The Altar Of Worship Series

Contributed by Jacob Brimm on Apr 20, 2021

Commonly you may think of Praise and Worship, but real quick: Praise is lifting our voices, Worship is a lifestyle! Worship is presenting your body as a living and holy sacrifice: its living your life in accordance to the Word of God, so that it is pleasing to God.

Worship On Purpose Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

Worship is so much more than singing a song, the style of music, or our even own preferences; it’s about our heart-attitude before God. There are many elements to worship; but they all serve to honor and glorify God and edify others.

This morning, we’re going to continue our series on the five purposes of the church by looking at worship. In the song “The Heart of Worship,” Matt Redman sings, “I’ll bring You more than a song, for a song in itself is not what You have required. You search much deeper within, through the way ...read more

The Greatest Worship Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 15, 2021

Jesus was worshiped in His manhood, and Jesus is worshiped in His deity, and forever both angelic and human beings will worship the God-Man on His throne. Can there be any doubt that worshiping Jesus is THE GREATEST WORSHIP.

No other being in all of history has been held up as one to be worshiped by all the angels. God Himself gave the command that all of His intelligent created beings are to bow down to His Son. He forbids that anyone worship any angel, but He demands that His Son be worshiped. This should settle it ...read more

Worship As Sacrifice

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 13, 2022

The word "worship" means ascribing worth to God. In America, worship doesn’t cost us much; and so, we have basically forgotten God's real worth. But, according to the Scripture, worship involves sacrifice, which is very costly.

Tonight we are going to come to a better understanding of what it means to worship the Lord. To begin, we must understand what the word “worship” means. The word worship is derived from an Anglo-Saxon word, which is actually a combination of the two words “worth” and “ship.” The term “ship” ...read more
