Culture and Worship - Reforming Worship

[C. Matthew McMahon]

Sermon for today:

Culture and Worship (Reforming Worship) John 4:1-26
by Dr. C. Matthew McMahon

I've heard this passage preached on a number of times by many different preachers, and there is a certain element I think needs to be brought out in it - "How Culture Affects Worship (even how it affects the Christian religion)." Jesus is very careful to point this out with the Samaritan woman.

Blessings.

Once again, an excellent sermon. I'm listening right now.

Great point: "You cannot have living water without a sense of your guilt"

Wow. I can see an old church of ours in this sermon.

Agree: SOOOOO many are "looking for praise and worship but not the God of worship."
Yes, the National anthem can be emotional...but we should not worship like at a football game, that is not worship. Oh man, you hit the nail on the head: they have been trained to worship thier emotions rather than worshipping God.

Thanks for posting the link

Great message Rev. McMahon! I especially appreciate the direct way you laid out what true Worship is Scripturally: to be a Father seeker by the Spirit and according to the Word and to eschew any trend in modern culture that conflicts with this.

Thanks all - may we be worshippers of the Father instead of bred children of our culture!
