Applause, everyone. Bravo, bravissimo! Shout God--songs at the top of your lungs! Psalm 47: 1 (The Message)
"In worship the community of God's people assemble to hear God's word spoken in scripture, sermon and sacrament. The faith that is created by that proclaimed word develops responses of praise, obedience, and commitment.
At no time has there ever been a biblical faith or any kind of continuing life in relation to God, apart from such common worship. By persisting in the frequent, corporate worship in which God's word is central, God's people are prevented from making up a religion out of their own private ideas of God."
