24 God is Spirit, and only by the power of his Spirit can people worship him as he really is."

23 But the time is coming and is already here, when by the power of God’s Spirit people will worship the Father as he really is, offering him the true worship that he wants. 24 God is Spirit, and only by the power of his Spirit can people worship him as he really is."

21 Jesus said to her, "Believe me, woman, the time will come when people will not worship the Father either on this mountain or in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans do not really know whom you worship; but we Jews know whom we worship, because it is from the Jews that salvation comes. 23 But the time is coming and is already here, when by the power of God’s Spirit people will worship the Father as he really is, offering him the true worship that he wants.

Life in God’s Service

1 So then, my friends, because of God’s great mercy to us I appeal to you: Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to his service and pleasing to him. This is the true worship that you should offer. 2 Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God—what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect.

# 1 S 23.14 Longing for God#HEBREW TITLE: A psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judea.

1 O God, you are my God,

and I long for you.

My whole being desires you;

like a dry, worn-out, and waterless land,

my soul is thirsty for you.

3 Your constant love is better than life itself,

and so I will praise you.

4 I will give you thanks as long as I live;

I will raise my hands to you in prayer.

to receive glory, honor, and power.

For you created all things,

and by your will they were given existence and life."

Who will refuse to declare your greatness?

You alone are holy.

All the nations will come

and worship you,

because your just actions are seen by all."

8 I, John, have heard and seen all these things. And when I finished hearing and seeing them, I fell down at the feet of the angel who had shown me these things, and I was about to worship him. 9 But he said to me, "Don’t do it! I am a servant together with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all those who obey the words in this book. Worship God!"

11 *You are great and powerful, glorious, splendid, and majestic. Everything in heaven and earth is yours, and you are king, supreme ruler over all.

his love is eternal.

35 Say to him, "Save us, O God our Savior;

gather us together; rescue us from the nations,

so that we may be thankful

and praise your holy name."

36 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel!

Praise him now and forever!

Then all the people said, "Amen," and praised the Lord.

34 *Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good;

his love is eternal.

9 Sing praise to the Lord;

tell the wonderful things he has done.

9 For this reason God raised him to the highest place above

and gave him the name that is greater than any other name.

10 *And so, in honor of the name of Jesus

all beings in heaven, on earth, and in the world below*

will fall on their knees,

11 and all will openly proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

15 Let us, then, always offer praise to God as our sacrifice through Jesus, which is the offering presented by lips that confess him as Lord.

28 Let us be thankful, then, because we receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Let us be grateful and worship God in a way that will please him, with reverence and awe; 29 *because our God is indeed a destroying fire.

19 *Speak to one another with the words of psalms, hymns, and sacred songs; sing hymns and psalms to the Lord with praise in your hearts.

3 What we have seen and heard we announce to you also, so that you will join with us in the fellowship that we have with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

worship before his throne!

Holy is he!

and proclaim your glory.

prepare a way for him who rides on the clouds.*

cares for orphans and protects widows.

I sing praises to the Lord, the Most High.

I will praise you in their assembly:

Honor him, you descendants of Jacob!

Worship him, you people of Israel!

6 I lift up my hands to you in prayer;

like dry ground my soul is thirsty for you.

Why am I so troubled?

I will put my hope in God,

and once again I will praise him,

my savior and my God.

2 I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord;

all the good things I have come from you."

11 Serve the Lord with fear;

tremble

I will sing praise to you, Almighty God.

Who is like you, wonderful in holiness?

Who can work miracles and mighty acts like yours?

21 Praise him—he is your God, and you have seen with your own eyes the great and astounding things that he has done for you.

7 There, in the presence of the Lord your God, who has blessed you, you and your families will eat and enjoy the good things that you have worked for.

16 Their idolatry made the Lord jealous;

the evil they did made him angry.

17 *They sacrificed to gods that are not real,

new gods their ancestors had never known,

gods that Israel had never obeyed.

18 They forgot their God, their mighty savior,

the one who had given them life.

16 Do not let yourselves be led away from the Lord to worship and serve other gods.

13 *The Lord said, "These people claim to worship me, but their words are meaningless, and their hearts are somewhere else. Their religion is nothing but human rules and traditions, which they have simply memorized.

A Hymn of Praise

1 Lord, you are my God;

I will honor you and praise your name.

You have done amazing things;

you have faithfully carried out

the plans you made long ago.

42 *So God turned away from them and gave them over to worship the stars of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets:

‘People of Israel! It was not to me

that you slaughtered and sacrificed animals

for forty years in the desert.

43 It was the tent of the god Molech that you carried,

and the image of Rephan, your star god;

they were idols that you had made to worship.

And so I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.’

18 Do not allow yourselves to be condemned by anyone who claims to be superior because of special visions and who insists on false humility and the worship of angels. For no reason at all, such people are all puffed up by their human way of thinking 19 *and have stopped holding on to Christ, who is the head of the body. Under Christ’s control the whole body is nourished and held together by its joints and ligaments, and it grows as God wants it to grow.

3 Do not let anyone deceive you in any way. For the Day will not come until the final Rebellion takes place and the Wicked One appears, who is destined to hell. 4 *He will oppose every so-called god or object of worship and will put himself above them all. He will even go in and sit down in God’s Temple and claim to be God.

20 Then Job got up and tore his clothes in grief. He shaved his head and threw himself face downward on the ground. 21 *He said, "I was born with nothing, and I will die with nothing. The Lord gave, and now he has taken away. May his name be praised!"

11 *They sang the Lord's praises, repeating the refrain:

"The Lord is good, and his love for Israel is eternal."

Everyone shouted with all their might, praising the Lord, because the work on the foundation of the Temple had been started.

37 "And now, I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, honor, and glorify the King of Heaven. Everything he does is right and just, and he can humble anyone who acts proudly."

22 How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is none like you; we have always known that you alone are God.

2 "No one is holy like the Lord;

there is none like him,

no protector like our God.

5 The following Levites gave a call to worship: Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah. They said:

"Stand up and praise the Lord your God;

praise him forever and ever!

Let everyone praise his glorious name,

although no human praise is great enough."

17 Even though the fig trees have no fruit

and no grapes grow on the vines,

even though the olive crop fails

and the fields produce no grain,

even though the sheep all die

and the cattle stalls are empty,

18 I will still be joyful and glad,

because the Lord God is my savior.

12 Then you will call to me. You will come and pray to me, and I will answer you.

8 Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners! Purify your hearts, you hypocrites!
