Worship Wars

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Nov 7, 2006

Sermon to handle the increasing division over style of music in worship (contemporary vs. traditional). We sing for God’s benefit and not our own. Yet God continues to inspire us with a new song and styles of worship.

In the last month or so I have heard some interesting comments. I’ve heard, “we don’t sing enough of the old hymns,” or “I don’t like the new music,” and I have also heard “we are singing too many hymns,” or “we sing songs too slow.” Interesting isn’t it? Whenever people are involved there are ...read more

Full Access

Contributed by Tim Hinrichs on Aug 25, 2011

The tabernacle is a pattern not only for the Old Testament, but for our worship of God today. We have full access to God's holy place but so few enter in.

In 1922, Archeologist Howard Carter discovered an entrance to an Egyptian tomb. A sealed doorway. And on the doorway was the seal of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen.

One Accord
