I've said this for decades. We are also to teach for free. Not make money off it. Tithes are to be spent in certain ways, Biblically. Most of it today goes into their pockets. Not doing as should with it. They take way to many vacations around the world. Planes. Cars. Fancy clothes. Million dollar homes. So on... It is to cover their bills, house, clothing, 😢 food, church building, elderly, poor, not all this extravagant stuff. . . They should be living no fifteenth than the average church. Not getting rich of tithes.
@@StillYHWHs I personally don't think tithing is biblical I think it's another way to gather money. Granted we should support the the body and we should do it joyfully.
@lovingjesus5184 some of us were convicted to tithe. Plus I've heard too many testimonies from friends who didn't tithe, then did, and their lives changed significantly. It's hard to not see Tithing is right. But it's nice to pamper our flesh with that 10%.
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!
way back we had what was dubbed christain aerobics as the "worship" team did all these strange moves. I don't NEED to be entertained at church...so I don't go anymore, too many solo's for the choir to spotlight talents, and the band has their little rifts to insert. whatever NOT my thing at all and for me doesn't point the focus on my saviour

Very good message but the sad point is, is that at the end they went back to the same kind of worship. Microphones amps guitars and a worship team. That is being a hypocrite, so sad. Read 1 corinthians 14 on how a fellowship gathering is to be moved and led by the HOLY SPIRIT.

@@kerussonikao2812 You missed the message. Those mics and guitars and the songs we sing from our hearts to the Lord are still worship. This is not an attack on worship songs. Guitar or no guitar is not what counts. It is the anointing. Are people just going though the motions or are they singing the love in their hearts. When we gather and sing in his name he sings back over us. Singing is a huge important part of worship. It is that expression of love that causes us to obey the lord in all other areas. He said he did not need to teach on sexual immorality over the women who was living in sin. He woudl have needed to preach on worship he said. It is about the love. Matthew 22 34 to 40 explains. It is the greatest commandment. It is about worshipping the Lord first with our hearts so we can be anointed to worship with our soul and finally our minds once the other 2 are made right. We can not love others as Jesus loves them without Jesus in us. Jesus said if we love him we will obey him. He said if we obey him he will manifest himself into us in John 14. We need to keep the worship songs but make sure they are love songs to God and that it is not just a ritual. For some it is but for others like myself it is about Jesus.
But we do sing to the Lord. Music was created and designed by God for His glory. It's this ungodly, demonic music most churches play in this modern Christianity we see today. We sing Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual songs....Ephesians 5 and Colossians 3.
Ephesians 5v19 Tell us to sing and make melody in your heart to the Lord and Colossian 3 v 16 this is in the new testament not the old. We live under the new testament Christ nailed the old law to the cross , it is Finnish he said it But ppl will argue with God but can't win
It's new to you because He's misinterpreted the scriptures. These so called Pastors just want your money. Be careful. The only thing Jesus is asking Romans 12:1 in the Bible, which says, “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”
@marckemp9955 You lie. I've been in enough and I've seen enough here on YT to know what I say is TRUTH. You might have your head in the sand about the Great Falling Away we are experiencing right now...BUT I DON'T.
I realised this a while ago. Music is taking people away from God but because its got God or Jesus they think its holy and what God reaches when He wants obedience... which is fine out of love
Yes, it is obedience. I pray the professed are awakened to the truth of this obedience to which the Spirit leads us into Ezek 36:26-27 according to our adoption and the New Covenant as a Covenant member Jeremiah 31:31-33. God's Law. Examples like His Sabbaths: weekly (Saturday), and 7 yearly feasts, etc. These are signs to be on your hand and forehead and law coming from our mouth in Scripture, yet many have been trained to dismiss it for man-made traditions...like the Pharisees.
Done. 🙏 God bless you and lavious you with His presence. John 12: 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
Praying for you alongside many believers for your faith to be strengthened in Him. To know Him intimately and be in close communion with His Spirit at all times. He will lead and guide you to take a step of faith however small it may seem - "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." James 4:8
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.
Lord Jesus it's with your breath in my lungs I want to worship you daily, not just on a Sunday morning,🙏 Father God help me to stay down at your feet, in Jesus mighty name Amen
Ok, but in basically every church I've attended ( have moved a lot, home-address-wise), across several different denominations and associations or non, our pastor &/or "worship team leader" HAS said this. Also, we read it in our Bibles. I'm getting a little tired of what maybe some mega church or popular writer or artist or etc. does or says or doesn't, being ascribed to "the American church" at large, at least, those who embrace contemporary music ( none of ours have had rock/hard rock music or anything extreme or clearly sensational etc. ). It seems to me that the VAST majority of those in churches who stick by the inerrancy of Scripture, the fundamental doctrines and esp. those who have adopted (most of the time) going through the Bible, ch. by ch., vrs. by vrs when preaching/teaching, and who aren't brand new Christians/new to the Bible, DO know and grow in all the ways we are to be worshipping God. Who may, yes, classify singing praises as it, right or wrong, but who definitely know that our whole lives are to be, among other things one could Biblically say on this topic.
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!!
Wow! this is such a much needed teaching in the Church today! We don't see miracles or the gifts of the Spirit operating in church services exactly because there is no worship! May God forgive us and have mercy on us!
Wow, this preaching is hitting me hard in the heart. I was wasting time watching a movie at 2am and decided to watch youtube and this preach came about. Wow, Thank you Lord Jesus.
