FOLLOW THE LEADER - Jesus Prioritized Worship (1/26/25)

Follow the Leader - "Jesus Prioritized Worship" - Luke 4:14-16; John 4:21-23

Worship was at the heart of Jesus' ministry. In fact, it is evident that He was raised that way. His parents modeled it. When travelers went to Jerusalem, they sang together the same "psalms of assent" as they headed to Jerusalem. Jesus grew up singing, "I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the Lord'..." He continued that rhythm in His own life. There is a trend at work in the church right now in which people, on average, attend 1.4 times a month - that's average. It's called "regular attendance." The implication from the text was that every week, Jesus was at the synagogue, and every year, at the temple.
