God’s answer to boredom = Authentic worship
What is Authentic Worship?
- Definition – Worship is our response to God for who He is and what He has done.
- Romans 12:1
- Summary – Worship is the complete and total giving of ourselves for that which we believe has ULTIMATE PURPOSE and will provide the GREATEST REWARD.
3 Principles for authentic worship:
- Authentic worship can happen ANYWHERE. -John 4:21-22
- Authentic worship flows from the HEART. -John 4:23
- Authentic worship is rooted in an ACCURATE view of God and of ourselves. -John 4: 24

Conclusion: Worship is not a service you come to or an activity you practice; worship is a life-focus, an expression of your deepest longings, passions, and devotion to whom or what you love the most.