Do you think that God is displeased with worship in song? I can’t imagine what could be wrong with worshipping God in song, in dance, in tears..the purity of your heart is what really matters. God created all things including music. Sometimes I struggle with the words for my love ve so I sit quietly just loving him, thanking him but when I sing to him all of a sudden words flow out in adoration, humility, thankfulness and love and kindness, I then feel a connection with God that stays with me all day with an urgency to stay with Him, watching my words, my eyes and thoughts and I’m a better servant, daughter, wife and mother. I could care less about smoke machines, or lights I don’t even need an instrument, but just sitting on my back porch opening my mouth and heart to sing to the Lord has been very effective for me. I was saved through song and I’m sure God uses all things to save his children. Praise His Holy Name. 🙏🏽
And don't let them take it from you. There are those of us who keep a song all day long and entwine it with our worship. If none of these guys have experienced that, perhaps that is on them. All I know is, God will perfect that which concerns me as long as my daily offering is a contrite heart and a will to let the Spirit change me.
He never said that. He said singing is not worship! We all love singing. Do we all love laying down our lives in obedience when it hurts. That’s Worship. Reading the Word, that’s worship. Giving up our comforts for others, our time, our money, our rights, that’s worship, and if you can do it while singing his praises, that’s worship! Karaoke, that’s not worship! That’s what he was saying.Psalm 51:17
WOW! I have struggled lately with “worship and praise” at our church…I feel like it’s more of a show. But this…clear it all up. I’ve grown up in church and never heard it preached like this. Thank you Pastor Delana. David Wilkerson has brought more growth to my relationship with Yeshua than all the preachers I’ve sat under! What a blessing to see the fire has not left TSC!
However it wouldn't be like this unless the people want it. Hopefully more and more people will wake up. I attended a church once that played the same worship song over n over again it was quite mesmerising.
This is the first time I am listening to a message from Times Square Church....for some reason, i decided to watch this video. I was praying for a stategy to remain in Christ and deepen my r/ship with him.....this just answers all of my questions....thank you gor this Pastor...thank you
This man of God is truly filled with the Spirit. I know that because this sermon is so much spirit filled. Am gonna listen to all of his sermons. He has blessed me ❤❤❤
The one who did not prostrate himself and fall on his face didn't worship as Jesus taught. Such person just made up some ritual and deviated by following baseless innovation in acts of worship.
This message is a confirmation of the reason I've been waking up between 2-5 am and I'm frustrated because I'm awake and can't fall back to sleep. I saw another video explaining why. I'm to pray. I'm to be obedient to the Holy Spirit. Early in the morning will I seek you....the obedience and sacrifice of worship. Thank you for sharing Jamie.
Same here. Now I realize that the Holy Spirit is waking me up in the night to pray for this broken world, for family, friends, neighbors, leaders, countries etc.
Has been on my mind a long time. We have been singing about Him, about us, but not to him...Too many places it has become a talent show...We all need to hear this...
Great Point!!! Music has never been, is not now, or shall ever be worship. Music is Praise!!! The ultimate definition of worship is Obedience!!! We worship when hearing the Word of God being preached or taught in a biblical way.
In the 80's when it was becoming what it is today God showed me a lot about it. I was in a very, very long fast when this came. Praise and glorifying God is speaking of Him and the things He's done for us. Honor and worship is obedience. The good works that are a fruit of His Spirit, our change of heart, glorifies Him to others. Careful though, human compassion isn't what He wants, He wants Godly compassion and not flesh works. If a song fills your heart then sing, but dont go through the motion. That's offensive to our Father and is a strange incense, and when the sons of Aaron offered it, they died.
This is a powerful teaching. But I have come to being able to worship Him in song 🎶 In fact I could only memorise the Word, by singing it! My first life-verse was, ‘Obedience is better than sacrifice.’ The second one was, ‘Do what I ask of you. So not add or take away from it.’ From learning obedience I have learned to have loose-hands over 44 years of following HIM! I humbly share: we sold all we had to follow Him to the mission field. And that included leaving my father, who had a terminal-cancer.. and he sent me off with his blessing. I say again: I humble share this. And now, He has asked me to give up something I have done daily, with 10 Christian gal pals, on line.. it was a struggle, but I FINALLY shared with them, and they blessed me to obey. Also I have just learned that our eldest granddaughter has been conscripted into the Norse Military today! We knew it was coming and have been praying God will use this to His honour & glory. We expect she will be sent for the very north of Norway.. to the Russian Border. I surrender her to Jesus. Amen
This is very Biblical and so profound for believers to get this right about true worship, only God knows how church ended up here on how we view worship. I have been blessed to hear this confirmed message about worship. Worship is a life style, it is everything about our Christian walk, it is not for this hour and that minute etc but a walk of worship... ho God help us to have our minds renewed according to scripture. Bless Pastor Tim for this timely Apostolic message of truth.🎉
If we study we would have never thought that singing in a building was worship, it's not only confirmed in Genesis The apostle Paul clearly mentioned what is true worship but I'm sure you read it before, the problem that we have had is believing only the pastor and not gods word
I am a product of Teen Challenge Midland. To say my life was changed would be an understatement! I am now married 30 years three wonderful spirit filled children. A Bride of Christ! A watchman for the Father over my Church! Engaged in the war against The prince of Rome the deceiver of the evangelical / romanderivedchurch. This is the battle of our times! This is the reason the Father has protected and covered me for these 63 years. I pray a Psalm 91 covering over this great ministry. May the Father through the Blood of Christ Bless you and Keep you Make His face to shine upon you, be Merciful to you, and grant you the Peace of the Lamb. In the name of Yehoshua the Lamb and the Lion all who agree with the Blessing agree Amen! Your Watchman Tango.
