Foundations of Biblical Worship Series – Lesson 1 🙌📖

Welcome to the launch of our new Bible study series, Foundations of Biblical Worship. In this lesson, we begin by exploring the story of Mary anointing Jesus in John 12:1–8, uncovering what true worship really means according to Scripture. Worship is more than a Sunday activity or songs we sing in church—it is a lifestyle, a sacrifice, and a personal encounter with Jesus that transforms us. Through Mary's act of devotion, we learn that genuine worship is not centered on methods, styles, or performances; it is centered on Jesus Christ. True worship changes us, costs us something, and continues to sustain us long after the service ends. 📖 Scripture Focus: John 12:1–8 Key Takeaways: • Worship is sacrificial – True worship costs something and produces transformation in our lives. • Worship brings change – You may attend church and remain the same, but you cannot truly encounter Jesus and remain unchanged. • Worship is significant – The purpose of worship is to exalt Christ above everything else. • Worship is not about methods or style – It is about the presence and person of Jesus. • Worship is sustaining – A genuine encounter with God strengthens and carries us through difficult seasons. • Worship extends beyond church walls – It should flow into our homes, workplaces, and everyday lives. • We are called not only to be served but also to serve and participate in worship. What has your worship cost you, and has your worship experience been transforming your daily life? Teacher: Bishop Dr. Bishop Solomon Waigwa
