Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss some ways to help inject new life into the weekly worship gathering.
Some Highlights:
- Make sure the gathering is truly God-centered, not man-centered.
- Help people feel the weight and joy of worshiping God, not shallow and joyless.
- Let theological conviction shape every component, not pragmatism.
- Preach the Word with precision, passion, and application, not sloppy, dull, and impractical.
- Celebrate the Lord’s Supper consistently with intentionality, not as an afterthought.
- Do what you can with excellence, not what you can’t and not half-way.
- Keep it simple, not unnecessarily complex.
- Choose songs that are singable and sound in doctrine, not simply what is popular.
- Encourage congregational singing, not disengaged observing.
- Make sacrificial giving a worship opportunity, not something to be avoided.
- Regularly cast vision for how our worship of God must fuel the mission of God to make disciples, never assuming people drift toward the mission.
