Worship: Worship

Elm City Vineyard Church Talks

Do we live slow enough to notice invitations from God to worship? We don’t ever start worshipping God ex nihilo, out of nothing. We join in. We respond to an invitation. During our short series on WORSHIP before Advent, we are taking time to see worship as more than music. Worship is the site of our noticing God and drawing near. Worship is obedience. Worship is the place we establish habits of spiritual formation. This Sunday, we’ll look at how noticing God is the beginning of this path and how God can help us overcome distraction, confusion, and self-centeredness. Worship, because of God’s generosity, can even become a place where not only notice God but receive an invitation from God for the rest of our lives. What’s yours?

- Series Description -
Our Fall 2024 series started with healing and continued with enemy love. It’s hard to admit we’re sick, and we need healing. It’s hard to love our enemies. It’s also hard to submit ourselves to God and worship God alone. Yet, if we worship God fully, healing comes easier as we are oriented around the Healer — not just our wounds. If we worship God fully, we’ll know we’re lifting someone up who loves us…and our enemies. This short three week series will be a primer on how to notice God and be invited to worship, understand obedience as worship in all areas of our lives, and form habits of formation — even in the every day — that help us worship God for the long haul.
