What do we do in our corporate worship services?

We read the word, we preach the word, we pray the word, we sing the word, we confess the

word, and then we see the word in the sacraments.

How did you decide to join your local church?

For some Christians, it was a matter of whether or not they enjoyed the worship, but what

is worship?

And are we free to worship God according to our own preferences?

Hi, I'm Nathan W. Bingham, and thanks for joining us for renewing your mind.

The topic of worship can be controversial, but since Christians have been recreated

for worship of the one true and living God, we should take this subject seriously to ensure

that we're worshiping God according to His Word.

Jason Halopoulos taught an 11-message series on worship at Ligonier, and you'll be hearing

select messages over the next few days on renewing your mind.

He begins today by establishing the fundamental truth that our worship is to be word-centred.

Here's Reverend Halopoulos.

All of life is to be a life-lived and yet what we see in Scripture is that what I like

to call spheres, there are these different spheres of worship within our lives.

And I want to walk through those over our next sessions together.

The three spheres that I would see in our life-lived and worshiped to God are corporate

worship.

We're going to start there in this session, family worship, and then private worship or

secret worship.
