WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.000 Welcome to Watermark. How are you guys doing? 00:00:03.020 --> 00:00:06.820 Okay, so we are going to try something totally different today, 00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:09.720 which is a neat thing about what I like about being here, 00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:11.380 is that we try different things all the time. 00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.519 And so we're going to enter into a time of worship. 00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:17.940 Okay, we're going to talk about worship today. 00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.280 And when I say the word worship, I realize that a lot of people have many, 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.400 many different ideas of what worship means. 00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:25.920 We're going to set down some groundwork. 00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:30.400 We're going to say basically worship is our response to what we value the most. 00:00:31.360 --> 00:00:32.579 Can you repeat that? 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.560 Worship is our response to what we value the most. 00:00:36.859 --> 00:00:38.679 Now, I don't know what you value the most. 00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.140 It might be a person. It might be a thing. 00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:43.859 It might be an experience. 00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:49.060 But whatever you value the most, worship is how you react to that. 00:00:50.020 --> 00:00:52.240 You go to concerts, you see people worshiping. 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:57.820 You go to offices every day in Central, you're going to see people worshiping. 00:00:58.760 --> 00:01:01.359 Worship is our response to what we value the most. 00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:05.240 The second ground rule we want to lay down is that we were made to worship. 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:10.879 The Bible says that you and I were created by God and for God, 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:13.500 that we were made to worship. 00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:17.439 It's in our DNA that we cannot not worship. 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.060 But everything we do as we walk throughout our day, we worship. 00:01:21.939 --> 00:01:23.079 We worship people. 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.039 We worship things. 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:24.920 We worship titles. 00:01:25.060 --> 00:01:25.679 We worship stuff. 00:01:26.099 --> 00:01:28.280 I don't know what you're worshiping today. 00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.400 If you want to find out what you worship today, 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:33.259 all you need to do is look at your time. 00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:36.340 Look at your thoughts. 00:01:38.459 --> 00:01:40.259 Look at where your energy goes to. 00:01:41.979 --> 00:01:43.599 Look at where you spend your money. 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:48.739 Look at what you think about when you have free time. 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:51.659 Now, you might say, well, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:53.819 That's not, yeah, that's, this is abnormal. 00:01:54.339 --> 00:01:57.379 And that's, well, no, that's, that's just, that's just because I'm here. 00:01:58.579 --> 00:02:03.119 But the Bible says that whatever is the focus of those things, 00:02:03.679 --> 00:02:05.979 that's what you worship. 00:02:07.679 --> 00:02:11.620 The people of God had to relearn that in the passage we're going to look at today. 00:02:11.620 --> 00:02:17.259 God sends a deliverer, Moses, into Egypt, and he delivers them from bondage. 00:02:17.700 --> 00:02:21.120 And they see how great God is, and they see how much they need him. 00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.039 But they still don't understand worship. 00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:27.420 And so he takes them to a mountain. 00:02:28.780 --> 00:02:31.420 And this mountain, he meets them. 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.400 He blows this horn, this ram's horn, this shofar. 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:43.219 And he calls all the people to worship him. 00:02:44.900 --> 00:02:45.879 Sometimes we get it wrong. 00:02:45.939 --> 00:02:48.219 We think we're calling God to come and worship us. 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:54.520 But the passage says that God calls us to worship him. 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:55.520 Amen. 00:03:18.700 --> 00:03:19.320 Amen. 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:39.359 Hey, you know, the passage we're looking at today is a passage that I've gone to many times in my life, 00:03:39.379 --> 00:03:41.539 and I want to keep coming back to it as a church. 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:48.539 I think it has a lot to teach us about worship and what does that mean in our journey with God. 00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:58.459 The people of God were in bondage for 400 years, and they forgot what it meant to worship God. 00:03:59.419 --> 00:04:06.319 And so God had to show them his greatness and his power, and that only he could save them and free them from bondage. 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:15.439 And only then, as they saw him as he truly is, in their great need for him, could they worship him. 