Effective worship aided and led by the Holy Spirit, skillfully combines biblical truth with music to magnify the worth of God and the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, thereby motivating the gathered church to join him in proclaiming and cherishing the truth about God and seeking to live all of life for the glory of God.

Congregational praise and worship in spirit and truth doesn’t just “happen.” God can at any moment choose to manifest His presence in our midst, but He has identified specific activities and attitudes to which He generally responds. Sincere praise invites His activity and involvement. Thus, there must be intentionality and purpose behind what a worshiper does.

Everything ultimately GLORIFIES God (for example, all sin and rebellion is eventually judged by God, thus magnifying His holiness, but not everything WORSHIPS God. Worship is all I know of me RESPONDING to all God has shown me of Him. This response involves a choice, and the use of my mind, will, and emotions. Therefore worship is neither automatic nor mindless – it’s intentional, purposeful, and very much involves the mind. The purpose of worship is to enter into a fresh awareness of who God is, what He has done, and how that affects our past, present, and future.
