Louvor e adoração
O louvor e a adoração são o propósito supremo da vida cristã. A Bíblia está repleta de exortações a louvar o Senhor — com cânticos, instrumentos, danças e com todo o nosso ser.
Louvai ao Senhor!
Todo ser que respira louve ao Senhor! O louvor é o sacrifício agradável que oferecemos continuamente a Deus.
15 Through him, therefore, let us offer up continually, the sacrifice of praise to God; namely, the fruit of our lips, confessing to his name.

Louvor como estilo de vida
Bendirei ao Senhor em todo tempo; o seu louvor estará sempre nos meus lábios. O louvor não depende de circunstâncias.
18 In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God, by Christ Jesus, concerning you.
Adoração em espírito e verdade
Os verdadeiros adoradores adorarão ao Pai em espírito e em verdade. Deus busca os que o adoram com coração sincero.
23 But the time comes, or, rather, is come, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such are the worshipers whom the Father requires.

A grandeza de Deus
Grande é o Senhor e mui digno de louvor! Sua grandeza é insondável. Os céus declaram sua glória e toda a criação o adora.
Cânticos e instrumentos
Cantai ao Senhor um cântico novo! Louvai com salmos, hinos e cânticos espirituais, fazendo melodia no coração ao Senhor.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; and with all wisdom teach and admonish each other by psalms and hymns, and spiritual songs; singing with gratitude in your hearts to the Lord.

Louvor nas lutas

Gratidão e louvor
Em tudo dai graças. O louvor nasce da gratidão por quem Deus é e pelo que Ele faz. Cada bênção é motivo de adoração.
A majestade do Rei
Ao nome de Jesus todo joelho se dobrará. A adoração culminará na eternidade, onde os redimidos louvarão ao Cordeiro para sempre.
