Worship is not for God, but for us. Worship expresses mutuality. Worship celebrates our community. In worship the gathered people of God declare their unity and God's presence. In biblical worship we see the body of Christ and we accept the challenge of sensitive unselfishness.
Worship looks up.
Worship is a declaration of God's mighty acts. Worship looks to God remembering his priority and our dependence. Worship is a declaration of the story of God, a story that includes me and you despite our frailty and failures. Consider two questions. A few years ago I attended a gospel meeting.
