WHAT IS WORSHIP?
Worship is the verb of Christianity. It stands as the reason for both our creation and our redemption (1 Peter 2:9). Whatever we do, we are to do all for the glory of God (1 Cor. 10:31). Although in one sense, we believe all of life is worship, we also believe that public worship holds special significance for the Christian Church. Each week on the Lord's Day (the New Testament word for Sunday), God calls His people together to hear His word, to sing His praise, to call upon His Name, and to bring their tithes and offerings before Him in grateful love. Above everything else we want the worship at Christ Covenant to be Biblical.
A DIVINE DIALOGUE
Our worship is a response to God. We seek Him because He first sought us. We speak to Him because He first spoke to us. Worship exists as a holy dialogue between God and man, a divine dance in which God always takes the lead: He speaks, we respond. If you listen carefully, you will see this reflected in our liturgy, almost like a rhythm, a heart beat of devotion. This is why our services begin with a call to worship taken from the Bible. God's commanding voice calls us to sing. The music reverberates in our souls as God's good gift to lift our dusty spirits up to words which always feel beyond us. The songs we sing continue this conversation because they too are filled with Scriptural truth. You will see this devotion to Scripture throughout our service. We strive to read the Bible, preach the bible, pray the Bible, and sing the Bible."