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:20.779 Because before that, if they didn't know who he was, they couldn't worship him fully or truly. 00:04:21.740 --> 00:04:27.000 They were just worshiping an idea or a thought or a good feeling. 00:04:27.939 --> 00:04:32.699 And the passage you have today, I think, is both topics of Old and New Testament, 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.019 of people coming to the mountain to worship God. 00:04:36.259 --> 00:04:40.060 And the God is the same in both passages, Old and New Testament. 00:04:40.060 --> 00:04:43.860 And the people are the same in both passages, Old and New Testament. 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.800 Our problems are the same in both passages, Old and New Testament. 00:04:48.339 --> 00:04:52.759 The difference is, is now we have a mediator who goes before us. 00:04:53.459 --> 00:04:55.240 And that mediator is Jesus Christ. 00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.360 In the Old Testament passage, Moses went before the people, 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.740 and he tried to represent God and tried to show them what God wanted. 00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:07.720 And the people trembled with fear, as you look at the bulletin. 00:05:09.740 --> 00:05:13.800 Most Hebrew rabbis would say that it is God who blew the trumpet. 00:05:15.259 --> 00:05:17.040 But God was the one announcing it. 00:05:17.100 --> 00:05:20.960 And when the people heard the sound, they didn't even want to come close to God. 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.240 Because they knew what was going on inside of their hearts. 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:25.280 They knew their need. 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:31.079 And this was the first time in 400 years that they met a God who is holy. 00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:33.500 And just. 00:05:35.139 --> 00:05:35.840 And righteous. 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:38.400 And good. 00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:41.120 And gentle. 00:05:41.259 --> 00:05:43.420 And they had never experienced any of those things in Egypt. 00:05:44.819 --> 00:05:48.620 And there's just a couple, two points I want to share with us. 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.840 Two points I want to lay down again as a foundation for our journey. 00:05:52.900 --> 00:05:53.660 Because we're on a journey. 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.160 At the end of these sermons, I hope you don't hear, okay, that's great. 00:05:57.259 --> 00:05:58.079 Okay, I need to do this. 00:05:58.079 --> 00:05:59.920 I hope you never hear, I have to do anything. 00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:04.480 And except for worship the Lord and surrender my life to him and have him change me. 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:10.300 But in this journey and foundation, we need to lay down two things. 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:11.340 And we're talking about a journey. 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:12.439 We're taking this next step. 00:06:12.500 --> 00:06:15.800 And as a church, we're taking this next step in worship. 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:22.020 And we're asking God to meet us and for us to see him as he truly is. 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:29.040 And the first thing that I want us to understand, the first stone I want to lay down in this bridge or this walkway of worship, 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.180 is that it is God who initiates worship. 00:06:33.460 --> 00:06:36.300 It's God who calls the people out of bondage. 00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:43.819 It's God who seeks you out as you're on this journey and you don't care anything about him. 00:06:45.180 --> 00:06:48.100 It's God who comes and he initiates all these things. 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:49.920 And it's very specific in this passage. 00:06:50.280 --> 00:06:53.860 He doesn't give them the law and say, okay, here's the Ten Commandments. 00:06:53.960 --> 00:06:56.300 Get all these rules and laws really good. 00:06:56.540 --> 00:07:00.939 And if you get them like 85% correct, then I'm going to come and I'm going to free you. 00:07:00.939 --> 00:07:03.939 But you've got to prove yourself to me first. 00:07:05.259 --> 00:07:06.360 He doesn't say that. 00:07:08.019 --> 00:07:10.259 God comes to the people in bondage. 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:13.060 And he frees them. 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:16.839 There's nothing that we have to do. 00:07:16.939 --> 00:07:18.360 There's nothing way we have to be. 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.019 But he just comes and he rescues us. 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.959 And in this Exodus passage, he takes us to a mountain to meet him. 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:35.359 But in the New Testament passage, he takes us to a cross to meet him. 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.379 In the very first stone, you have to get down. 00:07:39.500 --> 00:07:41.299 You cannot forget this when you leave here. 00:07:41.579 --> 00:07:45.899 You have to understand that God is the one who initiates worship with you. 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:49.560 He's the one who's called you here. 00:07:51.039 --> 00:07:54.659 He's the one who's speaking to you through the worship and through the friends and through the community 00:07:54.659 --> 00:07:56.519 and through all of his creation. 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.939 And if we forget that, we forget how great he is and we forget our need for him. 