@@mrwiggiewoo it isn't about the music. The words that are chosen to be sung in your church are important of course but the whole point is that true worship is complete obedience to God in all things and without reservation. I don't disagree that many churches have turned their praise into performances. I have experienced that myself in the church where I first began to serve the Lord. The rub is that it's easy to get caught up in the foolishness of condemnation over things that are irrelevant. People also get bent out of shape about the altar space. The days of the Tabernacle are long since passed. He dwells within us, we are his temple. We don't require buildings or anything of the like. Music has been a part of worship for all time but, if you aren't in full submission to God, it is empty words and gestures.
@@anfiach Yes, for the most part, I agree! I've been a Christian for 50 years. Not that that makes me an authority on the sybject, but in earlier days of my faith life, we would gather, pray and sing ( ye olde hymns) togther in a church setting, and hear the Bible taught, that was considered a time of worship. Hymn singing was a part of the congergational worship, not the centerpiece. Also, there are different contexts in which we worship- together as a congregation, individually in our lives with God, which of course, centers around love and obedience to God. I listen to and enjoy contemporary Christian music but I don’t neccesarily think it should be called "worship" music. I am partial to a lot of the classic hymns because the focus is more on God and not on our feelings and experiences of him. My point is singing is a part, not the whole, of congregational worship, as is exemplified in the Psalms.
@stavros333Could you rephrase yourself so I could understand? I would like to give a reply to what I think you just said but I’m not actually sure what you’re trying to say
I agree with you, i long to hear preacher preach about sin and HELL and about not sinning and not going to hell about me getting my soul right with GOD
Music in the Bible has been used to calm agitated leaders (1 Samuel 16:23), to promote the ways of the Lord (Psalm 40:3), to uplift a people (Ephesians 5:19), to praise the Lord (Psalm 104:33) and to invoke His presence (2 Chronicles 5:13).
We turned worship into singing then into self-worship. It's officially karaoke at God's holy pulpit. In addition, we've made worship all about us. Worship songs with more I's and me's than you and yours are perfect examples of this. The Lord did say people will be lovers of themselves, arrogant, prideful and haters and God, etc in the last days. This is clearly evident in our churches today.
What? When You Say You Love Someone do you say love you or do you profess that love? "I love you," I love you Lord because you first loved ME" "you died for me, and I will worship you" How did any of that become self- serving or self-worship? This is such an asinine thought process to me.
@@Anne-po99 The motive doesn't matter at all. Christ told the Samaritan woman in Jhn 4 that the Father is to be worshiped in truth. Having good motives don't amount to anything if there is no truth involved.
When singers are more concentrated on doing complex runs then just singing this song straight with needed inflection to support the words of worship, it becomes a big show.
Yes.. went to s worship event the other night and this was my thought. That and drum and guitar solos... If that's a musicians offering, do it in your home.
You guys at Times Square Church are so blessed to sit under the teaching of Pastor Tim Dilena. I am beginning to pray for such a pastor and teacher in my little Australian city. 🙏🏼
To me this is a prophetic message, a timely word for our time. A word in the tradition of our late brother David Wilkerson, and diametrically opposed to much shallow 'feeling good' and prosperity preaching. It was a challenge to me also to reflect on my personal life and consider whether it is a life of true worship or whether I have taken back things that I had sacrificed long ago. We live in a time when so much distraction and so many temptations tempt us to opt for a watered down christian life. Thanks you so much, brother, for passing Gods Word on to us and to me.
In short, I used to be a bad boy. I did all sorts of evil deeds🙆🙆🙆🙆😭😭😭😭😭😭 but the Mighty hand of God was just on me. Thank you God for your love. Now, it's 3yrs down the line and I accepted the Lord Jesus as the Lord and Saviour of my life and now I do serve Him on His Alter. Glory be to the Most High. In deed a seed of God dies not.
I LOVE this message. This is it! The Truth. Christianity is repenting of me running my life and giving full control to God Who created and owns me. It is constant submission to Him.
This is my fourth time listening to this message; it is deep revelation for me and It will change my whole attitude about giving my all to God. No more resistance! God help me to walk in this revelation in my daily walk with you.
What? When you can find even one peice of notated music in the Bible, then we can talk. Anytime a song leader turns to self affirmation, or self glorification, the worship of God is lost. I have family members who are song leaders in their churches who's focus is the performance - and it has nothing to do with the style. I'd put John Cooper from Skillet in a cage match against Stephen Furtick any day and my metal loving apologist would dance over him all day long. Look first at the words being said and the heart of those saying it, and then let's talk delivery vehicle.
What a wonderful message. An Undiluted truth. Praise the Lord! However, the background music is causing serious distraction. During a sermon, there should be quietness everywhere. Thank you pastor.
We have been worshipping the activities and not the one who is worthy, the one who died for us to connect us back to the Almighty God. What a truth we need to believe... Thank u pastor
The Law of First Use or First Mention is like the cornerstone of the building. Worship is used in unexpected place in scripture. Abraham Isaac Genesis 22 story is first where worship was first mentioned
While in college getting music degree I had to write my philosophy of worship (apparently alot of churches want you to have this in your resumé portfolio). My whole point in my “philosophy of worship” was that musical worship was a drop in the bucket of worship to our God and that singing & music is essentially empty worship if our daily lives are not submitted to Him and His glory. Until our lives are truly live daily for God, our hearts will not connect and interact with the musical praise & worship. We may not need to fervently emotionally express during musical worship but I can see the attitude of true worship on the face of believers in the crowd who truly have good fruit & live for God in their daily lives.
