Jesus Loves Worship
Luke 7:36-50
Questions:
- How would you define worship?
- How do we worship as a church?
- Does that match our biblical understanding of worship?
Jon Bloom (from desiringgod.org) says: "we will love God to the degree that we recognize the magnitude of our sins and the immensity of God’s grace to forgive them."
- Do you agree?
- What are the dangers of getting this balance of recognising our sin AND God's grace wrong? What effect does this have on our ability to worship?
More personal Questions:
- What do you find holds you back in worship?
- Do you identify more with Simon or with the woman?
- If concern for your reputation or fear is preventing you from fully worshipping God, this would be a great time to pray for the assurance of God's love that casts out fear.
