Last Saturday, we talked about worship.
There's this great song by Matt Redman called "The Heart of Worship"
that we sang and discussed.
He wrote the song after an experience at his church where the pastor took all the audio and music equipment out of the church and the only thing people used for worship was themselves.
To read more about it, click here.
So what did we think was important for worship?
-MUSIC (of course, it was a group of musicians :-) )
-something meaningful to take away from the service
-some sort of further discussion afterward
(which hopefully this blog can become)
-fellowship and an inclusive atmosphere (a "feeling" of worship)
We also talked about many other things, including:
-Amazing Grace (go see the movie!!!)
-things that inspire us
-awesome movies
-our worship experiences in the past
-Rob Bell (PLEASE read his books "Velvet Elvis" & "SexGod")
-depression and ways to recover
-the definition of worship
In the end we discovered that the true aim and purpose of worship is to praise and honor God.
To thank God for all his many blessings.
To have a relationship with him.
God is the audience to our worship. The worship leaders are the directors of worship.
We are the players of our worship drama.
Just some food for thought.
Blessings,
