Tear Down The Walls

In two weeks I will be preaching my One Prayer message on God Is To Be Worshiped.  One thing I’m very passionate about in the church is that God’s sons and daughters worship at full volume; with full out assault on the  Throne of God, shouting to God’s love.  Ever since this song for Hillsong United came out, I’ve been singing it, listening to it, and now praying the words. 

VERSE 1:
Tear down the walls see the world
Is there something we have missed
Turn from ourselves
Look beyond
There is so much more than this

PRE CHORUS:
And I don’t need to see it to believe it
I don’t need to see it to believe it
Cause I can’t shake this
Fire deep inside my heart

I’m absolutley juiced outta mind to preach on the subject of worship.  Growing up in small country, Southern Baptist church, I saw people come in on a weekly basis, sing half heartedly whatever the “song leader” picked out that morning and have no clue that they were singing to Jesus.  Now I have this burden to teach and preach whenever I can on worship.  And it’s more than a song, more than the music, more than just lyrics.  But you would be surprised at how many people do not know that.  That’s not a knock if you don’t know it.  You just were not taught that.  A lot of people growing up in the church weren’t.  I didn’t really understand true worship till I was in my college years.  And I’m still learning. 

 

Next week I’m going to do a series of posts on worship.  I hope to have some guests posts as well.  We’ll cover the topic of worship in the church, some of the Ridge’s philosophy and approach to worship as well as just some personal thoughts on worship.  Should be a lot of fun.  

BRIDGE:
Oh for all the sons and daughters
Who are walking in the darkness
You are calling us to lead them back to You
We will see Your spirit rising
As the lost come out of hiding
Every heart will see this hope we have in You
