The sermon titled "True Worship" by Greg Elmquist focuses on the doctrine of worship in spirit and truth, as articulated by Jesus to the Samaritan woman in John 4. Elmquist emphasizes the importance of worshiping God authentically, grounded in Scripture and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit. He discusses Acts 18, highlighting Paul's challenges in upholding true worship amidst accusations of violating the Law, noting Paul's compromises when he took a Nazarite vow to appease the Judaizers. Elmquist argues that true worship is an act of grace and must be informed by the entirety of Scripture, thereby underlining its practical significance for believers who may waver in their commitment to the Gospel. The sermon is a call to re-evaluate the motivations behind worship practices and to remain steadfast in the truth of God's Word, despite societal pressures and misunderstandings.
“True worship is a work of grace in the heart. Only those who know Christ and have the Holy Spirit can know anything about it.”
“We worship God according to the revealed truth of His word. His word is full and complete.”
“The hour is coming and now is, when the true worshipper shall worship God in spirit and in truth.”
“We are the true circumcision, which worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.”
