about this SERIES

Worship is one of the ultimate themes of this life, but it is never a question of whether worship will or won't occur in the heart of a human being. It's more a case of whether that worship will travel, travel in the proper direction, and end up in the right place. It's guaranteed that everyone on this planet will be an extravagant worshipper of some kind, sacrificially spending themselves in a life of desire and devotion. But it's by no means guaranteed that their worship will travel along the right paths. People will find a way to worship anything and everything, but all the time God is calling us back to himself, back to being the God reflectors and image bearers, we were meant to be.

He is the only one worthy of our worship. As C.S Lewis reminds us, “idols inevitably break the hearts of the worshippers, but not so when we worship Jesus of cause, the complete opposite occurs, and we find ourselves in a place of fulfilment and satisfaction”.

One of the most reorientating passages in scriptures when it comes to the theme of worship is Revelation Chapters 4 and 5. Here we see things set up as they were ever supposed to be. There in the centre is the throne of God and everything else arranges itself around the throne. We see a rainbow encircling that throne and encounter a multitude of angels doing exactly the same thing, encircling the throne of Jesus. This is a picture of how life should look here on Earth, just as it is in heaven.

We are meant to gather ourselves around the throne of God and make sure Jesus is absolutely central.

We pray through this series we will rediscover the truth a of whole life worship, not that act of singing songs on a Sunday morning. That we will have hearts open to the whispers of the Holy Spirit, and we would be ready for him to guide, remind, realign, and even surprise us for our greater good and for His greater glory.
