“Worthless Worship" Isaiah 1:10-20

The Key verse: V-13

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your
bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and
proper worship. Rom 12:1

Four parts to this section:

1. The Frustration

· The ritual was about reminding us about our sinfulness: Heb 10:3-4

· God wants more than mere ritual: Micah 6:6-8; lifestyle.

· They were just going through the motions-just noise:

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a
resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 1 Cor 13:1

· God does not want meaningless offerings: Mt. 5:23-24

2. The Burden

· Its all about them: Amos 4:4-5

· Because their hands are dirty, Prayer without ethical change is ineffective:
1 Pet 3:12:; Psalm. 34:15

3. The Solution: Change!

· God has always wanted change: Deut 10:12

· God is about social justice: Ex 22:21-24

· How we relate to other is an expression of our faith: James 1:17

· Future blessing: Titus 3:5

4. The Decision: Obedience

· Listen to how Paul defines the gospel: Rom. 1:5
