People who Attract: Worship (1 Kings 8:37-43, 1 Kings 8:60-61)
Andy King, 16 February 2014
Part of the Missio Dei - Part Two : The People of Mission series, Sunday Morning service
What is worship and what does it look like in our own lives and for us as a community? Worship is referred to over 200 times in Scripture, so it is clearly a very significant theme. For us when we gather together it is an important part of all we do. The Bible calls for our worship to be acceptable and pleasing to God. This morning we will look at how we can do that. Kings 8:37-43, 60-61

1 Kings 8:37–43 (Listen)
37 “If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence or blight or mildew or locust or caterpillar, if their enemy besieges them in the land at their gates, whatever plague, whatever sickness there is, 38 whatever prayer, whatever plea is made by any man or by all your people Israel, each knowing the affliction of his own heart and stretching out his hands toward this house, 39 then hear in heaven your dwelling place and forgive and act and render to each whose heart you know, according to all his ways (for you, you only, know the hearts of all the children of mankind), 40 that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land that you gave to our fathers.
41 “Likewise, when a foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, comes from a far country for your name’s sake 42 (for they shall hear of your great name and your mighty hand, and of your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this house, 43 hear in heaven your dwelling place and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to you, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house that I have built is called by your name.
(ESV)
1 Kings 8:60–61 (Listen)
60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God; there is no other. 61 Let your heart therefore be wholly true to the LORD our God, walking in his statutes and keeping his commandments, as at this day.”
(ESV)
