Advent Conspiracy – Worship Fully
18 Dec2009
What does it mean to WORSHIP FULLY? To live a LIFESTYLE of worship? How do we worship?
It starts with Jesus. It ends with Jesus. This is the holistic approach God had in mind for Christmas. It’s a season where we are called to put down our burdens and lift a song up to our God. It’s a season where love wins, peace reigns, and a king is celebrated with each breath. It’s the party of the year. Entering the story of advent means entering this season with an overwhelming passion to worship Jesus to the fullest.
Advent Conspiracy – Worship Fully
Christ tends to get overlooked at Christmas, just watch an hour of commercial TV and the adverts will show you what Christmas has become. But lets just ask a Christian what it means to worship? Or what image comes to mind when the word “worship” is mentioned? I’ll bet you a couple of shiny coins that most think of church, Sundays and if you’re lucky… hands in the air. I did an image search for “worship”. Guess what picture presented itself the most? Yep – it was the “hands in the air image”
This has become the symbol of worship!! The question we need to ask ourselves – is that what worship is about? Of course I’m sure most will answer NO. Singing songs together is just a part of it. An outward expression of love for God. They may be right.
Yet what is the philosophy that fuels this type of worship? Some churches I’ve been to, worship is a specific “TIME” slot and seems to be more about performance than Jesus. So What is worship really about? What does Jesus say about it? What does the Bible say? What does a worship lifestyle entail? If worship is about Jesus – what should that look like today?
