Worship is something I want to get right. What is the "Heart of Worship" that Matt Redman sings about -- and is it right? God gets dibs on defining the type of worship that delights Him, don't you agree?
Let's explore Scripture to see how the type of worship that is pleasing to God is "more than a song."
In this episode, I discuss:
- Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include:

- How the Colossians were to "emphasize the ministry of teaching and admonition by the singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs"
- Exploring a song Moses wrote at God's request - Deuteronomy 32
- Reading about the purpose of the song through reading in context - Deuteronomy 31
- Making a list of the characteristics of the song - Deuteronomy 31:19-22

- Gaining clarity through the cross-references - Hosea 6:6, Isaiah 1:11-17, 1 Samuel 15:22, Matthew 9:13
- The replacement of the Old Testament sacrificial system - Hebrews 10
