The Way of a Worshiper: A Saddleback Church Small Group Study Lumivoz Bible Studies

So, what do you do with a love like God's? How do you respond to that kind of extravagant love, grace, and mercy? In this session from Saddleback Church's pastor, Buddy Owens we look at God's incredible mercy and examine God's view of us! And in light of God's opinion of us, what should we do next?

Last episode we saw that worship is declaring the worth or value of God. This week we look at the "great exchange of worship!" Worship aligns us with the throne of God’s grace. Does that mean you have to say nice things to God to get him to do nice things for you? Not at all. What it means is that when you worship God, you align yourself with his throne of grace. You are more likely to feast at the King’s table if you sit at the King’s feet. You are more likely to get wet if you stand in the river than if you wait out in the desert.

God still loves the world and he wants to love the world through you. Yes the world is sinful. Yes terrible things happen everyday. But God still loves the world despite all of that, and he wants to use you to show how much He loves the people around you.

This is the final episode in our series.

When you “let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,” like the tea bag in water, it will change you from the inside out. You will no longer conform to the world, but you will be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Don't forget to check the show notes for discussion questions and the putting it all together segment that will cover the whole series.

Are you looking for God? The pursuit of God is the chase of a life time. In fact, its been going on since the day you were born. The question is: Have you been the hunter or the prey? This small group study is not about music. Its not even about going to church. Its about living your life as an offering of worship to God. Its about tapping into the source of power to live the Christian life. And its about discovering the secret to friendship with God.

In this four-week study, Buddy Owens, author and teacher, will help you understand the meaning of worship. Through his very practical, engaging, and at times surprising insights, Buddy shares truths from Scripture and from life that will help you understand in a new and deeper way just what it means to be a worshiper.
