Every Sunday Christians all over the world gather to sing, pray…listen to (a brilliant!) sermon… Styles may vary, but the pattern and basic content is stunningly consistent. The question for today is: Why? What are the origins of Christian worship? Why these particular elements? And how do we know if we are “worshipping correctly”? Can one worship badly? (Countless church meetings have been surely been dedicated to arguing about it!)
In this installment, our pal Ian Farrell explores worship in the early church – both the structure and the purpose – in the hopes of making worship more meaningful to participants and to keep the church focusing on the right stuff.
This is a sermon that was originally presented at Canvas (a Presbyterian church in Irvine, CA), June 15, 2014. To learn more about Canvas, click here!
