In a Nut Shell:

We live in a culture of worship.

That statement may be difficult to swallow if you confine the word “worship” to a religious environment like church, temple, synagogue etc – but worship is a far greater subject than just that. We were made for worship, and no matter what we believe about God, we all worship something – we all serve something.

So, the question becomes, what are you worshiping, rather than do you worship. In the church today, I would argue, that rather than worshiping God, Christians often find themselves worshiping worship! Worship is a drug in which we indulge, getting our fix each week. Our music is something to be consumed not something to engage with or allow our souls to respond to God through. (Note: This is a statement of generality – not necessarily a statement about our specific community – though, it could apply to each of us!)

This week I want to explore a few questions:

What or who do we worship?

What does healthy worship look like in the context of our community?

Why is worship so important in our culture and how is worship accomplishing the mission of Christ?

As an interesting twist – we will do two thing different this week. 1, we will close with worship, as a response to the message – and 2, we will end the message in a discussion forum! It should be fun, see you all Sunday!
