We were made to worship. Life consists of constant worship. Every thought, word, desire, and deed involves the ascribing of worth and value - glory. Each attitude, affection and activity is an expression of our allegiance, whether to our Creator or His creation. God alone is worthy of our worship.
Worship is related to every area of our lives. We are called to eat, drink, speak, think, and work to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31). Worship cannot be narrowed down to a particular time and place as if God does not claim authority over certain aspects of our lives. The Pandemic taught us this reality. There are no neutral desires or deeds; everything is an expression of worship. Worship is our devotion, and our emotion reveals our devotion. Worship = Love = Know. To know God is to love God and to be loved by God.
Our worship is nurtured together, whether online or in person. We worship God by remembering the good news of Jesus through preaching, teaching, singing, praying, and celebrating the sacraments of communion and baptism. Each presents an opportunity for the church (the people, not the steeple) to receive, remember, respond, and rejoice in the work of our good, good Father.
