This article is a follow-up to my article "The Biblical Story of Worship In Less Than 1,000 Words". Biblical history ended with the completion of the book of Revelation (96 A.D.) and the death of the apostle John (98 A.D.).

Jesus’ life is the supreme example of worship. He is the lesson. Everything Jesus did and said was a demonstration of true worship.

One of the more dangerous things in life is to presume we correctly understand something, but discover, in fact, that we only do so partially. So what is true worship and how do we as the Church biblically align our understanding and worship life together that rightly honors God?

Quite some time ago I was preparing to present a worship seminar at a church. As I was setting up my equipment, the minister of music assisted me. At one point he casually mentioned, “I’m so glad you’re here. The people of our church seem to have the idea that worship equals the sermon and the sermon equals worship.

Of all the months, worship may be most like January. Worship is a turning of our hearts from the staleness of our own seasons to God’s ever-springing presence. Worship is the turning of our steps from the worn paths of our sins, depression, and disease into His forgiveness, grace, and endless joy.
