Coulda Hada Pear: Overview Series

Worship Is A Verb!

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017

Worship services are first and foremost to offer worship to God through Christ Jesus, rather than satisfy the attendee. Many have lost sight of the fact that Church services are more about the attendee giving than receiving.
