Passionate Worship

 

 

January 31, 2010, Passionate Worship

 

 

 

 

What does it mean? How does our worship really connect people to God? How does God shape our hearts and minds through worship? How can we do better? Help us glorify God and deepen our spiritual lives through renewing our worship!

 

This week, each household is encouraged to read seven devotions and prayers on Passionate Worship in Cultivating Fruitfulness.

 

Next Sunday, the focus of our worship will be Passionate Worship. What does that mean for us? Worship describes those times we gather deliberately seeking to encounter God, the God who uses worship to transform lives, heal wounded souls, renew hope, shape decisions, and bind people to one another. Passionate means an emotional connection that goes beyond intellectual consent, bringing eagerness, anticipation, expectancy, deep commitment, and belief. What can happen if our congregation experiences Passionate Worship? During the coming week, remember to be reading the seven devotions and prayers on Passionate Worship in Cultivating Fruitfulness. We encourage entire households to read and discuss these together.
