    Key Definition: “Worship is honoring God’s greatness and goodness.” - Whether in church on Sunday or in our everyday lives, every time we acknowledge how great God is and/or how good He’s been to us, that is an act of worship. It is an act of honoring Him for who He is and/or what He’s ...read more