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:04.759 But he wants to bring us to the cross. 00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:08.620 He wants to meet us every moment of every day. 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:10.939 Not just Sunday. 00:08:12.419 --> 00:08:16.179 The second stone I want to lay down in this worship pathway is just this. 00:08:16.219 --> 00:08:16.879 And it's really simple. 00:08:17.299 --> 00:08:18.799 Our worship matters to God. 00:08:20.899 --> 00:08:22.879 How we worship God matters. 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:28.519 I mean, you read in the passage that the people, they prepared for three days, 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:31.540 cleaning and cleansing and cleaning and cleansing, 00:08:31.719 --> 00:08:35.919 because they knew that they were about to approach a holy and just and righteous God. 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:43.759 How we worship God matters. 00:08:46.099 --> 00:08:48.819 I think sometimes I forget that. 00:08:51.319 --> 00:08:53.319 I think sometimes I think, well, he's just my homeboy. 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:53.919 He's okay. 00:08:55.099 --> 00:08:57.559 He'll take whatever I give him. 00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.099 But the scripture says no. 00:09:01.099 --> 00:09:04.579 I mean, the scripture says that he wants us to come to worship him. 00:09:04.779 --> 00:09:05.819 And he says be careful. 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:12.199 Because he says whatever you worship, you're going to become like. 00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:16.720 You have a choice today. 00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:17.740 Here is God. 00:09:17.820 --> 00:09:18.640 He's blowing the trumpet. 00:09:18.900 --> 00:09:20.259 He wants you to come to worship him. 00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:21.180 But you have a choice. 00:09:21.280 --> 00:09:22.240 You don't have to come to him. 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:23.440 You don't have to worship him. 00:09:23.640 --> 00:09:24.720 You don't have to spend time with him. 00:09:24.920 --> 00:09:27.480 But whatever you spend time with today, 00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:31.700 that's what you're going to become like. 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.100 Because whatever you worship, you imitate. 00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:43.100 And whatever you imitate, you become like. 00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.000 I mean, you guys know that, right? 00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:52.360 You're working with people every day who worship money and power and sex and relationships. 00:09:52.680 --> 00:09:55.420 And it's not too long to stand back and look at their life. 00:09:55.700 --> 00:10:01.879 And their life becomes money and power and sex and relationships. 00:10:02.180 --> 00:10:03.580 And it's all they talk about. 00:10:03.580 --> 00:10:10.720 One of my favorite stories is the Lord of the Rings. 00:10:11.860 --> 00:10:14.360 And in that story, you have this ring of power. 00:10:16.100 --> 00:10:20.780 And this hobbit or pre-hobbit who worships the ring. 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:24.500 What happens to that hobbit? 00:10:26.040 --> 00:10:27.000 He changes. 00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:31.520 And becomes something disfigured and ugly. 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.879 And the only thing he can say, the only thing that's on his mind, 00:10:35.079 --> 00:10:37.319 the only thing he thinks about in his free time is what? 00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:39.740 My precious. 00:10:42.299 --> 00:10:43.100 My precious. 00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:48.319 And the question we have to ask ourselves is when we come to worship God today is, 00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:50.100 what is our precious? 00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:55.059 What is it that we hold on to? 00:10:55.139 --> 00:10:56.360 What is it that we seek to? 00:10:56.460 --> 00:10:58.840 What is it that we risk everything to get? 00:10:58.840 --> 00:10:58.920 What? 00:11:01.160 --> 00:11:04.879 Because worship is our response to that thing which we value the most. 00:11:07.800 --> 00:11:10.399 And God is saying, I want that to be me. 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:12.759 I made you. 00:11:13.379 --> 00:11:14.200 I know you. 00:11:15.379 --> 00:11:17.960 And your worship matters to me. 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:21.320 So God is always initiating. 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:23.840 God is always pursuing. 00:11:24.800 --> 00:11:27.280 God is speaking to you even as you walk through your day. 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.660 Sometimes we just don't hear because we're so busy and we're just so hardened. 00:11:31.560 --> 00:11:34.940 But the trumpet continues to blow and he continues to speak out to us. 00:11:36.420 --> 00:11:39.000 And how you respond to that call, 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.620 how you worship him, 00:11:41.620 --> 00:11:44.799 is important. 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.120 It makes a difference. 00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:53.179 I've been praying about this a lot on my own journey. 