Worship
Have you ever wondered if there's more to worship than what happens on a Sunday morning? In this course, we'll dig into what the Bible actually teaches about worship — tracing it from Genesis to Revelation, learning from the traditions of the Church, and asking what it all means for how we live and gather before God today.

Humans Are Worshipers
Human beings are worshippers created to behold, adore, and glorify God. Worship must not be reduced to style, preference, or human enjoyment, but must be shaped by Scripture and directed toward God Himself. True worship is offered through Jesus Christ, formed by the whole counsel of Scripture, and expressed in ways that please God.

Humans Are Worshipers- Pt2
Worship involves the whole person because human beings are both body and spirit. The Old and New Testaments together show that God cares about both the inward heart and the outward forms of worship. True worship is offered through Christ with reverence, awe, obedience, love, and bold confidence before the throne of grace.

Worship As Physical Gesture
Biblical worship involves the whole person, including both inward devotion and outward physical expression. Scripture presents worship not only as singing or prayer, but also as bowing, serving, offering, and presenting our bodies to God. As a holy priesthood, believers come to church not as consumers but as participants who minister to the Lord and to one another.

Yahweh
Yahweh reveals Himself as the personal, faithful, holy, and gracious God who desires covenant relationship with His people. Jesus is Yahweh revealed in the flesh, showing that the same God of mercy, justice, and faithfulness is present throughout both Testaments. True worship responds to God’s self-revelation with praise, reverence, humility, faith, and obedience.

Who Do We Worship?
Christian worship is directed to the one Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Scripture openly directs praise to the Father and the Son, while the Holy Spirit is also worthy of worship because He is fully Yahweh and shares the same divine nature. True Trinitarian worship honors the unity of God while also recognizing the distinct work of each Person in salvation and in the life of the Church.

The Subjects of Worship
Scripture teaches that although salvation is freely offered through grace, acceptable worship requires a heart that responds to God with faith, humility, and obedience. From Cain and Abel to the warnings of the prophets, God consistently rejects worship that is disconnected from righteousness and genuine devotion. True worship unites inward purity, outward expressions of reverence, and a life that reflects God's character.

True Worship in the New Testament
True worship in the New Testament is made possible through Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice has opened the way for believers to approach God's presence. Although salvation is received by grace, acceptable worship requires a sincere heart, holiness, repentance, and obedience that reflect a transformed life. As a royal priesthood, Christians are called to worship the Triune God with reverence, thanksgiving, and the offering of their entire lives.

"WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WORSHIP GOD?"
Before we can worship well, we need to understand what worship actually is. We'll build a biblical foundation from the ground up — exploring how God's people have always approached Him, what the Church has learned across the centuries, and why that foundation matters for what we do every week.
THEOLOGY
An introduction to the historical and cultural world behind Romans. You will discover who Paul was writing to, why he wrote, and what the tensions between Jewish and Gentile Christians reveal about the gospel Paul preached.
IDOLATRY
Worship isn't just about what we do in church — it's about what we give our hearts to every day. In this segment, we'll take an honest look at the danger of false worship, tracing idolatry through the Bible and asking a question we all need to sit with: what are we becoming through the things we worship?
doxology
God gave us the Psalms and the songs of Scripture for a reason — they show us how to bring our whole selves before Him. We'll explore the poetry, prayers, and canticles of the Bible and let them teach us what our worship should sound like, feel like, and reach for.
