My favorite time of the week is when we come together as a family in worship. That special time where we can finally see our brothers and sisters after a busy week battling Satan and all his temptations. Worship is that moment when we can connect with each other and worship our Heavenly Father as one body. When we worship the world stops for a moment. The world and all its cruel hate, filth and corruption is a million miles away as we bow our hearts to our Heavenly Father and as we commune around the Lord’s Table.
The way we will most affect change is by what's happening out in the pews. If we are a worshipping church, if we allow ourselves to be engaged in every part of our corporate experience together--then guests will come in and say, "Surely the spirit of God is in this place!" What will really impact them though is what they feel from the living body that is the Central Church. If we are worshipping and praying and studying with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, it will impact people. We want this to be a safe and spiritually challenging place for guests as well as with each other.
Spend time this week preparing for worship. A time that allows us to connect and be a body devoted and unified as we praise our Heavenly Father!

I'm wondering if you have (or might) developed a theology of worship. What is worship all about? What is it that makes it vital to creation/God's design?
Just a thought...
Many blessings...
