“What is Worship?” – Sermon Audio

Here is the audio from my September 27th, 2009 sermon titled “What is Worship?” The sermon was not based on a particular text – which in retrospect I find to be a bit of a weakness. You can listen to the audio below or download the MP3 and listen on whatever device you normally use. Enjoy!

    Michael,
    Great stuff!
    Have you read Beale's latest "We Become What we Worship" – a very incisive look at the biblical understanding of idolatry?
    Also, I can't recommend highly enough "Desiring the Kingdom" by James K.A. Smith – a great phenomenology of worship and how worship is perhaps THE formative practice for Christians (in terms of true worship and idol worship)

    I have not read either of those.

    Agreed – worship is the core. Worship just means singing though, right?

    What do you think God is doing when we worship?
