Why Worship?

“ It is an honoring and glorifying of God by gratefully offering back to Him all the good gifts, and the knowledge of his greatness and graciousness, that he has given. It involves praising him for what he is, thanking him for what he has done.” - JI Packer, Concise Theology

“Worship is the supremacy of God in the affections of His people.” - John Piper

There are many people, Christians, who feel that corporate worship is not that important. Personal Worship or simply time with God is enough to give honor to who God is and what He is doing in your life.

Personal Worship is important, do not get me wrong. But God's design is also that the people of God gather to worship. This is evident through out the Bible, Old and New Testaments. God's people gathering together for worship of their creator, sustainer and redeemer.

Is that important to you? To gather with other believers for worship? I hope so....

Psa. 86:9 All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord,
And they shall glorify Your name.

Rev. 7:9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands;
Rev. 7:10 and they cry out with a loud voice, saying,
“Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
