An Introduction To Worship Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 15, 2019

What is worship? Is it prayer, praise, or preaching? These are elements of worship, but they do not necessarily constitute worship in and of themselves. Worship is an attitude that motivates action, not a mere activity.

Nehemiah called all the people to come together before the Lord for a time of celebration and dedication. This was also a time of worship, as the people called for Ezra to bring the Word of God and read it in their midst. Their worship was centered in the Word.

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

Nature And Worship Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

Nature is to be a source of constant messages that bring us out of self, work, and even play to worship the One who made it all. Day and night nature worships God as its Creator.

In our 5,536 mile trip to Santa Clara and back, we saw the incredible handiwork of God like we never saw it before. The Grand Canyon was so awesome and scary to me with my fear of heights.

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
