The purpose of this blog is to encourage my church to worship.

Worship cannot be contained within Sunday mornings or even in songs alone.

Worship permeates everything we say and do.

It takes place on Monday mornings and Friday evenings.

My hope is to encourage the church to see worship as the primary thing we are to be about. So here are some thoughts.

What is Worship?

I will never forget sitting in C. Michael Hawn’s class on the first morning. My classmates and I were waiting to see how he was going to define worship. What new perspective was he going to give us on worship? How was he going to spin it?

He walked up to the front of the classroom…

This is it, here it comes…

The first carefully chosen words out of his mouth were, “Worship is Jesus Christ.”

I thought to myself, “That doesn’t even make sense.”
