OUTLINE - Worship Works: His Sacrifice My Praise 02/12/12

Sermon Text: Hebrews 13: 15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of Praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name.
Sermon Title: Worship Works: His Sacrifice My Praise
Hebrews 7:27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
Once we digest that we are now ready to worship in three ways: Personal, Public, and for our Problems.
Point 1: Personal
a) W/o guilt. Romans 8: 1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus
b) W/consistency vs. 15 …let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise…
c) A lifestyle of praise Romans 12: 1 and a mouth full of praise. Psalms 103 I will bless the Lord at all times and praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Point 2: Public Heb 13: 2 Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
(a) Hurry up. Psalm 122: 1 KJV I was glad when they said unto me let us go into the house of the Lord
(b) Heart. Psalm 86: 12 KJV I will praise thee, O Lord my God with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
(c) Happy. 2 Timothy 2:3 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. James told us how to do it James 1: 2 count it all joy… James 5: 13…is any happy let him sing praise songs
(d) Honor. Rev 5: 13…to him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, forever and ever!
Point 3: Problem.
(a) W/full assurance the psalmist said in Psalms 73 he life was in torment. He could not understand why he was doing so poorly and sinners were doing so well. It didn’t make sense to him until he came to the sanctuary. Psalm 73: 17 till I entered the sanctuary then I understood their final destiny.
