At school today we kicked off a three-week worship series in chapel. I had a handful of students come up and tell me the really enjoyed chapel. One of my students even told me it was the best chapel we have had all year. We had some faculty members form a worship team and had a great time playing together. It was so nice to hear the students singing, clapping and WORSHIPPING!
Jeremiah did a great job setting the pace for the series and made me a bit more nervous about speaking next week. This week we talked about personal worship. Here are some highlights.
--We should want our worship to be our best.
--What is in our worship?
--Worship is about imitating Christ – Ephesians 5:1-2
--Worship is about maintaining purity – Ephesians 5:3-14
--Worship is about living as wise people so others can see Jesus – Ephesians 5:15-20
--Eric Christian’s definition of worship – Worship is acknowledging ALL that God is with ALL that we are.
--By singing songs together and to one another we are worshipping and sharing our faith in Christ.
After Jeremiah spoke we had the students spread out and spend sometime in worship reflecting on what their next step in their worship needed to be. Then we came back together and sang some more.
At first I was upset we couldn’t do this earlier in the year but I discovered today that really this was God’s timing. I pray that the rest of the series will continue to stretch our view of what worship is and help us recognize what steps we need to take to grow in our worship. Thanks for all of you who have been praying about this. Keep praying!
