Worship is our joyous response to God's manifest presence. The goal is ruling and reigning with him, allowing Jesus the Lord to manifest himself in our flesh in this life. Worship is moving beyond our self-centered lives to meet the one who created us for something better. Worship is a personal meeting with God in which we honour, magnify and glorify him for his person and actions. Worship is routine punctuated by festivity.
Worship is an occasion when the heart is liberated to love and the mind to think.
Worship is the celebration and affirmation of God's love in the world. Worship is an active response to God whereby we declare his worth. Worship is the honour and adoration which are rendered to God by reason of what he is in himself, and what he is for those who render it. Worship is celebration. Worship is being confronted with a sense of wonder, a sense of our sin, a seeking of purging and purification and a summons to service.
