The Already But Not Yet

Is worship difficult for you?

For many people, it is. For many, it seems difficult or unnatural.

Now, why would 'worship' be difficult?

Well, we're not used to glorifying someone other than ourselves.

So, how do we fix this?

It begins with the study of God himself.

It begins with an appreciation of His character.

The more we understand God, the more natural worship becomes.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What sort of worship was taking place in 2 Chronicles 7?

B) What happened the moment the Temple was dedicated?

C) How can we grow in our love and commitment to worship?