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:54.820 And I think that if I understood this, 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.240 if I understood God's holiness, 00:11:57.419 --> 00:11:59.460 if I understood God initiating, 00:11:59.779 --> 00:12:03.200 if I understood my need for him, 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.920 I wonder if I would worship him differently today. 00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:18.980 I wonder if I understood who he is and what he does 00:12:18.980 --> 00:12:20.740 and what he holds in his hands 00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:23.540 and he contains everything and maintains everything 00:12:23.540 --> 00:12:25.220 and he continues to pursue me. 00:12:25.220 --> 00:12:26.960 I wonder if I would prepare 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.540 for worship differently. 00:12:32.180 --> 00:12:35.200 The people in the chapter says they prepared for three days 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.460 and sometimes I have a hard time preparing for five minutes 00:12:38.460 --> 00:12:41.660 before I come to church. 00:12:42.820 --> 00:12:46.440 I wonder if I understood God and his desire, 00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:50.759 if I would think about community differently. 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.419 You know, in the scripture, 00:12:55.100 --> 00:12:58.200 worship always centers around community 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.580 and the people of God coming together. 00:13:04.299 --> 00:13:06.860 Because worship matters to God and it's important 00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:09.980 and he wants his people to come together to worship him. 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:16.080 I wonder if I understood God's character 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.379 in him pursuing me, 00:13:18.379 --> 00:13:20.659 if I would think about serving differently 00:13:20.659 --> 00:13:21.439 every day, 00:13:22.100 --> 00:13:24.539 serving the people around me 00:13:24.539 --> 00:13:25.379 and caring for them 00:13:25.379 --> 00:13:26.279 and being nice to them 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:26.799 and loving them. 00:13:26.959 --> 00:13:29.279 I wonder if that would really affect 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:30.039 and change me 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:31.699 as I looked at his character 00:13:31.699 --> 00:13:32.819 and what he wants for us. 00:13:36.659 --> 00:13:38.699 I wonder if I'm on this journey, 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:41.719 if I would love better 00:13:41.719 --> 00:13:45.839 and differently the people around me. 00:13:47.299 --> 00:13:48.939 Realizing that it's a holy God 00:13:48.940 --> 00:13:51.340 who's called me to worship him 00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:53.560 and that in that, 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:55.660 it changes everything. 00:13:57.860 --> 00:14:00.300 Our prayer is in this first step 00:14:00.300 --> 00:14:02.860 in this worship process for us as a church 00:14:02.860 --> 00:14:06.840 that we begin to see God differently 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:09.960 and that we would leave this time 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:11.560 asking questions like, 00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:12.360 okay, 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:15.639 I realize that I probably 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:18.460 am not doing too well in this area. 00:14:20.539 --> 00:14:22.600 What's the next baby step you want me to take? 00:14:25.460 --> 00:14:27.080 What's the next step towards you, God? 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:28.200 What do you want me to do? 00:14:28.220 --> 00:14:30.000 What do you want me to surrender to you? 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:31.259 But what's the next thing you want me to do? 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.360 How does my worship change 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:36.139 when I leave here today? 00:14:36.139 --> 00:14:40.480 How does knowing that you're pursuing me 00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:41.720 continually 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.480 and that how I respond to that 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.279 makes a difference? 00:14:48.539 --> 00:14:49.059 What do you want me to do? 00:14:49.059 --> 00:14:49.539 What do you want me to do? 00:14:49.539 --> 00:14:50.059 What do you want me to do? 00:14:50.059 --> 00:14:51.059 What do you want me to do? 00:14:51.059 --> 00:14:52.059 What do you want me to do? 00:14:52.059 --> 00:14:53.059 What do you want me to do? 00:14:53.059 --> 00:14:55.279 Would we worship God differently 00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:59.120 if we truly understood these things? 00:15:00.779 --> 00:15:04.000 Every day, God is calling us as a church. 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.559 Every day, God is calling you 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:08.659 as his children. 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:11.460 He's crying out, 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:13.320 worship me. 00:15:14.220 --> 00:15:15.240 It's what I made you for. 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:17.820 It's the only way you're going to have success. 00:15:18.019 --> 00:15:19.580 It's the only way you're going to feel my pleasure. 00:15:19.700 --> 00:15:20.940 It's the only way you're going to feel joy. 00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:22.440 It's the only way that you're going to be 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:24.299 the person that I've called you to be. 