The Way We Worship

“The hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.”
- Jesus Christ  John 4:23  NKJV

Biblical expressions of worship are still practiced today!

We lift our hands in praise because…
    In the Bible we read, “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and praise the LORD.”   Psalm 134:2


We sing with all our hearts because…
    In the Bible we read, “Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music;”  Psalm 98:4


We play musical instruments because…
    In the Bible we read, “Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise Him with the harp and lyre praise Him with tambourine and dancing, praise Him with the strings and flute, praise Him with the clash of cymbals, praise Him with resounding cymbals”   Psalm 150:3-5


We dance before the Lord because…
    In the Bible we read, “Let them praise His name with dancing and make music to Him with

tambourine and harp.  Psalm 149:3


We clap and shout unto God because…
    In the Bible we read, “Clap your hands, all you nations; shout unto God with cries of joy.”  Psalm 47:1


We testify publicly because…
    In the Bible we read, “I will declare Thy name unto my brothers; in the congregation I will praise you.”  Psalm 22:22


We anoint the sick with oil and pray for divine healing because…
    In the Bible we read, “Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.    James 5:14-15


We allow the operation of the spiritual gifts because…
In the Bible we read, “When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church.   1 Corinthians 14:26
