Worship is more than music – it’s a lifestyle.

In this new series starting on Sunday 16^th January 2022, we’ll continue our journey of whole life discipleship as we explore different ways of worshipping God throughout the whole of our week. We can worship the Lord in our scattered lives, which includes bringing all our work, our rest and our play as a offering to the Lord. And we can worship the Lord in our gathered moments too, as we come together to offer songs of praise, engage with scripture and equip one another for the week ahead.

“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering.” (Romans 12:1-2, The Message)

Here’s a quick preview of what’s coming up

Worshipping engages our whole lives

Broadening our understanding of worship, as we recognise the importance of gathered worship on Sundays, but also glimpse how the whole of our lives can be offered back to God as a continual act of daily worship. (16^th January 2022)

Worshipping offers us fresh insight

As we gain a new perspective on our daily life of worship, we look again with fresh eyes at our frontlines as places where God is working out His purposes through us. (23^rd January 2022)

Worshipping transforms our everyday actions

Flowing from our core identity as God’s holy, chosen and dearly loved people, we’ll explore how everything we do can be offered as worship to the Lord. (30^th January 2022)

Worshipping inspires our everyday speech

We explore how the words we use shape our worship and our outlook on the world, encouraging us to speak words and prayers that are in line with God’s heart. (6^th February 2022)

Worshipping focuses our wavering hearts

Remembering that all of our worship comes in response to God’s love in first sending Jesus, we refocus our hearts and minds on the God who is love. (13^th February 2022)
