  Worship is one gift given to mankind that allows him to connect up with the divine presence of God, Worship allows us access to Him and his presence. Most people want to focus on what worship is and isn’t, today our focus is to look at the types of worship. Worship comes in so many forms and we not looking at which one is correct but we are looking at the various types 1.         Vain worship “ But in vain do they worship me, teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men ”.   Mark 7:7. Vain according to the Oxford Dictionary says use someone’s name in a way that shows a lack of respect for example “ take someone's name in vain ”. It’s easy to come to a place where we no longer reverence or honour the name of God and we do all we do professing that we are worshipping God and we don’t even have any idea of what we are doing. It’s easy to worship God and not mean it, your heart and mind are not in it but your body is present and the words that come out of yo

God is not just a push over, a worship thirsty God, holding a three ponged fork growing fat from the worship and if we don’t worship Him he dies of thirst, God isn’t the God portrayed in TV with instant everything and quick fix deals and all, the one with unending wrath and anger.   His name is Jehovah King, He Is Lord. ·          The LORD most high is terrible Psalms 66:3 ·            King over all the earth Psalms 47:2 ·          God who sits upon the throne of his holiness Psalms 47:8 My bible tells me “ For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises WITH understanding ”.
