STEPS OF WORSHIP IN SCRIPTURE

 

HH, Patriarch Godfrey Gregg

Worship is a journey of the heart and soul towards God's presence, and the Bible offers guidance in how to approach Him meaningfully. Here are foundational steps with Scriptures:

1. Invitation

Worship begins with an invitation to enter God's presence joyfully and wholeheartedly.

  • “Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.” — Psalm 95:1​

2. Humility

A heart attitude of humility is essential, recognizing God’s grace and our need for Him.

  • “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” — James 4:6​

3. Thanksgiving

Offer thanksgiving for all God has done, expressing gratitude as you approach Him.

  • “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” — Psalm 100:4​

4. Praise and Adoration

Engage in praise and adoration, lifting voices, songs, and music to honour God’s greatness and goodness.

  • “Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.” — Psalm 95:2​

  • “Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.” — Psalm 95:6​

5. Intimacy and Fellowship

Draw near with intimacy and reverence, acknowledging God's care and our relationship with Him.

  • “For he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.” — Psalm 95:7​

6. Living Sacrifice

True worship is not only what is done in gatherings, but also offering oneself as a living sacrifice each day.

  • “Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” — Romans 12:1​

7. Spirit and Truth

God desires worship that is authentic, from the heart, honest and aligned with His truth.

  • “True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.” — John 4:23​

May these Scriptures and steps encourage a deeper, richer walk with God in worship, both privately and in community.​

GEORGIA GUIDESTONES

  Visiting the Georgia Guidestones: A Mysterious Roadside Attraction By  Paul Entin   /  3.9.20 Standing alone in a field in the middle of rural Elbert County, Georgia, the Georgia Guidestones monument features six granite slabs with ten commandments. But not  the  Ten Commandments. So what is written on the Georgia Guidestones and what do they say about our global future? Read on. People wonder if the Georgia Guidestones really exist because the message inscribed on the granite monolith seems too horrific to believe. Conspiracy theorists point to its writings and its mysterious origin story as proof of a globalist plot to reduce the world population, eliminate national sovereignty, and replace individual rights with a communist dictatorship, among other plans. The Guidestones consist of four, tall, stone slabs. These slabs surround a central slab and a final slab sits on top of them all as a capstone. Slits in the center slab and capstone direct the sunlig...

THE ETERNAL WALK

  HH, Patriarch Godfrey Gregg The journey of faith is not limited to the span of our earthly years—it is a walk that stretches into eternity. For those who belong to the Lord, life is more than a fleeting moment; it is the beginning of an everlasting union with God. Our walk with Him is both present and eternal. From the beginning, God has desired fellowship with man.  “Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away”  (Genesis 5:24). Enoch’s life reminds us that walking with God is not bound by earthly limitations but leads to eternal fellowship with Him. Jesus confirms this promise of eternal companionship, declaring:  “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die”  (John 11:25–26). Our walk continues beyond death, for in Christ we have eternal life. Paul describes this journey beautifully:  “For we walk by faith, not by ...

US GREAT MYSTERIES

      One of the US' greatest mysteries     Atop a desolate hill in a small US town are the Georgia Guidestones: an eerie 19ft tall granite monument with a post-apocalyptic message for the world.   By Shannon Dell 3 September 2015 The drone of the man’s oak didgeridoo reverberated off the granite. “Not that I know when Doomsday is,” he said, parting his lips from the mouthpiece and pointing toward the 19ft tall thick, grey stones a few yards from us. “But whenever it hits, this is right where I’d want to be.” I met Anthony, a hitchhiker from North Carolina, at the site of the  Georgia Guidestones , a mysterious six-piece granite monument atop a desolate hill in the small town of Elberton, Georgia. He had stopped at the site on his way to see the  Coral Castle  – another mysterious stone structure – in Homestead, Florida. I had stopped because I’m a sucker for roadside oddities. “It's no wonder this was chosen as the site for the guidestones. ...
