1. "Worship is a lifestyle is in everything we do. We do our job as worship because God gave us the skills. God gave us the ability God gave us the opportunity and us actually doing our job is worship to the Lord. There is no separation between sacred and secular as somebody wants has tried to tell us, you know. Here's all the sacred stuff, but we that's all secular so we don't want to be part of that because something might jump on us and all this kind of stuff. Wait a minute. We have the greater one inside of us." [01:16] (35 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
2. "Jesus said the enemy comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Now, see, I would have put them in a different order. I say kill, destroy, or steal, destroy, and kill, but he put steal, kill, and destroy. He wants to kill us. He wants to steal from us. Anything he can do to stop us. But I love Jesus didn't stop there. He said, but I have come that you might have life. Oh, that's great. But he said, and have life more abundantly. Amen? Amen."

3. "We are made in the image of God. And Jesus came to earth, died, and then sent the Holy Spirit. And God's spirit. The spirit of God lives inside of every believer. We have access to the spirit of God. Jesus did not do one thing on earth just as God. He did it as a man filled with the Holy Spirit to be our example. Come on. We're living well below our capabilities. That's not what this sermon is about, but I just felt like I needed to say that. We are not powerless."

4. "We are representatives of the greatest kingdom that ever existed and has existed forever. We are representative. We are Christ's ambassadors. In other words, we can stand and we can declare what we want to see. We don't have to get up there and start fighting devils ourselves. We don't have to get into a tussle. Listen, the Satan is... He's your enemy, but he's no match for you. Again, I'm off my subject, but I just feel like I need to go here. He has... And we've given him way too much credit."

5. "He is a created being. He is not omnipresent. In other words, he's not everywhere. He's not everywhere all at the same time. He's not omniscient. He doesn't know everything. He's not omnipotent. In other words, he doesn't have all power. Only God has those three attributes. Devil does not. He is a created being that was cast out of heaven. We're going to talk in a minute a bit about what he did in heaven. But he has fooled you. Last week, remember, I wore the masquerade mask. He has fooled you to thinking he has the power over you."

6. "This is how we worship God is we let the glory of God shine through us. We show the glory of God everywhere we go in everything we do. We show it just through our attitudes, through our faith, through our faithfulness, but also through our skills and through our gifts. There are reasons why you have giftings and you have skill sets. You have... I mean, Andrea, when you cut my wife's hair, you are so skillful. She comes out of there. I don't know how she gets prettier, but she comes out of there prettier. That's an anointing. That's the glory of God being shown." [24:18] (44 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
7. "We are made to worship God with our life. That's why the enemy hates you. He had a great job, and he got too full of himself. How many of you know that you can get too full of yourself too? Scripture says, don't think more highly of yourself than you ought. It doesn't say don't think highly of yourself. It says don't think more highly than you ought. We ought to think highly of ourselves because of who we are. Okay? Because we are children of the most high God. Come on, somebody." [24:55] (34 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
8. "We worship God because as you open yourself up to worship God, you cannot praise somebody at the same time that you're hitting them in the face and not mean it. Okay, you can say, oh, praise you, praise you, praise you, but you don't mean it. But you can't open your heart to somebody and praise them or worship them without opening up and opening yourself up. It's like being in love. You cannot experience the fullness of love until you open yourself up and you make yourself susceptible to be hurt."

9. "When we worship God, it's not all about us, you know, standing here, oh, it's putting ourself in the place of honoring him. Worship is honor him. Honor him. So let's go to the first reference of worship in the New Testament. Matthew chapter 2, verses 1 through 2. Now, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem. Again, these aren't born again believers. They're not Jews. They're wise men from the east, saying, where is he who is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him."

10. "Every one of us are God's crowning achievement, when he created the world, every day for five days, he looked at things and he said, oh that's good, oh yeah, he put the light in the sky, that's good, made the animals, that's good, made the trees, that's good, made the oceans, oh that's good, mountains, everything, everything we see, he looked at and he said, that's good, but on day number six, when he got his hands dirty, and he reached down in the dirt, and he formed us from the dirt, and then he put his mouth against our nostrils, and breathed his spirit into us, and we became a living being, he said, that's very good, oh I outdid myself there, come on, you're God's crowning achievement."
