We are down to our final few lessons of walking through 1 Corinthians. In chapter 14, we find that the Corinthian church had allowed their love of miraculous spiritual gifts to affect their worship in a negative way. What does Paul tell them they need to change, and what does it teach us about what our worship should (and shouldn’t) be?
As we approach our 25-Year Homecoming, we are studying “what we hope we stand for” as a congregation. This morning, we consider how important worship is to the life of a church, and what the goals of worship should be. Is it possible to keep the goals of worship in the right place, even in today’s world?
This morning we worship as a church family in both English and Spanish! We do this 3 or 4 times a year, to remind ourselves that although our church family speaks two different languages, we share one faith. Today, Tim and Elias share thoughts from the Book of Malachi, thoughts that help us reflect on what kind of heart we are bringing to God…
Jesus said in John 4:23 that God seeks “true worshipers.” And if there is such a thing as “true” worship, there must also be “false” worship.” What does the Bible say about why God might not accept worship? And does it say that false worship is really that big a deal?
There are so many different perspectives on worship in our religious world! In John 4, Jesus says some things about “true worshipers.” How might that passage help us answer some questions we have today about worship?
What is the relationship between our worship and our life? Can they be out of balance? How can they be in harmony with each other?
