What expectations does God have of our corporate worship? Or what does God want for our body?
- Nothing to do with sermon topic, arrangement of chairs, etc… God expects us to come together for encouragement, in joyful assembly to lift each up, not boring.
- Worship needs to honor God.
- Worship should be attractive so that it calls people back to God.
- Worship should engage all people in “bringing an offering” to God- an offering will be different for everyone.
- God wants us to grow. Not for our growth sake but for His kingdom.
How does worship relate to growth?
What expectations do we have of Sunday morning corporate worship?
- Singing, leading, planning should be such that our emotions are touched which can help lead me to God.
- We should be led into an experience with God through study, communion, singing, etc…
- Deliberate and intentional with transparent through lines.
- Time for kids to lead corporate worship.
- Not open-ended and/or nebulous.
- Relevant to my everyday life.
- Connecting people to people.
- Visitor Friendly
Other Thoughts…
- We recognize that we are all in this together and must rely on each other.
- We are not trying to trump one another or feel we have all the answers.
- We fully believe God can and will take us where we need to go if we will open hearts and listen.
- We need to not be afraid to move forward even if it makes us a little uncomfortable.
- Where do we go from here?
