This week we discussed the importance of studying worship and previewed some of the topics we'll be looking at over the next couple of months. Here are some highlights:
-Our purpose in this class is not to push new styles of worship but rather come to understand what true worship is and discover how we can be transformed through our times of worship. We want our worship renewal to be focused on our inward spirits instead of our outward expressions.
-We looked at several passages that illustrate how important worship is to God and tell about the great power in true worship. (Isaiah 29:13, John 4:19-24, Romans 12:1-2)
-We looked ahead at some ideas that we'll be exploring in this class that will help us develop a deeper heart for worship, come to better understand communal worship, and leave a lasting impact through our worship.
-I also referenced a few resources that are available to those who want more depth and interaction outside of our weekly meetings. One of those resources is this blog, the other is a twitter account "GTworship". If you'd like a quick and easy way to follow the twitter feed, just text "GTworship" to 40404 and you'll receive a text message when a new tweet is posted.
As we look forward to this journey, What are some ways that you feel you can grow in worship? How have your feelings about worship helped or hindered your spiritual transformation? Feel free to post your responses in the comments section of this post. May God bless us as we seek to be transformed through worship!
