Improving Worship

How often do we say to ourselves and those we minister to how can we improve our worship in the corporate setting. Each Sunday, when we come together, should be a time of celebration and reflection. It should be the highlight of the week.

Here are some considerations on how we can improve our worship:

1. Always pray before coming to worship. This puts one in the right frame of mind. I appreciate a team of men and women at Central that pray each Sunday for those of us that lead worship. This ministry is a very valuable part of our church. Each of us should reflect before we participate in our weekly worship.

2. Come expecting to be uplifted spiritually as a result of your service to God.

3. Come to worship God. Remember worship is not about ME it's to honor our God.

4. Enter enthusiastically into every part of our worship. Sing from the heart, pray, study, listen, give. Be a worshipper not a spectator.

5. When worshipping forget the faults of others there and think on your own imperfections. Confess your sins and seek forgiveness from God.

6. Listen to the lesson. Don't let your mind think about other items outside of what is being discussed by the minister.

7. Sit close to the front. Less distractions. Easier to participate.

8. Be positive, warm and friendly to all that are in attendance.

9. Seek out those who need a helping hand.

I am so blessed to worship with a church that truly loves to worship. If you are looking at ways to enhance your worship as a congregation, look at improving your personal focus on worship first!
