Theme: Adoration

WELCOME & INTRODUCTION

ADORATION – Psalm 145 1 I will exalt you, O God my King, and bless your name for ever and ever. 2 Every day will I bless you and praise your name for ever and ever. 3 Great is the Lord and highly to be praised; his greatness is beyond all searching out. 4 One generation shall praise your works to another and declare your mighty acts. 5 They shall speak of the majesty of your glory, and I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. 6 They shall speak of the might of your marvellous acts, and I will also tell of your greatness. 7 They shall pour forth the story of your abundant kindness and joyfully sing of your righteousness. 8 The Lord is gracious and merciful, long-suffering and of great goodness. 9 The Lord is loving to everyone and his mercy is over all his creatures.

10 All your works praise you, O Lord, and your faithful servants bless you. 11 They tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your mighty power, 12 To make known to all peoples your mighty acts and the glorious splendour of your kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; your dominion endures throughout all ages. 14 The Lord is sure in all his words and faithful in all his deeds. 22 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

“Adoration”

LEARNING FROM EACH OTHER Before resuming the audio, take a little time to answer the following for yourself; if you're with someone else then share your answers. Otherwise, jot down a few notes to act as a conversation starter! What did you find most helpful or most challenging in the video? Why do we most often associate prayer with asking, rather than worship and adoration? When are the times that prayer feels most enjoyable? In the Acts passage, the early church put their own crisis into perspective by worshipping. What are the practical things you could do this week to foster an attitude of worship in your daily routine given the crisis we are in?
