Worship is lifting up the worth of the One who has come to us, claimed us as his own and has given his son for us. Worship is an opportunity, in a sense, to offer our thanks, our adoration, our gratitude, to orient our lives around God who cares about us so incredibly.
Worship is at the center of life.
It's not a side issue. It's really crucial. In our western mindset, we think in individualistic terms very naturally. But the biblical understanding of us is that we are a people. God has done something for us collectively.
