How Did We Turn Worship Into Singing | Tim Dilena

I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter and a new identity... A child of God.. Hallelujah💔💔💔

Worship has gone the wrong way. Worship is also serving, praying, fasting, sharing, giving, reading God’s word, talking up your cross, laying the most important thing to you at His feet, renewing your mind, etc. Good message and thanks for sharing.

I've been saying this for several years now. I'm a musician and I love music but it's become a idol in the church.

Worship is not singing, but our obedience! That's new to me!

I am so grieved that worship leaders are so performance oriented!!! My heart is for true worship! Praying God restores worship!!!! Love this message Pastor Tim!

Worship is obedience! Wow, oh wow. Revelation that I needed and so many churches need as well. Th ank you for this pearl of wisdom.

In the last decades, Worship has become musical entertainment! 😊

Worship is a LIFESTYLE, not only on a Sunday morning, stop blaming worship leaders, let us blame ourselves for looking for worship only on a Sunday morning. To me Sunday morning is a time of celebration with the Saints. My life outside of 2hrs on Sunday morning should be a continual worship to my Father, no matter what I may be going through. We have to stand before God for ourselves, nobody else will be with us. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Glory be to God.

You don't find preaching like this in America's churches today. Preach it, Pastor!

I have been questioning for many years as to why there are stages in a church; why do we need to elevate the choir and the minister. Why not just a pulpit for the Word of God to be preached from the minister, pastor, etc. ? Why drum sets and guitars and giant speakers on a stage and bowls of ear plugs on tables in the foyers? Why the need for laser lights and smoke machines? When did a church service become a rock concert and why do we feel the need to be entertained instead of being given food for thought through the Word of God being preached reverently and solemnly? Why is there a book store on the premise or in the foyer selling jewelry, toys, snacks, Bibles, books by "Christian" authors and even by their own minister.? Why is there a coffee shop with donuts, breakfasts and sandwiches being sold in the foyer? Why do people feel freely the okay to eat and drink these items during church service? In His Father's temple, Jesus pushed over tables that had wares, animals, and doves being sold for sacrifices; not outside the walls of the temple but inside the very temple. The place where worship to His Father was taking place. Jesus found this sacrilegious and became very angry, only one of the few times in HIs life He showed anger. Why do our people who call themselves Christians show so very little respect or modesty to our Father in Heaven in their dress and demeanor while attending church service? I see people wearing shorts and tank tops to services; jeans, flip flops, men wearing hats on their heads, short skirts, tight clothings, cleavage showing, why?   One last thing....why do ministers feel they have to entertain their parishioners with jokes to gain and keep their "audience" during worship service? Getting people on the right path to the Lord is serious work. My opinion.

I’m a worshipper in our church and this message just broke me. What a sermon. Jesus you take it all,blessed be the name of the Lord.

Music became worship when we stopped wanting to hear the truth, and wanted to be entertained.

Good Word. Worship has become entertainment in western churches.

I have been heartbroken of how much of a show church services have become and have been asking God to renew my joy and depth in Him, and there have been so many spiritual attacks on my household! Last night as I layed in bed I prayed for every person in my household and when I got up this morning, I saw that my mother had sent me this link. As I listened to it, I was fed what my heart has been YEARNING for about true worship! He is TRULY WORTHY OF ALL PRAISE!! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!!

Yes Pastor, the biggest drawback for the modern church is the pursuit of comfort…

I always kinda felt there was something wrong with alot of contemporary Christian music and now we're seeing many beloved artist go the way of the world. I don't see Jesus anywhere in the Bible teaching his disciples to go out and have concerts and raise money to go out and have more concerts so maybe, just maybe you'll get a dove award. Things have gone terribly wrong. Pray to not be deceived in these last days.

Preach it brother!! About time someone told what real worship is about. Thank you, Pastor Dilena. Appreciate you and your boldness and obedience.

Please pray for my family and me to have a closer walk with Jesus i want God in my life more and more.

This sermon needs to be played at every church!!

That's probably the most anointed thing I've heard in years. Thanks for teaching what worship is.
