Living a Life-style of Worship

We most commonly think of "worship" as something we do for 60 to 90 minutes on Sunday mornings.

And we would be right.

You hear the call to worship from Scripture:

Come, let us bow down in worship,
Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. Psalm 95:6

But thinking bigger and broader ...

1) Worship is both:
a. Personal and communal
b. Secret and public
c. Interior and exterior
d. An attitude and an event
e. Something you live and something you do
f. Something you possess and something you express
g. A gift of grace and an exercise of our will to cooperate with that grace.

2) These characteristics of worship are so interconnected as to make each of them seem a precondition to the other in one respect and its fruit in another.

In other words you might say,
"You can't fully worship with the church
if you are not worshipping as an individual"

But you can just as truthfully say,
"Corporate worship is the wellspring of my life as a worshipper.
It is where I am fed and filled."
