Come to Worship
Worship is a strange word to our modern ears, and I wonder if it’s what most of us think it is?
It's not the songs we sing, or the postures we assume, or the right words said at the right time. It's what happens when you finally see clearly enough to want the right things.
The people in Scripture who worshipped best were rarely the ones who knew the most theology. They were the thirsty ones. The desperate ones. The ones who'd tried everything else and found it wanting. They didn't worship because they had it together. They worshipped because they'd finally admitted they didn't.
As the year begins, we're asking what worship actually is and what it costs and what it gives. We want to look beyond the sanitised version of worship we perform on Sunday mornings, to the raw, honest, whole-life response to a God who refuses to stay safely theoretical.
Across four weeks, we’ll explore four postures; mind, knees, hands, heart. Each one reveals something about what we actually want, what we're bowing to, what we're reaching for, what we're carrying.
