The Grove 10 Years – Week 4

Key Points

Intentional worship flows from a heart that gives Jesus first place in everything.

1. 01 See Jesus for who He is — He is the image of the invisible God, and all things in heaven and on earth were created through Him and for Him.
2. 02 Because Jesus holds all things together, our circumstances may be unstable but He never is, so fear must not sit on the throne of our hearts.
3. 03 Give Jesus first place — He is the head of the body, the Church, which means worship begins with surrender rather than preference.
4. 04 Jesus is the beginning and the firstborn from the dead, so He must have first place in everything, not merely a place we have crammed Him into.
5. 05 Worship Jesus for what He has done — in Him all the fullness of God dwells, and He made peace through the blood of His Cross.

Discussion Questions

1. 01 The sermon said you can sing every word to every song and still miss the heart of worship. Where have you noticed the gap between singing worship and living worship in your own week?
2. 02 Colossians 1:16 says all things were created through Him and for Him. What would change in your schedule, your work, or your relationships if you really lived as though your life exists for Jesus?
3. 03 We tend to compartmentalize life into church life, work life, private life, and social life. Which compartment is hardest for you to hand over to Christ, and why?
4. 04 The message warned that idolatry is often loving a good thing in the place that belongs only to Jesus. What good thing is most likely to take first place in your heart, and how would you know when it has?
5. 05 Verse 20 says peace was made through the blood of His Cross. How does remembering the cost of that peace change the way you come to worship on a Sunday morning?
