INTRODUCTION
New Series: THE WAY OF THE WORSHIPPER
Worship, very simply, is not for us.
Worship is a gift that we give to someone else.
Worship is for God.
The origin of our word worship is similar to the word worth.
We think about what something is worth, its value.
In Revelation, one of our great sources of teaching about worship, we hear the refrain:
Difference Between Praise & Worship
Understanding the difference between praise and worship can bring a new depth to the way we honor the Lord.
PRAISE
Throughout the Bible, the commands to "praise the Lord" are too numerous to mention.
Angels and the heavenly hosts are commanded to praise the Lord (; ; ).
All inhabitants of the earth are instructed to praise the Lord (; ).
We can praise Him with singing (; ), with shouting (; ), with the dance (), and with musical instruments (; ; ).
Praise is the joyful recounting of all God has done for us.
Praise is linked to thanksgiving as we offer back to God appreciation for His mighty works on our behalf.
Praise is universal and can be applied to other relationships as well.
We can praise our family, friends, boss, or paperboy.
Praise does not require anything of us.
It is merely the truthful acknowledgment of the righteous acts of another.
Since God has done many wonderful deeds, He is worthy of praise ().
WORSHIP
On the other hand, worship is BI-DIRECTIONAL; IT IS relational.
It is not only our communion with God.
It is also is His communion with us.
Worship comes from a different place within our spirits.
Worship should be reserved for God alone ().
Worship is the art of losing self in the adoration of another.
Worship is the art of losing self in the adoration of another.
Praise can be a part of worship, but worship goes beyond praise.
Praise is easy; worship is not.
Worship gets to the heart of who we are.
To truly worship God, we must let go of our self-worship.
We must be willing to humble ourselves before God, surrender every part of our lives to His control, and adore Him for who He is, not just what He has done.
Worship is a lifestyle, not just an occasional activity.

Worship is a lifestyle, not just an occasional activity.
Just as praise is intertwined with thanksgiving, worship is intertwined with surrender.
It is impossible to worship God and anything else at the same time .
Praise is unidirectional.
We praise God.
He does not praise us.
Praise is our acknowledgement of His power, authority, wisdom and worthiness.
Praise does not require a response from the one who is being praised.

We see a rich picture of what worship looks like in the sixth chapter of Isaiah.
Isaiah is in the temple, overwhelmed with the beauty and glory of God, and he hears the voices singing, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is filled with his glory” (v.
3).

SCRIPTURE
1.
A vision of the LORD
a. His exaltation & majesty
1) Isaiah saw Him on His throne
2) Isaiah saw the LORD’s flowing robe fill the temple
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
b.
His holiness & glory
1) Isaiah saw the seraphim above God’s throne
• They were like humans: Had faces, feet, & voices
• They had six wings
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
2) Isaiah witnessed the seraphim’s fervent, unbroken praise of God’s holiness & glory
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
c.
His power & presence: Isaiah saw the power of the seraphim’s voices & saw smoke—God’s presence—fill the temple
