Worship

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.