True worshipers will worship God in spirit and in truth, not music it has been added n added till it stinks only our Lord knows how he feels this pain of listening to such chaotic nonstop music , may the Lord forgive those who teach n sponsor these evil practices in churches, Jesus did not play any instruments during 5he last supper nor did he tell to do so may our eyes be opened n worship God seriously n not by showing off our capabilities n going off tangent by music
Music, singing are EXTENSIONS of worship, i don't need music to worship, it's another avenue of worship...And as a Worship drummer for 50+ years, its a great way to worship...
Totally nailed it! Rom 12:1 worship and submission to God are synonymous. On a side note, I find the music in the background distracting. In my mind (and I may be way off), it is used to create a mood which feeds the idea that music and mood are needed for worship. Love the message though. It is ALL God's.
My thoughts exactly. I’m not bashing the pianist but in that particular setting, too many notes were being played over top of the minister making his final points (the application), our brain will tune one or the other out. 😬
A lot of times when I study mathematics it gives me a certain reverence for God. God is in a lot of places, not just song. But of course he's there too. Lot of good church songs out there.
The entire service of a church on Sunday morning is worship. The singing is part of the teaching, and the teaching is part of the worship. And all of it is meant to bring glory to God.
I’ve given ALL of me for over 50 years & have NEVER regretted it!!! All I’ve surrendered the Lord has replaced with victory & beauty !!! Praise Almighty God & His Son Jesus myLord & Savior!!!

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 have often wondered the same things as you have said. And. Why the need for the speakers to be turned on so loudly, that I, even I, have to take my hearing aids out so that the ears are not hurt and my hearing become worse. Even then. I sometimes have to put my hands over my ears to keep from being blasted. The laser lights, etc. result in my feeling like I am at a rock concert. I could say more, but I will stop.
Those organizations (not THE CHURCH) are trying to appeal to the world. Where is their faith in the power of The Word of God? Teach truth and God will change their lives. Avoid truth (to be liked and to avoid offense) and you will fill a building with false converts. The people will not bear GOOD fruit. This happens when the pulpit is being occupied by men who have no real faith in God to provide.
Amen! Offering of our life to God our will, to him,will you trust God in all things! Submitting our self? We worship him by trust. It is impossible to please God Without "FAITH"!
The Lord stirred this discomfort in my spirit over 10 years ago and I wrote a book to speak into it. Glad Im not the only one feeling the loss of understanding, reverence and as result the power that should be resident in true worship.
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.
I've said this for decades. We are also to teach for free.

Worship is not singing, but our obedience! That's new to me!
It's a Pearl, don't loose it.
But we do sing to the Lord. Music was created and designed by God for His glory.
It's this ungodly, demonic music most churches play in this modern Christianity we see today.

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.
Obedience and service!👏👍😊
I realised this a while ago. Music is taking people away from God but because its got God or Jesus they think its holy and what God reaches when He wants obedience... which is fine out of love
Wow, Amen!!! Exactly worship = obedience!!!!!!
Yes, it is obedience. I pray the professed are awakened to the truth of this obedience to which the Spirit leads us into Ezek 36:26-27 according to our adoption and the New Covenant as a Covenant member Jeremiah 31:31-33. God's Law. Examples like His Sabbaths: weekly (Saturday), and 7 yearly feasts, etc. These are signs to be on your hand and forehead and law coming from our mouth in Scripture, yet many have been trained to dismiss it for man-made traditions...like the Pharisees.
In everything you do glorify God!
Please pray for my family and me to have a closer walk with Jesus i want God in my life more and more.
Amen in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I pray.
Done. 🙏 God bless you and lavious you with His presence.
John 12: 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
@@jgonzalez101 and it will be your portion. the lord says draw close to me and i will draw closer, he says seek me and you will surly find me. Amen.
Praying for you alongside many believers for your faith to be strengthened in Him. To know Him intimately and be in close communion with His Spirit at all times. He will lead and guide you to take a step of faith however small it may seem - "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." James 4:8
Start reading your Bible and obeying His commandments
This sermon needs to be played at every church!!
Amen
Why?
I agree.
Yes Pastor, the biggest drawback for the modern church is the pursuit of comfort…
INDEED . . . . . I find that most LOGICAL
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.
What a great message
Praise the Lord. What a humble way to receive this message. May the Lord use you to open others eyes
CLICHE
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 got it 💯
Lord Jesus it's with your breath in my lungs I want to worship you daily, not just on a Sunday morning,🙏 Father God help me to stay down at your feet, in Jesus mighty name Amen
I don't believe Pastor is "blaming" the Musicians...he's saying what you just said. It is "our whole life" actions...every moment of our life.
Living in God's will is the best way in worshipping him and Glorifying his holy name no more me but more him he said
You got right. Just listen. You wont miss the point.@@Tindaree
There are no words. This teaching was powerful and a blessing.
Preach it brother!! About time someone told what real worship is about. Thank you, Pastor Dilena. Appreciate you and your boldness and obedience.
Amen.
