  • Yield to worship
  • Synagogue was part of the temple
  • Temple lost authority in lives of Jews
  • Synagogue used to teach and over time taught more on traditions than worship and understanding who God is
  • Teaching with out the Spirit of God leads to false teachings in the synagogue
  • Teaching and performance, based on Erdesheim, replaced worship
  • Rev 2:9 and 3:9 the synagogue of Satan contradicts the worship of God
  • 1 Cor 6:19 your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit will teach you
  • Is God in the teachings you have learned?
  • Worship is when you are in God and God is in you

  • Acts 7:42
  • Idolatry, creeps in when you worship without truth
  • Believe all things written in the word of God
  • No belief, no Christ, not real or true worship
  • Worship God in Spirit and put no confidence in the flesh
  • Have to be present to worship
  • What’s in your life and heart is your life committed to God
  • Revelations 14:9-11 those that worship the beast based on their lifestyle
  • Worship comes after you can be called out and admit your faults like Samaritan woman at the well in John 4
  • Worship not what you see but how you live

They Knew Not the Resurrection

  • Psalms 16
  • Matthew 17:9
  • Jesus did not have to be called to rise from the death, Lazarus had to be called by name by Jesus
