Purpose & Significance of Worship
1
Who Is God and Why Do We Worship Him?

1 Chronicles 29:11
Read Psalm 139:1-12
In the first book of the Bible, Genesis, the very first verse says, In the beginning God
. The Bible begins with God. In the very last book of Revelation, the last chapter says, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
In the beginning there was God, and in the end there is God. He is infinite. God exists everywhere (omnipresent), knows everything (omniscient), and has all power and authority (omnipotent). This amazing and awesome God created us in His image. The Creator of the universe created us, so that we could be with Him. What an amazing concept. So what can we do? We can offer Him all our praises and worship the almighty
