BUBIASHIE NORTH WORSHIP CENTRE

Sunday 17 February, 2013 Pastor Bonnah Sumo Acts 9: 36-41 Now there was at Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity. In those days she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.  38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him entreating him, "Please come to us without delay." So Peter rose and went with them. And when he had come, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping, and showing tunics and other garments which Dorcas made while she was with them. But Peter put them all outside and knelt down and prayed; then turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, rise."

From the beginning of the year we have come to an agreement that true worship is through Christ and all the rest is false worship. Today, we turn our attention to attitude in worship, which is required for results. Main Readings: Genesis 4:1-9; 1Cor. 11:27-29; Rev 3:15,16 Eccl. 9:10 IN BRIEF Everybody relates to God, but what makes the difference is how. Some relate to Him with rever ence (Abel), some with apathy (Cain I, v3), and some with contempt (Cain II, v9) The normal axiom has been that our sin separates us from God (Isaiah 59: 1,2) but who can make that assertion, now that Jesus, the sacrificial lamb of God, has paid for all our sin. In Isaiah 58 as in 1 Corinthians 11, the people observed the sacrifice ordinances of burnt offerings, fasting and appearing before the lord, but their attitude was selfish. What can separate us from God now is our attitude. SACRIFICE WITH ATTITUDE After man’s fall, the children of Adam and Eve probably learnt quickly that to draw near God now and...
