4 encouraging calls to Worship

 Read Psalm 122.

The pilgrims continued to encourage one another as they journeyed to Jerusalem.  It was time to come together for corporate worship.  Here were the calls to worship:

1. Go.
"Let us go to the house of the LORD!"
"Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." (Hebrews 10:25)

2. Go gladly.
"I was glad when they said to me..."
"But the hour is coming, and now is here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him." (John 4:23)

3. Go gladly giving thanks.
"...to give thanks to the name of the LORD."
"Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise!  Give thanks to him; bless his name!"
(Psalm 100:4)

4. Go praying.
-Peace of the city.  "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!"
-Peace in the city.  "Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!"
-Peace within the city.  "For my brothers and companions' sake I will say, 'Peace be within you'."