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:25.179 Worship me. 00:15:25.940 --> 00:15:27.000 All these other things, 00:15:27.100 --> 00:15:28.100 all these other idols, 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:29.360 they're going to turn you. 00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:30.220 They're going to change you. 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:31.440 They're going to make you think differently. 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:32.500 They're going to 00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:34.259 pervert 00:15:34.259 --> 00:15:36.320 how I made you. 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:41.899 Worship me, 00:15:42.980 --> 00:15:43.399 God, 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:45.200 at the mountain. 00:15:47.259 --> 00:15:48.700 Father, we just thank you for this day. 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:49.799 We thank you for this passage. 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:51.679 We thank you that we can look back 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:53.600 3,500 years 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:56.120 and we realize that you are the same. 00:15:59.019 --> 00:16:00.720 Father, we thank you that we can look back 00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:02.100 and we see your greatness 00:16:02.100 --> 00:16:02.899 and your power 00:16:02.899 --> 00:16:04.399 and that you're the one who initiates. 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:05.540 You're the one that frees us 00:16:05.540 --> 00:16:06.300 from our bondage, 00:16:06.340 --> 00:16:07.120 from our addictions, 00:16:07.779 --> 00:16:08.740 from our hurts, 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:09.779 and from our pain. 00:16:10.460 --> 00:16:11.500 Only you can do that. 00:16:11.540 --> 00:16:13.220 We can try to do self-help things, 00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:14.160 but we realize that 00:16:14.160 --> 00:16:16.360 we were created for you. 00:16:18.180 --> 00:16:19.440 Father, I realize there's some of us 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:20.080 in here right now 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:21.940 that never even thought of worshiping you. 00:16:22.540 --> 00:16:24.620 We just think of worshiping us. 00:16:24.620 --> 00:16:26.960 I pray, Lord, 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:28.519 that you would speak to us 00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:29.159 in this time. 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:31.940 Help us to surrender 00:16:31.940 --> 00:16:33.679 these idols, 00:16:33.940 --> 00:16:35.360 these precious things 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:36.259 we hold on to, 00:16:36.340 --> 00:16:37.539 these things that turn us 00:16:37.539 --> 00:16:38.519 and change us. 00:16:40.419 --> 00:16:41.919 And help us to trust you. 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:44.679 Father, I realize 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:45.480 there's some of us in here 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:46.500 who have been worshiping you 00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:47.060 for a while, 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:48.899 but it's been 400 years 00:16:48.899 --> 00:16:51.759 or 40 years 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:54.919 or four days 00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:56.100 or four hours 00:16:56.100 --> 00:16:57.340 or four minutes 00:16:57.340 --> 00:16:58.199 that we've forgotten 00:16:58.199 --> 00:17:00.139 why we even are here 00:17:00.139 --> 00:17:01.919 and who you are. 00:17:03.699 --> 00:17:05.000 Lord, we know you're the God 00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:05.940 of second chances. 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:07.279 You're the God of do-overs. 00:17:08.259 --> 00:17:09.460 And we come to you 00:17:09.460 --> 00:17:11.420 and we just surrender our lives 00:17:11.420 --> 00:17:12.279 and we just confess 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:14.079 and repent 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:16.859 of our self-sufficiency 00:17:16.859 --> 00:17:18.859 and our desire 00:17:18.859 --> 00:17:19.679 to worship 00:17:19.679 --> 00:17:21.099 something else. 00:17:22.619 --> 00:17:23.240 And we know 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:24.079 that you hear us 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:25.000 and so we just give 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:26.139 these things to you 00:17:26.139 --> 00:17:28.240 and pray that you would 00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:29.119 show us what it means 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:29.919 to worship you. 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:32.979 Help us to be different. 00:17:34.479 --> 00:17:35.479 Father, don't let us 00:17:35.479 --> 00:17:36.319 come to the mountain 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:37.339 and meet you 00:17:37.339 --> 00:17:39.339 and walk away 00:17:39.339 --> 00:17:40.659 with the hearts 00:17:40.659 --> 00:17:41.479 the same way 00:17:41.479 --> 00:17:41.879 that they were 00:17:41.879 --> 00:17:42.519 when we came. 00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:45.819 Lord, change our hearts 00:17:45.819 --> 00:17:48.659 help us to fall 00:17:48.659 --> 00:17:49.759 more in love with you 00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:50.639 and to seek you 00:17:50.639 --> 00:17:53.200 and to worship you. 00:17:54.700 --> 00:17:55.559 We love you. 00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:57.339 Amen.
