Worship: It's What We Do Part 2 | Chris Gregg

That Thing We Do: Something More I believe most people know there’s something more to life. Acts 17:16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols.God is seeking you. He blankets each new day with the invitation, “I am here.”Acts 17:22-23 So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. 23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘To the unknown god.’ What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.“To the unknown god.”People everywhere are still searching....and still building idols. The Ultimate Search God is always seeking you. Every sunset, every clear blue sky, every ocean wave, every starry night, God is saying, “I am here.” God reveals Himself to everyone through the natural world.We know He’s there. There’s something more to this life than living and dying.Nature alone wasn’t enough to tell His story, God couldn’t be clearly known...until His Son appeared. Jesus came to “Seek and Save the lost.”God wants you to know Him. Hebrews 1:3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,God wants you to know Him.Meet GodActs 17:24-25 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, 25 nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.God isn’t stuck in church world. God is near now!God is really close to you in this very moment.Every last one of us has been created with a searching soul. Acts 17:27-28 that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, 28 for “‘In him we live and move and have our being’; We are designed by God so we would find no rest until we find our rest in Him. We are reaching for someone we cannot see. God is reaching for you too. He’s seeking you because He is God. Jesus willingly came to connect us to God and awaken us to the possibility of centering our worship on who and what matters most....forever.
