Grace Baptist Worship Philosophy

Okay, so for a while now, I’ve been writing and refining a worship philosophy for GBC. This Sunday night, I’ll be presenting the philosophy and explaining the various points. So, for your perusal and as a bait for you to come Sunday night to hear me speak, here are the points:

Our worship is Spirit powered and Christ centered.
Our worship must issue forth from sound theology.
Our worship is not music alone, but our music is worship.
Our worship is not seeker driven, but a seeker should see Christ in our worship.
Our worship should be both individual and communal.
Our worship is flawed and will always be such on this side of heaven.
We must be diligent in our worship to not allow idols to enter in.