Ok, but in basically every church I've attended ( have moved a lot, home-address-wise), across several different denominations and associations or non, our pastor &/or "worship team leader" HAS said this. Also, we read it in our Bibles. I'm getting a little tired of what maybe some mega church or popular writer or artist or etc. does or says or doesn't, being ascribed to "the American church" at large, at least, those who embrace contemporary music ( none of ours have had rock/hard rock music or anything extreme or clearly sensational etc. ). It seems to me that the VAST majority of those in churches who stick by the inerrancy of Scripture, the fundamental doctrines and esp. those who have adopted (most of the time) going through the Bible, ch. by ch., vrs. by vrs when preaching/teaching, and who aren't brand new Christians/new to the Bible, DO know and grow in all the ways we are to be worshipping God. Who may, yes, classify singing praises as it, right or wrong, but who definitely know that our whole lives are to be, among other things one could Biblically say on this topic.
Thump, Trump, that God Damn Bible
@@AlbertHess-xy7ky May God have mercy on you for that weird comment
In the last decades, Worship has become musical entertainment! 😊
Many progressive churches are into Hip Hop/Rap music.
I gave a thumb up in agreement
OUTSTANDING
That's probably the most anointed thing I've heard in years. Thanks for teaching what worship is.
God has angelic beings surrounding Himself singing and proclaiming His Holiness constantly.
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!!
Especially at “Christian” funerals.
Wow! this is such a much needed teaching in the Church today! We don't see miracles or the gifts of the Spirit operating in church services exactly because there is no worship! May God forgive us and have mercy on us!
Wow, this preaching is hitting me hard in the heart. I was wasting time watching a movie at 2am and decided to watch youtube and this preach came about. Wow, Thank you Lord Jesus.
Do you think that God is displeased with worship in song?
I can’t imagine what could be wrong with worshipping God in song, in dance, in tears..the purity of your heart is what really matters. God created all things including music.
Sometimes I struggle with the words for my love ve so I sit quietly just loving him, thanking him but when I sing to him all of a sudden words flow out in adoration, humility, thankfulness and love and kindness, I then feel a connection with God that stays with me all day with an urgency to stay with Him, watching my words, my eyes and thoughts and I’m a better servant, daughter, wife and mother.
I could care less about smoke machines, or lights I don’t even need an instrument, but just sitting on my back porch opening my mouth and heart to sing to the Lord has been very effective for me. I was saved through song and I’m sure God uses all things to save his children. Praise His Holy Name. 🙏🏽
That is praise
Between you and Christ
Praise is one thing, worship is another.. That's what I got from this message
And don't let them take it from you. There are those of us who keep a song all day long and entwine it with our worship. If none of these guys have experienced that, perhaps that is on them. All I know is, God will perfect that which concerns me as long as my daily offering is a contrite heart and a will to let the Spirit change me.
He never said that. He said singing is not worship! We all love singing. Do we all love laying down our lives in obedience when it hurts. That’s Worship. Reading the Word, that’s worship. Giving up our comforts for others, our time, our money, our rights, that’s worship, and if you can do it while singing his praises, that’s worship!
Karaoke, that’s not worship! That’s what he was saying.Psalm 51:17
I think you missed the point. If he meant it like this, why would they sing during the sermon?
"From Him, through Him and to Him are all things."
Our pastor ends every service saying “Service is over - worship begins!”
WOW! I have struggled lately with “worship and praise” at our church…I feel like it’s more of a show. But this…clear it all up. I’ve grown up in church and never heard it preached like this. Thank you Pastor Delana. David Wilkerson has brought more growth to my relationship with Yeshua than all the preachers I’ve sat under! What a blessing to see the fire has not left TSC!
I agree. No depth, all show. Pride is the worst of all sins.
Victoria, are you by chance Torah observant?
theres a lot of singing and worship going on in heaven so you might have to get used to it
His Name is JESUS.
However it wouldn't be like this unless the people want it. Hopefully more and more people will wake up. I attended a church once that played the same worship song over n over again it was quite mesmerising.
We worship in spirit in truth by speaking in agreement with God's Word
This is the first time I am listening to a message from Times Square Church....for some reason, i decided to watch this video. I was praying for a stategy to remain in Christ and deepen my r/ship with him.....this just answers all of my questions....thank you gor this Pastor...thank you
Dear, please get busy spreading the Gospel of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
GOD richly bless you
@@salvationtimenow7121, please be busy with spreading the Good News of Yeshua The Messiah!
Thank you. Karen! YHWH richly bless you in truth!
This man of God is truly filled with the Spirit. I know that because this sermon is so much spirit filled. Am gonna listen to all of his sermons. He has blessed me ❤❤❤
Yeah right, he’s filled with the Holy Spirit of making loadsa money!
It's time to return to true worship. Thanks for this timely words, Pastor!
One of the best messages I have heard Pastor Tim Delina preach. Thank God He has found a servant of God who is not afraid to speak the Truth.
The one who did not prostrate himself and fall on his face didn't worship as Jesus taught. Such person just made up some ritual and deviated by following baseless innovation in acts of worship.
Yes 'Lord ! So True! Powerful Word! Hallelujah!
This message is a confirmation of the reason I've been waking up between 2-5 am and I'm frustrated because I'm awake and can't fall back to sleep. I saw another video explaining why. I'm to pray. I'm to be obedient to the Holy Spirit. Early in the morning will I seek you....the obedience and sacrifice of worship. Thank you for sharing Jamie.
Same here. Now I realize that the Holy Spirit is waking me up in the night to pray for this broken world, for family, friends, neighbors, leaders, countries etc.
May God help us to worship in obedience and truth.
Has been on my mind a long time. We have been singing about Him, about us, but not to him...Too many places it has become a talent show...We all need to hear this...
