I was reading chapter 6 of the gospel of Mark today where Jesus sends out the disciples to go and preach the gospel, this is how He says to do it: go in pairs go in the authority that He has given us know that you have everything you need in Him “If you’re not [...]

What is worship?

Coming up with a definition of worship isn’t as easy as you might think; most people would say that they know what it is but when it comes to writing it down in a sentence it seems almost impossible to capture all the facets of it. Let’s try and make this an interactive discussion by [...]

The light of eternity

This week I have been listening to Andrew Wommack’s radio teaching on the ‘Christian First Aid Kit’ – which I would highly recommend. One thing that really stood out to me was Paul’s description of his problems&hardships (2 Cor 11:23-29) but he still described them as light and momentary troubles (2 Cor 4:17) . The [...]

Worship, an act or an attitude?

Have you ever noticed how a church-goer’s view of what worship is can be very different to the secular world’s view? It’s not uncommon to hear people describe a love of something as being a ‘worship’, whether it be football or a celebrity, or anything else for that matter. Is this person saying that they [...]

John Wesley’s “Directions for Singing”

John Wesley wrote his directions for singing as part of ‘Select Hymns’ (published in 1761). The full list can be found here (worshipedia.org) or here (Joyful Noise Ministries), or in the original text if you happen to have a 350year book lying around!

Psalm 27:13 [NIV] This is one of my favourite scriptures, and I think that it describes the act of worship really well.

Who may ascend?

Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart. [Psalm 24:3-4 NIV] For the past couple of weeks since David spoke on this topic I’ve been thinking about the ‘power of a good conscience’. Have a look at David’s [...]

Worship in Spirit & Truth

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. [Gen 7:11] Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him. [John [...]

Not to Us O Lord

“Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!” Psalm 115:1 It struck me when I read this scripture recently that this very simple line says a lot about how we should come to the Lord when worshipping. There is [...]

Worship Elements: 2) Call & Response

27But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.” 28And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. Matthew 14:27-29 Our [...]
