It is not difficult, in the process, to find we are missing the focus and the content of our Christian faith: Jesus Christ. How are you doing at giving your congregation Jesus?Worship: More than Music?
Worship has come to be equated with music. However, corporate worship concepts are far broader than just music. In this session, some of the biblical words for worship and other concepts will be introduced and brought to light in the context of 21st century worship practices. This instruction can be helpful to both worship leaders and congregation members in understanding roles and purposes for corporate worship.