Great Point!!! Music has never been, is not now, or shall ever be worship. Music is Praise!!! The ultimate definition of worship is Obedience!!! We worship when hearing the Word of God being preached or taught in a biblical way.
Great sermon, I have been struggling about modern praise "worship" at my church, may our hands be open!
In the 80's when it was becoming what it is today God showed me a lot about it. I was in a very, very long fast when this came.
Praise and glorifying God is speaking of Him and the things He's done for us. Honor and worship is obedience. The good works that are a fruit of His Spirit, our change of heart, glorifies Him to others. Careful though, human compassion isn't what He wants, He wants Godly compassion and not flesh works.
If a song fills your heart then sing, but dont go through the motion. That's offensive to our Father and is a strange incense, and when the sons of Aaron offered it, they died.
The Holy Spirit uses the music to pull people up out of the dark. The devil wants to stop that.
@@theoryofpersonality1420 Hmm...the holy spirit uses music? The devil wants us to stop singing?
@@theoryofpersonality1420 Scripture reference?
Yes! Our hands open, our eyes closed and our brains completely switched off and our wallets … oh f**k!!! Where’s my wallet?
This is the richest message I’ve ever heard! תודה רבה!
Dear lord Jesus I believe please take control of my life I surrender it all to you. Do as you will Amen.
Feel better now?
This is a powerful teaching. But I have come to being able to worship Him in song 🎶 In fact I could only memorise the Word, by singing it! My first life-verse was, ‘Obedience is better than sacrifice.’ The second one was, ‘Do what I ask of you. So not add or take away from it.’ From learning obedience I have learned to have loose-hands over 44 years of following HIM! I humbly share: we sold all we had to follow Him to the mission field. And that included leaving my father, who had a terminal-cancer.. and he sent me off with his blessing. I say again: I humble share this. And now, He has asked me to give up something I have done daily, with 10 Christian gal pals, on line.. it was a struggle, but I FINALLY shared with them, and they blessed me to obey. Also I have just learned that our eldest granddaughter has been conscripted into the Norse Military today! We knew it was coming and have been praying God will use this to His honour & glory. We expect she will be sent for the very north of Norway.. to the Russian Border. I surrender her to Jesus. Amen
What I have learned recently is that praise is what we speak (fruit of the lips), worship is what we do.
Amen
Amen
Yes, praise comes from the lips and worship comes from the heart.
Amen.
Thank u.
Praise God for this uplifting sermon.
This is very Biblical and so profound for believers to get this right about true worship, only God knows how church ended up here on how we view worship. I have been blessed to hear this confirmed message about worship. Worship is a life style, it is everything about our Christian walk, it is not for this hour and that minute etc but a walk of worship... ho God help us to have our minds renewed according to scripture. Bless Pastor Tim for this timely Apostolic message of truth.🎉
Amen 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
If we study we would have never thought that singing in a building was worship, it's not only confirmed in Genesis The apostle Paul clearly mentioned what is true worship but I'm sure you read it before, the problem that we have had is believing only the pastor and not gods word
Squirrel on the psychiatrist's couch says, "It was when you told me you are what you eat that I realised I was nuts."
Praise God for this powerful truth filled message!!!
Pastor Tim I was moved to tears so many times. Thank you.
Worship has A new meaning now !
I surrender it all to you my Lord ❤
I am a product of Teen Challenge Midland. To say my life was changed would be an understatement! I am now married 30 years three wonderful spirit filled children. A Bride of Christ! A watchman for the Father over my Church! Engaged in the war against The prince of Rome the deceiver of the evangelical / romanderivedchurch. This is the battle of our times! This is the reason the Father has protected and covered me for these 63 years. I pray a Psalm 91 covering over this great ministry. May the Father through the Blood of Christ Bless you and Keep you Make His face to shine upon you, be Merciful to you, and grant you the Peace of the Lamb. In the name of Yehoshua the Lamb and the Lion all who agree with the Blessing agree Amen! Your Watchman Tango.
Yes! Amen and amen!❤
Wow ! This is so powerful one of the best messages I’ve heard in a while !
One of the best sermons I’ve heard! Yours of the glory Lord! Yes Lord! You are the one in charge! You deserve the glory! 😭🙌♥️
This is why I think we should bring back the old hymns in the church.
still missing the point
@@anfiach how so?
@@mrwiggiewoo it isn't about the music. The words that are chosen to be sung in your church are important of course but the whole point is that true worship is complete obedience to God in all things and without reservation. I don't disagree that many churches have turned their praise into performances. I have experienced that myself in the church where I first began to serve the Lord. The rub is that it's easy to get caught up in the foolishness of condemnation over things that are irrelevant.
People also get bent out of shape about the altar space. The days of the Tabernacle are long since passed. He dwells within us, we are his temple. We don't require buildings or anything of the like. Music has been a part of worship for all time but, if you aren't in full submission to God, it is empty words and gestures.
@@anfiach Yes, for the most part, I agree! I've been a Christian for 50 years. Not that that makes me an authority on the sybject, but in earlier days of my faith life, we would gather, pray and sing ( ye olde hymns) togther in a church setting, and hear the Bible taught, that was considered a time of worship. Hymn singing was a part of the congergational worship, not the centerpiece. Also, there are different contexts in which we worship- together as a congregation, individually in our lives with God, which of course, centers around love and obedience to God. I listen to and enjoy contemporary Christian music but I don’t neccesarily think it should be called "worship" music. I am partial to a lot of the classic hymns because the focus is more on God and not on our feelings and experiences of him. My point is singing is a part, not the whole, of congregational worship, as is exemplified in the Psalms.
