The Priority of Worship
matt 2.1-12
Introduction: We have been in the series called, Priorities.
Our first sermon encouraged us the place priority upon the will of God, the second message taught us to prioritize the Good News in our lives and last week we examined the priority of divine purpose.
Today, we wish to look at the Priority of worship.
As believers, we must recognize the activity of worship as important and necessary.
Worship is not something we as Christians can afford to ignore and dismiss from our lives.
We were created to worship.
DT: We are created to worship and bring Him glory when we worship
AIM: We will make worshipping God a priority in our lives
1 Chronicles
Psalm 96.
Transition: Since we are created to worship our texts we must
Be Determined to Worship Christ (vv.
1-7)

these guys had to have heard of Herod.
His reputation at that time was not the best of reputations.
But they were determined to worship Jesus!
Describe Herod the Great
Herod was a tyrant
Herod was insecure
Herod was paranoid
Illus:
Appl: Do not allow people and their issues to impede your worship.
People who make everything about them will try to make worship about them also.
Determine to worship Christ.
Transition: As we determine to worship Christ we must also be determined to get to the designated place of worship.
Be Determined to Get to the Designated Place of Worship (vv.
8-11)
matt 2. 8-11
This principle answers the question of where worship takes place.
While it is true that Christ can and should be worshiped anywhere, there is a place designated for for worship.
For these men the star hovered over the place which was where Jesus is.
They could have stopped but they kept going to place.
In fact, verse 10 says, they worshiped on the way to the place.
-The
-
These men wanted to be in the place where Christ is
They would not allow the terrain to be an excuse
They would not allow the king’s treachery to be an excuse
They would not allow the time to be an excuse
They wanted to be in the place!
There is nothing like being in the place where worship happens.
David says,
psalm 34
Psalm 34
ILLUS:
Appl: Make up your mind to be a part of worship each week.
Do not allow anything to keep you from getting to the place.
Church is the place designated for worship.
