True Worship (Oft We Come Together...)

(outline based on Tillit S. Teddlie’s hymn of the same name)

I. Singing, praying, offering

    A. Note the frequency: “Oft,” not “occasionally” or even “when convenient” (Hebrews 10:24-25)
    B. Singing and praying (1 Corinthians 14:15; Acts 16:25)

      1. Singing (Matthew 26:30; Colossians 3:16; Hebrews 13:15)
      2. Praying (Luke 5:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:17)

    C. The collection (1 Corinthians 16:1-2; 2 Corinthians 9:6-7; Hebrews 13:16)

* While preaching, I realized I omitted comments about “All that Thou hast said” from the second verse of the song in my outline. You may insert some comments before point II related to the importance of Jesus’ words with Scripture references such as John 12:48, 2 Timothy 3:16, and similar.

II. The bread

    A. Represents His body (Matthew 26:26)
    B. “Do this in remembrance of Me” (Luke 22:19)

III. The cup

    A. Represents His blood shed on the cross – “for the remission of sins” (Matthew 26:27-28)
    B. These things are done “with one accord”

      1. Steadfast observance (Acts 2:42; 20:7)
      2. A time of fellowship (1 Corinthians 10:16)
