Thanks to Yun Ying and Elvira for this week's lesson! Sorry its out so late!

HELLOOOO FOLKS!

As we all know, the main focus for this week’s WORSHIPJ below will be a few questions and answers to facilitate in your discussion!

WHAT

1) What’s worship to you BEFORE watching the video, then get them to summarise what they’ve learnt.

*worship is all about loving GOD, which is the primary purpose of your life as evident in

Matt 22:35-39

Do remember what they’ve shared so that you correct them at the end of the lesson is the answer ain’t right=)

WHY

Next, we’ll move on to the key verses for this lesson: Romans 12:1-3 (this is the ‘why’ part)

A Living Sacrifice

¹ Therefore, 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. ² Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

2) Why do we worship God?

Because God loves us so much that He had mercy on us by forgiving our sins. (try not to bring in grace cuz that leads to salvation and we might digress from the main point) This is supported in Rom 12:1’..in view of God’s mercy’.

HOW

Guide them through this part by following the questions closely below:

3) So how do we worship GOD?

Rom 12:1 says we OFFER our bodies as a LIVING SACRIFICE

4) So what does it mean to be a living sacrifice?

Another word for sacrifice would be an offering. Therefore, a living sacrifice would be living our daily lives as an offering to GOD (in view of His love and thus mercy on us as discussed earlier) as such, (THIS IS WHEN YOU CLEAR UP THEIR MISCONCEPTION ABOUT WORSHIP THAT ITS JUST SINGING SONGS etc.) its more than just singing songs but putting God first in ALL things.

5) Ask them what’re the idols in their lives (that stops them from being a living sacrifice for God daily, aka worshipping God daily)?

6) How are you going to start worshipping God daily by casting your idols aside? (practical approach? I think we should take note of what they say and follow up with them the following week J)

HOOK

(but makes more sense if done at the end)

WE’LL SING THE SONG ‘HEART OF WORSHIP’. Woo hoooo!!!!:D This songs summarises how our worship to God should be like, all about Him and not ourselves at all. Before singing the song, run through the lyrics with them and tell them to sing the song as a prayer unto God, that they truly wanna be that living sacrifice to God, having the heart of worship daily!

Verse 1:
When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart

Bridge:
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

Chorus:
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus

Verse 2:
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath

Bridge:
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

ALRIGHTYY! Hope it helps! May you all have a fruitful session! LOVEEE YAAA! :DDDDDD
