Why We Worship
from Chris Stuart - Tyndale’s Plowboy Hosted by cstpb
The central message of this sermon is that worship is a fundamental aspect of human existence, and it is determined by our understanding of God's nature. The preacher argues that when we attribute ultimate worth to something or someone other than the Creator, we are engaging in idolatry, which stems from a fundamental distortion about who God is. This message advances the belief that humans have a innate sense of God, known as general revelation, but that this knowledge is often compromised by our tendency to worship creation rather than the Creator. The preacher wants listeners to understand that true worship is not motivated by a desire to appease or honor God, but rather it arises from our recognition of our own creatureliness and sinfulness, and our need for a Savior. This understanding of worship as an expression of our creaturely dependence on the Creator has significant implications for how we relate to the world around us, and how we live out our lives in accordance with God's holiness.
