Making Praise Come Alive

Psalm 95
Regardless of worship style, these four principles are to be considered:

Accept, Don't Neglect God's Invitation 
Verses 1,2,6
-Come
Set aside, gather together, worship Him
-US
Corporate worship with other believers

Participate, Don't Just Watch
Sing
Thanksgiving
Praise
Bow down
Kneel

God is the audience of worship and praise
This not a feeling
It is you givintg

Focus on God, Don't Focus on Yourself
Centered on God and who He is
Not about you or me, our feelings, our needs
Know He is God - He is Holy!

Stop, Don't Harden Your Heart
God will turn His back on us if we do.
Exodus 17 think on the Jews, complaining - they failed the test!
If we grumble and complain, we miss the point of being transformed!
