God's sovereignty in worship underscores that He dictates the nature and means by which He is to be worshipped, as outlined in Scripture.
God's sovereignty is a foundational concept in worship because it establishes that He alone determines how He should be approached and worshipped. In the sermon, the preacher notes that worship must be conducted within the parameters set by God’s revelation. His sovereignty is affirmed in the command that true worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth—adhering to both the significance of the heart (spirit) and the revealed truth of Scripture. This understanding helps ensure that worship is not based on human invention or tradition, but rather rooted in the divine nature and expectations set forth by God.