Thanks for that revelatory message about WORSHIP. God bless you more sir.
Thank you Pastor Tim and Times Square Church for your unwavering support for Israel.
@stavros333Could you rephrase yourself so I could understand? I would like to give a reply to what I think you just said but I’m not actually sure what you’re trying to say
True worship is to the Father in Spirit and Truth
There was a young man from Bengal,
Who went to a fancy dress ball.
He went just for fun,
Dressed up as a bun,
And a dog ate him up in the hall.
I agree with you, i long to hear preacher preach about sin and HELL and about not sinning and not going to hell about me getting my soul right with GOD
Music in the Bible has been used to calm agitated leaders (1 Samuel 16:23), to promote the ways of the Lord (Psalm 40:3), to uplift a people (Ephesians 5:19), to praise the Lord (Psalm 104:33) and to invoke His presence (2 Chronicles 5:13).
We turned worship into singing then into self-worship. It's officially karaoke at God's holy pulpit. In addition, we've made worship all about us. Worship songs with more I's and me's than you and yours are perfect examples of this. The Lord did say people will be lovers of themselves, arrogant, prideful and haters and God, etc in the last days. This is clearly evident in our churches today.
What? When You Say You Love Someone do you say love you or do you profess that love? "I love you," I love you Lord because you first loved ME" "you died for me, and I will worship you"
How did any of that become self- serving or self-worship? This is such an asinine thought process to me.
. It depends on our motive.
@@lavapop1900 Watch footage of Steven Furtick and company in action onstage and you'll see the problem. And that's only one example.
Johnm5211...BOOM. 🔨🎯💯
@@Anne-po99 The motive doesn't matter at all. Christ told the Samaritan woman in Jhn 4 that the Father is to be worshiped in truth. Having good motives don't amount to anything if there is no truth involved.
AMEN!!! True worshippers have loose hands that have surrendered ALL to JESUS!!!
When singers are more concentrated on doing complex runs then just singing this song straight with needed inflection to support the words of worship, it becomes a big show.
eloquently expressed!
But they don't sing on your behalf, go ahead and sing the right way.
Some churches have a musical or choir director.
@@WW3_SoonImagine that! They even had that in the Bible according to the Psalms. 😏
Yes.. went to s worship event the other night and this was my thought. That and drum and guitar solos... If that's a musicians offering, do it in your home.
You guys at Times Square Church are so blessed to sit under the teaching of Pastor Tim Dilena.
I am beginning to pray for such a pastor and teacher in my little Australian city. 🙏🏼
To me this is a prophetic message, a timely word for our time. A word in the tradition of our late brother David Wilkerson, and diametrically opposed to much shallow 'feeling good' and prosperity preaching. It was a challenge to me also to reflect on my personal life and consider whether it is a life of true worship or whether I have taken back things that I had sacrificed long ago. We live in a time when so much distraction and so many temptations tempt us to opt for a watered down christian life.
Thanks you so much, brother, for passing Gods Word on to us and to me.
In short, I used to be a bad boy. I did all sorts of evil deeds🙆🙆🙆🙆😭😭😭😭😭😭 but the Mighty hand of God was just on me. Thank you God for your love.
Now, it's 3yrs down the line and I accepted the Lord Jesus as the Lord and Saviour of my life and now I do serve Him on His Alter.
Glory be to the Most High. In deed a seed of God dies not.
WOW! I am undone. LORD please Help my unbelief. 🙏🙏🙏
May God show you His glory
This man is a preacher of the Word of God
Amen! The desire to worship God for this man is bringing in revival for many. I love to hear him preach.
I LOVE this message. This is it! The Truth. Christianity is repenting of me running my life and giving full control to God Who created and owns me. It is constant submission to Him.
Finally, someone has questioned the idea of music taking precedence over worship 🛐
Thank you, Pastor Tim Dilena! 🙏
Thank you, i want Him in my life. Take it all Lord Jesus. From Philippines
This is an inspired sermon. I say Amen!
You worthy of it all, You worthy of all. To You are all things, from You are all things, You deserve the glory!
be blessed, a powerfull word, confirmed and acccepted in Christ
This is my fourth time listening to this message; it is deep revelation for me and It will change my whole attitude about giving my all to God. No more resistance! God help me to walk in this revelation in my daily walk with you.
WORSHIP INTO SINGING CAME WITH ROCK BANDS AND HUGE TV IN THE CHURCH. MODERIZATION OF CHURCH HAS GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL. GLAD THIS MAN IS SPEAKING UP.
What? When you can find even one peice of notated music in the Bible, then we can talk. Anytime a song leader turns to self affirmation, or self glorification, the worship of God is lost. I have family members who are song leaders in their churches who's focus is the performance - and it has nothing to do with the style. I'd put John Cooper from Skillet in a cage match against Stephen Furtick any day and my metal loving apologist would dance over him all day long. Look first at the words being said and the heart of those saying it, and then let's talk delivery vehicle.
Rock music had nothing to do with it. It's about the heart.
Thank you for this sermon. For years when at church and they say let’s stand and worship my spirit says this isn’t worship
What a wonderful message. An Undiluted truth. Praise the Lord!
However, the background music is causing serious distraction. During a sermon, there should be quietness everywhere. Thank you pastor.
Blessings from germany! Preach it Pastor,the Lord bless you and your family!!!
