Lesson 2

Real Worship

Three things that must be present for real worship

Revelation 1:9-20

Outline:

Three things that are needed to experience real worship:

1. The Right Attitude (vv.9-10)

    A- I must recognize who I am. (V.9).

         1) I am a family member.

         2) I am a companion to other Christians who are in tribulation.

         3) I am a citizen of the Kingdom where Christ rules.

         4) I am a part of those who steadfastly persevere.

     B- I must recognize that there is a cause worth selling out to.

     C- I must be in tune with God in all circumstances (v.10).

2. The Undivided Attention (vv. 11-16).

     A- Pay attention to what He has to say (v.12).

     B- Worship Him for who He is (vv.13-16).

          1) He is the one who has the final word.

          2) He is our high priest and mediator.

          3) He is the Holy One.

          4) He is the one who knows all about you.

          5) He is the one who will judge me.

          6) He is the one with all power.

          7) He is the one who upholds the ones who serve Him.

3. The Required Action (vv. 17-20).

    A- Adoration (v.17).

         1) Real adoration will cause us to worship at His feet.
