God is Spirit and they that worship Him MUST worship in spirit and truth.*
Man always wants to worship or wants to be worshiped; it is an instinctive urge within man to worship as it is to sleep or eat. One's manner and object of worship, however, differs with their understanding and emotions. It is not enough for us to worship, we must worship the right object in spirit and manner. God, the Almighty, is the only true object to worship, and as He is spirit we have to worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). This means all worship can't be true.
The worship of the church of Christ is simple because it is based entirely on the worship authorized in the New Testament. We do not try to improve on God's divine plan with pageantry or ideas of men; we strive to engage in all worship and service with decency and order (1 Corinthians 14:40). Each item of worship is usually announced and often briefly explained by the men who lead us in our worship. Our worship includes joyously PRAISING God and encouraging each other in song; humbly PRAYING to God with supplications, intercessions and thanks-giving; solemnly PARTAKING of the Lord's Supper in remembrance of the atoning death of Jesus Christ at Calvary; cheerfully PURPOSING in our hearts to freely give as we have prospered; and PREACHING the Word of God. |
You are invited to join us every Sunday from 10AM at our meeting place for worship service. We also have Bible classes for all ages from 9AM - 9:55AM on Sunday and during the week to effect spiritual growth. THE CHURCH OF CHRIST WELCOMES YOU!