We have been worshipping the activities and not the one who is worthy, the one who died for us to connect us back to the Almighty God. What a truth we need to believe... Thank u pastor
This is one of the most important messages you can hear today.
Music became worship when we stopped wanting to hear the truth, and wanted to be entertained.
So true.
PREACH PREACH 😅
The Law of First Use or First Mention is like the cornerstone of the building. Worship is used in unexpected place in scripture.
Abraham
Isaac
Genesis 22 story is first where worship was first mentioned
True
The other way around
When “praise teams” and “worship leaders” became a feature - an “opening act” - for church services.
Singing to the Lord is a type of worship! It ushers in the holy Spirit!
Messages come through lyrics and then I pray! 😊. Works for me ❤!
While in college getting music degree I had to write my philosophy of worship (apparently alot of churches want you to have this in your resumé portfolio).
My whole point in my “philosophy of worship” was that musical worship was a drop in the bucket of worship to our God and that singing & music is essentially empty worship if our daily lives are not submitted to Him and His glory.
Until our lives are truly live daily for God, our hearts will not connect and interact with the musical praise & worship.
We may not need to fervently emotionally express during musical worship but I can see the attitude of true worship on the face of believers in the crowd who truly have good fruit & live for God in their daily lives.
True worshipers will worship God in spirit and in truth, not music it has been added n added till it stinks only our Lord knows how he feels this pain of listening to such chaotic nonstop music , may the Lord forgive those who teach n sponsor these evil practices in churches, Jesus did not play any instruments during 5he last supper nor did he tell to do so may our eyes be opened n worship God seriously n not by showing off our capabilities n going off tangent by music
Music, singing are EXTENSIONS of worship, i don't need music to worship, it's another avenue of worship...And as a Worship drummer for 50+ years, its a great way to worship...
Do you think drowning out the words of a song, okay? I dislike changing 100 year old hymns into modern music. I feel it almost plagiarism.
You missed the message my friend.
Totally nailed it! Rom 12:1 worship and submission to God are synonymous. On a side note, I find the music in the background distracting. In my mind (and I may be way off), it is used to create a mood which feeds the idea that music and mood are needed for worship. Love the message though. It is ALL God's.
i agree. the background music is very distracting
My thoughts exactly. I’m not bashing the pianist but in that particular setting, too many notes were being played over top of the minister making his final points (the application), our brain will tune one or the other out. 😬
A lot of times when I study mathematics it gives me a certain reverence for God. God is in a lot of places, not just song. But of course he's there too. Lot of good church songs out there.
The entire service of a church on Sunday morning is worship. The singing is part of the teaching, and the teaching is part of the worship. And all of it is meant to bring glory to God.
Thank you, Pastor Tim, for this timely message to redirect the Church back to true worship. More anointing from Nigeria.
I’ve given ALL of me for over 50 years & have NEVER regretted it!!! All I’ve surrendered the Lord has replaced with victory & beauty !!! Praise Almighty God & His Son Jesus myLord & Savior!!!
Best sermon I've heard in YEARS!
This is one of he Best messages I ever heard ; specially about worship .

I'm giving it all to Jesus! I come with loose hands and surrender all to Jesus Hallelujah!!
What a blessing to hear the meaning of the word Worship
Can you imagine the world change if these were the type of preachers on TV God bless Love yall and everyone in Jesuw Name LOVE LoVe
God wants us to be worshipers in spirit and in truth. He deserves all our praise. Thank you my Lord and my savior 🙏🏻 We surrender all to you!
God bless you sir, we know David is smiling from heaven. May my prayers be ever with you, and the Lord Himself strengthen you. Stay the course brother.
Good job, pastor Tim. Glory to GOD! So refreshing to hear God and Christ exalted from the pulpit.
Thank you Pastor for teaching us the true worship 🙏🏽
I’m crying through this entire word. Thank God. Thank God. I’m no longer important it’s you. Ty Ty Jesus the Christ. God bless you and give your more Pastor.
I surrender all. Pastor Tim, thank you for lighting my path back to true worship and the lordship of Jesus.
May the Lord sustain u pastor
The old old preachers use to say worship is on ur knees and giving it all to Jesus this preacher remind me of that thank u…
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 have often wondered the same things as you have said. And. Why the need for the speakers to be turned on so loudly, that I, even I, have to take my hearing aids out so that the ears are not hurt and my hearing become worse. Even then. I sometimes have to put my hands over my ears to keep from being blasted. The laser lights, etc. result in my feeling like I am at a rock concert. I could say more, but I will stop.
Look at pastor gino jennings and you Will find a real church.
Totally agree 💯 with what you said
100% agree. I ask this question every single service. I just don't understand why
Those organizations (not THE CHURCH) are trying to appeal to the world. Where is their faith in the power of The Word of God? Teach truth and God will change their lives. Avoid truth (to be liked and to avoid offense) and you will fill a building with false converts. The people will not bear GOOD fruit. This happens when the pulpit is being occupied by men who have no real faith in God to provide.
Pastor Tim thank you very much for your message. This is a awesome message regarding worship. ❤🙏🙏🙏
Amen! Offering of our life to God our will, to him,will you trust God in all things! Submitting our self? We worship him by trust. It is impossible to please God Without "FAITH"!
The Lord stirred this discomfort in my spirit over 10 years ago and I wrote a book to speak into it. Glad Im not the only one feeling the loss of understanding, reverence and as result the power that should be resident in true worship.
Amen, thank you Jesus for using this church to speak to millions about your word!!!
