5. Conclusions Our response – must be in accord with revelation
Is to who God is in his saving acts
Whole person to the whole of God – with the whole people of God
Will involve relationship to God and one another
Sacrifices in NT – ourselves, our praise, our generosity
When we gather – corporate worship – so we may go on worshipping – built up, instructed, encouraged

6. Common errors Worship = the hour on Sunday
Worship has nothing to do with the hour on Sunday
Worship is about what gives me a good feeling

7. Worship vs
meeting
refer handout

8. Practical keys Aim – worship together – to go on worshipping
Every facet of the service – help us engage with God
Want people to know they have met with God as we have met with each other
Reverence AND joy
Moving yet not manipulative
Informal and reverent at the same time

9. Practical keys
Reminded of holiness at confession and grace and mercy at assurance
Singing – to remind people of God’s work for us in Christ and cause their hearts to rejoice at God’s sheer love and grace
Prayer time – should remind people of the big things we ought to be praying about and that we pray to a God who is able to do more than either we ask or imagine
End – focus on God and for people to leave with joy in God’s goodness and a renewed determination to do all in the name of the Lord Jesus

10. Guidelines for leaders
Count it a privilege
Pray
Dress
Standing/sitting – instructions… you are not the MC
Introducing songs and segments – short, less is more… planned but not read
Pray or say something between songs – don’t leave us hanging
Don’t welcome or pray until after 1st or 2nd song
