Objective:  Urge people to verify that their worship is legitimate worship.

If we are “worshipping” out of fear, obligation,  a sense of duty to family or community, or even out of a sense of tradition, our worship will fall far short of what it is intended to be.  Jesus asserts that true worshippers will worship God in spirit and in truth.  God is seeking that kind of worshipper!  Let’s explore what that means.  Let’s each examine our lives and practices to ensure that we are true worshippers such as God is seeking.
