Lent Sermon Series: Why Worship?
We build churches and gather in houses of worship in order to worship God every Sunday. Worship is part of the DNA of the Christian life. But have you ever stopped and considered why we worship the Lord? Have you every asked yourself, “Why Worship?”
Over the coarse of the five Sunday’s in Lent, we will be considering the following questions about worship:
Feb 26 - Why Do God’s People Worship?
March 4 - Why Do Christians Worship? A Lifestyle and A Vocabulary of Worship
March 11 - What Makes Christian Worship, Christian?
March 18 - What Makes Christian Worship, Worship?
March 25 - Key Elements of Worship: Corporate Response and Symbolic Action
Of course having more knowledge about worship is not the only goal for this series. Knowledge is important so you can understand the Biblical and Theological foundations of worship. However, the real hope is to motivate you to worship the Lord! The goal is to move us into a deeper life of worship as Christians and as a congregation.
I’m indebted to the published work and ideas of Jim Altizer, Professor of Worship at Azusa Pacific University. I met Jim at Forest Home where he and his wife were leading worship that was deeply rooted in the Word of God. The content of this series is based on his writing about worship and worship leadership. As I’ve been researching, “Why Worship?” I realize that I have a lot to learn about worship! And I hope you’ll be open to learning more too.
See you in church for our new sermon series, “Why Worship?”
