What Does The Bible Say ... About Worship? |
| The word worship means 'worth-ship' - giving God what he is worth. The Bible uses the same word for both 'worship' and 'service' - whether praying in church or serving God by helping others - both are acts of worship for God. |
|
Christian worship can happen both publicly with a group of others or privately on your own. It includes: |
|
 |
SINGING "Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts." (The Bible, Colossians chapter 3 verse 16) |
 |
PRAYER "They all met together continually for prayer." (The Bible, Acts chapter 1 verse 14) |
 |
READING THE BIBLE "Let the words of Christ live in your hearts and make you wise." (The Bible, Colossians chapter 3 verse 16) |
 |
COMMUNION "On the first day of the week (Sunday) we gathered to observe the Lord's Supper (communion)." (The Bible, Acts chapter 20 verse 7) |
 |
GIVING "On every Lord's Day (Sunday) each of you should put aside some amount of money in relation to what you have earned and save it for the offering." (The Bible, 1 Corinthians chapter 16 verses 1 - 2) |
