Spreading the Good News

Have u ever asked the question?!!
"Why do we spend so much time in our services on worship?"
"What for all the present emphasis on worship?"

It is essential that every pastor and Church answer this question themselves. It is no longer adequate to defend our worship services by saying, "Well, we've always done it this way". It is equally insufficient to conceive our worship services as "the preliminaries," something to "condition" the congregation in preparation for the truly important part of the service: The Sermon. It is time to seriously consider from a broader perspective the vital role that worship plays in the life of the congregation :)

There are three general spheres in which our worship service minister:-

1. There is the vertical aspect of worship, the level in which the worshiper communicates with the Lord~

2. There is the horizontal aspect of worship; the level in which the worshiper communicates with others in the congregation~

3. There is the inward aspect of worship, where the worshiper is personally affected by the worship service~

Each of these areas helps us to better understand the role of worship in the congregation.
As a result, our worship service will not drift aimlessly but will move forward incisively towards the goal set before us: To be worshipers, to minister to the Lord and to one another, to experience His Glorious presence and to remain sensitized to His voice :)
