Download or read book Worship written by Henry Blackaby and published by Innovo Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK: Nothing is higher on God's agenda for Himself and for His people than worship. To God worship is so vital that to fail to experience genuine worship is fatal. Yet it is possible to go through life thinking we have worshiped without ever having done so. Any study of worship is incomplete without a life-action response. This six-week interactive study presents a process where God brings you face-to-face with His truth, then guides you to an interaction with that truth. This study brings the pastor, staff, church leaders, and congregation to a mutual conviction regarding what worship is as God has revealed it in His Word. The purpose of this study is to help a church corporately come to unity of heart and life in their understanding and experience of God's requirements and standards for worship. Week 1: What God Did in Creation Week 2: Why God Is So Central in Worship Week 3: What Is God's Standard for Acceptable Worship? Week 4: The Lifestyle of a Transformed Worshiper Week 5: Heaven's Pattern for Worship Week 6: What Would Happen if We Returned to Worship? ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Henry Blackaby has spent his life in ministry.

Book Synopsis In God's Presence by : N. Graham Standish
Download or read book In God's Presence written by N. Graham Standish and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vibrant worship services, argues creative and provocative author Graham Standish, are those in which the congregation obviously asks questions such as: Does our worship help people experience God? Does our worship open people to the presence of Christ? Does our worship encourage people to become available to the Holy Spirit? Unfortunately, he observes, too many worship services are perfunctory, suggesting that most churches don't think much about how to connect people with God. In God's Presence makes the case that congregations must restore intentionality and authenticity to worship in a way that will open people to the Holy. Intentionality, he says, reflects a deep understanding of what tradition has attempted to do, what contemporary people are hungry for, what is going on in our culture, and how to connect the three. Standish advocates what he calls an 'integrated' approach to worship, one that maintains the distinctiveness of each element of worship as a counterpoint to other elements. He first explores the problem of worship in the current church. Then he looks at ways to reconceive worship with an emphasis on restoring the Holy to worship. Finally, he looks at ways to lead a congregation to consider new ways of worshiping. This book is about how to open people to an encounter with the Holy in worship, how to follow God in this pursuit, and how to lead those who have no interest in the Holy.

It is no wonder, then, that worship is such an important part of every church service.
Download or read book Worship Frames written by Deborah J. Kapp and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2008-09-16 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worship is a congregation's most important practice. In worship we encounter God's gracious presence and come face to face with the frailty, goodness, and potential of our humanity. We are comforted, corrected, forgiven, healed, challenged, and sometimes even disturbed by the divine and one another. We are morally formed and sent by God into the world. The mysterious and uncontrollable work of the Spirit is at the heart of all genuine worship. Yet worshipers and leaders work hard to worship. In Worship Frames, Deborah Kapp explores how the sociological concept of frames can help us better understand the social and human dynamics of worship. Frames are interpretive schemes or ideas that help people locate, understand, and identify their experiences. For example, opening a service with a period of silent reflection followed by a sober hymn is a different frame for worship than opening with congregational announcements and a loud call-and-response session. She has found that this theory has opened her eyes to dynamics in worship she had not noticed before and best helped her understand differences in worship styles. By understanding our frames, we can learn how to reframe worship to give fuller and richer expression to our faith. Kapp shares her insights with congregations and worship leaders so they will gain new perspectives from which to analyze and design worship, and deepen their perceptions about the role worship plays in faith communities.

Not content with safe religion that demands nothing of us, Sara shows teens how they can stop giving in to the status quo and devote themselves fully to Christ, following him no matter what their friends do or the culture around them does. She challenges them to give everything over--their comfort zones, their time, their loyalties, their pride--and discover that in losing control they are gaining the life that was meant for them all along.
