Tip #5A Worship 101: The Church & Our Service

As I mentioned in my last post I would be talking about the basics of what worship is over my next few posts. 

So let’s recap, worship is anything we say, do etc. that honors our God. Therefore, let’s look at the first two ways to worship. This is worship 101 if you will. 

1. Going to Church: Well hey guess what, if you are doing a worship set you are there! You are at the place where a lot of people say is the center of our worship culture, the church. God wants us to be together with His people, to be part of His community. The writer of Hebrews says, “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Hebrews 10:24-25 (ESV) This passage tells us that we should gather together with our brothers and sisters in Christ to encourage one another. Attending church also allows us the opportunity to hear teaching from God’s Word and to learn from it. Going to church also allows you different opportunities to perform another act of worship, service.

2. Serving God & Others: Let’s talk about service at church first since we started there. Service to God through a ministry of the church is important. It allows you as a Christian to “pour out” what you have been taking in through Scripture and teaching. Ministries are not just singing on the praise team or leading kids in worship they vary from ministries to women, to men, to older, to younger and yes, ladies and gentlemen even to babies. Serving in the church is one of my favorite acts of worship. God has given each of us gifts and talents and He expects us to use them to further His name and purpose as well as build up and encourage the community around us. In 1 Corinthians 14:26 Paul says this, “What then is the conclusion, brothers? Whenever you come together, each one has a psalm, a teaching, a revelation, another language, or an interpretation. All things must be done for edification.” (HCSB) Paul had spent many of the chapters before this verse reminding the Corinthian church to use the gifts that God had given them no matter what they were to glorify and to be a church that serves God! 

There is also a second part to this of worship called service. It is serving others. I am not just talking about serving within the church but also to the people outside of it. We are called as Christians to be lights to the world and to be a help in the time of need. So what does this act of worship look like. I am not saying just go and pour money into whatever charity you think would be good. Yes, you could do that but I am talking more down to earth terms. An example would be going and feeding the homeless through an organization or doing a food drive to feed the hungry. An act of worship could also be helping that co worker paint their house or fix their sink. God has given us each different abilities and tools and what an awesome act of reverence to God do we do when we use those things to be a light to others.

Do some thinking about these items in your life. When you reach the points in your life when you feel lost and you feel so far away from God, go back to the basics of worship. When we take our focus off ourselves and repoint it back to the gracious, generous, all powerful God through these acts of worship how different would our Christian walks be. How different would our praise sets be. 

As you worship God, remember the seriousness of what worship is and what you are doing to show honor to your Father.

I will continue with the next few items of worship in the following post.
