The inner essence of worship

The authenticating, inner essence of worship is being satisfied with Christ, cherishing Christ, treasuring Christ.  You can see how this definition of the essence of worship is free from Sunday worship services.  It encompasses all of life that flows from the heart.  But it is tremendously relevant for understanding what worship services should be about.  They are about "going hard after God".
