W O R S H I P

You’ll note that the holiness of God is one of the central themes in worship this morning. You’ll also recall that when the Scriptures speak of God’s holiness, they frequently mention that hosts of angels and all those who have been redeemed sing together. People from every tribe and nation join in the great chorus of heavenly worship. All of God’s created beings unite in one grand community of worshipers. We live in a very physical world. We may be tempted to think this morning that the only worshiping that is going on is that which we can see and hear in the sanctuary. All of us who are trusting in Christ are actually part of a very real, unseen world, a community made up of earthly and heavenly beings all giving praise to their Creator. Those in the heavenly community give glory to God in their work and worship even as those of us on earth do the same. As you sing the opening hymn this morning, imagine that you are in the front row of a choir of thousands of saints and angels in heaven singing praise to God. Truth is, you are! Don’t ever get caught worshiping only on earth! Worshiping God connects heaven and earth.

- Dr. Dan Sharp
