Chapter 2: I Will Worship with Others

TWO TYPES OF CHRISTIAN WORSHIP Individual Worship It is the depth of our individual worship of the Lord that fuels corporate worship!

TWO TYPES OF CHRISTIAN WORSHIP Corporate Worship One of the major functions of the local church is to worship the Lord—together!

IN THE WORDS OF THOM “True worship flows from the heart in recognition and response to the magnificence of Christ, and because of an understanding of the grace found solely in the gospel. Embracing these truths through the practical experience of daily living is imperative in our relationship with God. And while true worship always manifests itself in the individual’s response to the majesty God, true biblical worship manifests itself in experience with other believers as well” (p. 26).

The Biblical Basis for Corporate Worship Acts 2:46-47 “Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread form house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.”

Characteristics of the Early Church’s Corporate Worship

Characteristics of the Early Church’s Corporate Worship

THE TERRIBLE SHIFT! “Somewhere in the twentieth century believers, particularly in America, began to shift from an attitude of self- sacrificing service to God and worship of God, to consumer-focused, self-serving attitudes.... the focus in too many of our church worship services is not on God. We are focused on our own selves, our own needs, and our own preferences” (p. 30).

“I Will” Attitudes of Corporate Worship  I will attend worship services.  I will pray before I attend worship services.  I will pray as I enter the worship center or sanctuary.  I will pray that I will be a worshipper instead of a judge.

“How lovely are your dwelling places, O Lord of hosts! My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the Lord; My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.” (Psalm 84:1-2)
