Why Is God “Worthy” Of Our Worship?
by Bryan Gibson
So many reasons given in Scripture—here are just a few to help us offer Him the sincere worship He desires.
Because He is “holy,” and because He “lives forever and ever” (Rev. 4:8-10).
Because of the glory “due His name” (1 Chronicles 16:29).
Because “He is good,” and because “His mercy endures forever” (2 Chronicles 7:3).
Because of His “lovingkindness” and His “truth” (Psalms 138:1-2).
Because “He spoke” this vast creation into existence (Psalms 33:8-9).
“You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created” (Rev. 4:11).
As the song says, “He tinted skies with heavenly hue and framed the worlds with His great might.”
Because He “daily loads us with benefits” (Psalms 68:19, also Psalms 116:12).
Because He has “blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” (Eph. 1:3).
Because “He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand” (Psalms 95:6-7).
Because we are “fearfully and wonderfully made,” just one example of His “marvelous” works (Psalms 139:14).
Because “His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven” (Psalms 148:13).
Because of His marvelous plan to deliver us from the slavery of sin (Romans 6:17), and the love, grace, and mercy behind that plan.
Because of the victory over death we can have through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57).
Because of the depth of the riches both of His wisdom and knowledge (Romans 11:33-36).
Because He alone is wise (1 Timothy 1:17).
Because He is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords (1 Timothy 6:15).
Because the Lamb of God was slain for us (Revelation 5:9-12).
Because we have nothing we didn’t receive from Him (1 Corinthians 4:7).

Maximizing Our Influence
by Bryan Gibson
“Let no one seek his own, but each the other’s well-being” (1 Corinthians 10:24).
“Just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” (1 Corinthians 10:33).
“Always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all” (1 Thessalonians 5:15).
And so this is my prayer…
God, please help me to do the least harm and the most good, for the most people.
Help me to keep doors open as long as possible to save others.
Help me to maximize my influence with the maximum amount of people.
Specifically, help me in my general demeanor to be as approachable as possible (2 Timothy 2:24-26).
To preserve my influence to save others, help me avoid activities with even an appearance of wrong (2 Corinthians 8:16-21).
And please help me to not be so forceful in my opinions, political or otherwise, that I close a door to teaching others the gospel (Colossians 4:5-6; Romans 12:16).

The Prattmont Church of Christ is just what the name suggests, a church that belongs to Christ. We are not a denomination; we are simply a group of Christians trying very hard to practice the teachings of our Head, Jesus Christ. The New Testament offers a complete pattern for what each local church should be like—its organization, its worship, its work, etc. We are committed to following that pattern. We cordially invite you to attend our services. We would also welcome any comments or questions about this bulletin.
