The importance of worship is huge. Worship Matters. Worship matters to God. Worship matters to you. Often, we allow personal distractions to get in the way.

Sometimes we go to church, but we don’t worship.
We sing songs, but we don’t worship.
We listen to sermons, but we don’t worship.
We serve in a ministry area—but don’t worship.

All of these things are elements of worship, but they are not worship in and of themselves, which means that you can do all of them and yet have failed to truly worship God.

Worship is a lifestyle. It’s the gathering of believers to practice our beliefs and celebration of Him.

Praise is the expression we give to the ‘worship’ we live.

Worship involves more than we realize.

6 Reasons For The Importance of Worship:

1.  Worships Involves Surrender of Our Lives

“I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”
Rom 12:1

2.  Worship Is Putting Our Focus on Him

The importance of worship is that it is based on the desire to honor God. It requires a personal revelation of God as found in the Scriptures. Worship is not based on my likes or dislikes. It is not based on my personal preferences or priorities. It is a focus on Him.
