• Lesser vs. Greater
• False vs. True
• Dead vs. Alive
2. Worship that is Expired and Decaying
• Ignorant Worship
• Idolatrous Worship
• Insincere Worship
3. Worship that is In-Spired and Alive
• The Spirit inspires desire for God so you want to worship God.
• The Spirit illuminates the character of God so you know who God is.
• The Spirit interprets the words of God so you worship in truth.
Worship is the Spirit-led response to the greatness of God.
