Philosophy of Worship:

Worship is ascribing honor and glory to God our Creator1 because honor and glory are due His name.2  Worship results from seeing3 and savoring4 Jesus Christ5 as Lord6: who He is7 and what He has done.8  A believer9 who treasures Jesus Christ10 loves His Word11, presents himself as an obedient living sacrifice12, and longs to make Christ known in the world.13 Thus worship results in living for Jesus Christ our Savior by ceaselessly pursuing holiness,14 a pure life,15 a heart of humility,16 unity within the body,17 a habit of service,18 faithful outreach,19 and joy.20

Corporate worship is gathering to praise God21 and propel one another toward Christ.22  We preach the gospel23 to one another;24 speak, sing, and teach God’s Word, work, and character to one another;25 offer God our united prayer and praise;26 and humbly serve and encourage one another with our God given gifts by the power of the Holy Spirit.27  We nurture together an ever-deepening pleasure in Christ our Savior,28 always pursuing Godly beauty and order29 as we edify one another.30

21 Acts 2:46,47, I Thessalonians 5:16-18

22 Romans 15:1-7, Hebrews 12:1,2, Hebrews 10:24, 25 

23 The gospel in its fullest sense is the good news of God’s work to bless and redeem His fallen creation and bring all things back under His good rule through Jesus Christ (the gospel of the kingdom).  The central event of this good news is Jesus’ cross and resurrection: Christ’s life, atoning death, and resurrection secured and accomplished all God’s promises for the redemption of this world (1 Cor 1:20). So the gospel is both the good news of personal forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus and, more broadly understood, the good news of God’s restoration of all things which is ours through Christ’s life and work.  These promised blessings include reconciliation between people, transformation through the Holy Spirit’s power, our bodily resurrection, and the promised new heavens and earth, to name a few. When we preach the gospel to one another, then, we are not merely repeating the facts of Jesus’ earthly life.  We also exhort and encourage each other to embrace the overflowing fullness of the hope He has given us in Christ.
