What is our primary function in our life?

·         John 4:23-24

·         Often, worship is the music in a corporate service that is followed by the preaching. An entire style of music has been labeled “praise and worship” to separate music from traditional hymns.

·         Jesus exposes the false assumption of worship, He guides the Samaritan woman into an amazing recognition of His glory and His mission to save people from their sins.

·         True worship erupts in the soul of one who understands that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away sin. He is the living water that cleanses the deepest thirst of the soul.

·         When Jesus speaks to us about true worship, He invites us to explore the depths of His love through worship.

·         The Father who is omnipresent, omniscience, is lacking one thing-worship 

·         The Father is looking for a true Worship.

·         The worship the Father desire is worship in spirit and in truth.
