Worship 4 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Sep 8, 2005

Here was a devoted, God fearing man, who was working for the one of the worst immoral sinners of all time. Yet, even in that undesirable position, he served the Lord faithfully. There is a message here for us in this day and age, but you will need to ch

We are taking a short interim study on "Worship" and some of its implications. In our brief and incomplete study of worship, we saw that true worship always brings change to the life of the one worshiping, to be more like the One being worshiped. There are many areas of our lives that true worship ...read more

Worship 5 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Sep 9, 2005

True Worship Series

Worship 6 Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Sep 14, 2005

Our unique relationship within the Body of Christ, is SO different that it is nearly impossible, through natural logic, to comprehend. We are “fellow” workers WITH God in His field and on His building, and field.

We have been looking at the subject of "Service after Worship", and it might better be titled "Service AND Worship". The two subjects CANNOT be separated.

To Worship God

Contributed by Dennis Lawrence on Jun 13, 2003

Learn the lesson about worship from Michal as she criticized her husband, David’s, enthusiastic worship.

To Worship God When someone does something differently from what someone else does, it can raise questions that can have disastrous effects. This is what happened in the life of ancient King David.

Worship That Works

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Jun 22, 2003

Worship: How? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 4, 2003

Worship is done in many ways. But it must always have freshness and not mere form; it must be in community and not merely individual; it must have joy and not mere instruction at the bottom line; and it must spill into the streets, not confined to the sa

In your mind’s eye, take a tour with me. In your imagination, let’s go into some very special rooms. First, we go to a spacious room, dark, slightly musty, with nooks and crannies in which you could hide if you wanted to.

Worship: What? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 5, 2003

Worship will not satisfy unless it has both the elements of "spirit" and "truth". To worship without knowing the Bible is to fall for "feel-good" religion. And to worship without connecting with Christ is to go through the motions.

I am one of those who does not consider a meal complete unless it includes dessert. No matter how sumptuous the meal may be, until I have had my bowl of ice cream or my slice of pie, it just isn’t complete. And my wife is saying, under her breath, what you mean is a bowl of ice cream AND a slice ...read more

Worship: Why? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 8, 2003
