CHANGED IN HIS PRESENCE<br />
11).<br />
Th<strong>in</strong>k about the idea that God, the creator of<br />
heaven and earth, wants to be your friend. Jesus<br />
told his disciples <strong>in</strong> the book of John, "I no longer<br />
call you servants, but friends." He created us for<br />
fellowship, remember?<br />
Notice when Moses and the people rose and<br />
worshipped, each man was <strong>in</strong> his tent door. They<br />
were worshipp<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> their homes. Worship is not<br />
an event limited to the four walls of the church.<br />
Worship beg<strong>in</strong>s <strong>in</strong> the heart, then the home.<br />
When we gather together at a Sunday<br />
worship service, we celebrate together what we<br />
have enjoyed with Him dur<strong>in</strong>g the week. Home<br />
is the place where He longs to meet with you.<br />

I want to rem<strong>in</strong>d you of one last story <strong>in</strong> the<br />
Bible about worship. This is the story of Mary of<br />
Bethany.<br />
And be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Bethany at the house of<br />
Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a<br />
woman came hav<strong>in</strong>g an alabaster flask of very<br />
costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the<br />
flask and poured it on <strong>His</strong> head (Mark 14:3).<br />
This woman took her most valuable<br />
possession, an the alabaster box of very costly<br />
oil, broke the box and poured it on Jesus' head.<br />
Worship is br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g our most valued possession,<br />
our heart, break<strong>in</strong>g it open and pour<strong>in</strong>g the oil of<br />
our worship on the Master.<br />
There is no greater desire <strong>in</strong> my heart than<br />
