When did your Sunday School class study how we're supposed to worship?

Examine worship's importance, its purpose, and its implications on our lives. Find out how the opinions and ideas you already have about worship affect not only your offering before God, but how they relate to your image of God and His working in your life.

Book excerpt: What is worship? Biblically-speaking, worship might mean a lot of things: a celebration of God and his glory, a display of reverence and awe, an act of humility or prostration before our Creator. But what does this look like today? And do churches of today—of any tradition or denomination—really worship in a way that's biblical? Called to Worship is a deep dive into what worship means in the Bible. Vernon Whaley—Dean of the school of music at Liberty University—investigates each individual book of Scripture to uncover the tapestry of instruction and insight into God's idea of worship. With this book, you'll learn: How to see through the comfort zones of the modern church's worship rituals and routines. The biblical principles of worship and why understanding these principles is essential in our discipleship and important to our creator. How the life of Christ serves as a living guide to worship throughout the entire Bible and the history of Christianity. The Bible describes a rich history of Yahweh worship—offered first by the hosts of heaven in eternity past, and then by mankind, from Creation to present day. This book is a call to understand and participate in that richness.

Download or read book Worshipology written by Robert Williams, Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-10 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biblical worship is a lifestyle, and its meaning, practice, and purpose seems lost in contemporary culture. The corporate worship service event is intended to support the development, maintenance, and advancement of a worship lifestyle. Yet events observed in many churches and commonly referred to as worship barely resemble those described in the Bible and extra-biblical sources. Consequently, such events fail to engage participants as they once did, at least not to the same extent.The Bible as well as extra-biblical sources describe corporate worship events that engage all the human senses. The loss of that engagement in the contemporary corporate event has caused dire consequences. They have reached such a level of impotency at even leading others in the genuine worship of God that the chances of them inspiring participants to develop, maintain, and advance a worship lifestyle is highly improbable.Worshipology seeks to improve the contemporary corporate worship service event through the restoration of elements of the biblical worship experience. It goes beyond an examination of the biblical foundations of an effective corporate worship service event. Worshipology also draws connections between contemporary scientific knowledge of the human senses and the worship experience. This understanding of how our senses function during the worship experience can greatly increase the effectiveness of that experience at supporting a worship lifestyle.The purpose of Worshipology is to facilitate the production of events that so thoroughly immerse the very being of worshipers as to propagate a worship lifestyle. In systems theory, you cannot change some part of a system without changing the whole. So, worship service events that transform its participants in turn transform every environment (system) of every participant. In short, a group of individuals who practice a worship lifestyle is infinitely transformative. Crafting worship service events that support the development, maintenance, and advancement of a worship lifestyle therefore makes a great deal of sense.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anxious that current interest in and discussion of worship are too much preoccupied with mere mechanics, Dr. Carson joined with an international group of scholars to produce this final volume of the five Tyndale Consultations. First, a biblical theology of worship is explored by the Japanese, Yoshiaki Hattori, and the Australian, David Peterson. From this foundation, there follow reflections upon the practice of worship in nine different contexts: denominational (including Anglicanism and Lutheranism), cultural (South America and the Two Thirds World), and also the charismatic movement and student groups. In the final part, the Croat theologian Miroslav Volf concludes that worship is Òthe outworking of God-centredness in individual and corporate experience'. The opinions expressed, although at times in disagreement with one another, are an indication of the wealth of diversity within the worldwide church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an extraordinary way, The Biblical Foundations of Christian Worship is a massive and comprehensive undertaking designed to provide the biblical context out of which worship is celebrated and enacted. It establishes the working definition for worship through the specific vocabularies of the Old and New Testaments and highlights the use of symbolism, sacrifice, a sense of the numinous, and the myriad of responses to salvation history. It culminates with the history of Israelite/Jewish and New Testament worship, the biblical institutions of worship and those who lead in its celebration, and then reaches its zenith with the depiction of the use of music and art in its varied forms and other sacred acts which are integral parts of the worship tradition.
