In this sermon segment, the speaker defines worship as humanity’s being responding to God’s being, emphasizing that every aspect of a person is designed to reflect divine light. He links worship to revelation, using the Transfiguration narrative (Peter’s suggestion to build tabernacles for Moses and Elijah, the cloud, and the heavenly voice declaring Jesus as the beloved Son) to illustrate how God’s presence demands reverent response. The speaker contrasts the active, service‑oriented “Martha” attitude with the contemplative, worship‑focused “Mary” posture, urging listeners to sit at Jesus’ feet and worship rather than merely act. He stresses that fixing one’s eyes on Jesus transforms desires, making worldly pleasures fade and turning the believer into a “holy obsession” with Christ. The sermon concludes with a call for the congregation to lift their hands, bless Jesus, and invite the Holy Spirit to reveal Him more fully.

Chapters

And worship is your being responding to God's being. And every aspect of you was designed to respond to God. And as we face him, we become reflections of that marvelous light. And as we face him, we give him glory as we see his glory. Amen. Worship is a response To revelation. Verses 4 through 6, we see that Peter responds and says, let's build for Moses and Elijah tabernacles here. And I love the fact that no one even responds to his suggestion. While he was still speaking, he was interrupted. While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud said, this is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him. It's good to serve. It's good to act out your faith. It's good to demonstrate your Christianity. But people of God, there are moments when all we can do is fall on our faces and cry, holy. Holy. In moments like this, he's not looking for you to be a Martha. He's looking for Marys who will sit at his feet. Amen. And finally, we see that the voice calls attention to Jesus. When you look at the face of Jesus with the eyes of your heart, everything about this world begins to fade into the background. You begin to lose interest in the sinful pleasures of the world in which we live. Your desires begin to change. being begins to change, and he becomes your holy obsession. For the scripture says, and raising their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone. May we too see no one except Jesus. Lift your hands, begin to bless him, church. Holy Spirit, I pray that you would show us Jesus.
