Elements of Worship - Southside Christian Church

Pr - Prayer

November 12, 2017 • Brian Gosser

A life devoted to Prayer is a life devoted to worship.

Th - Thankfulness

November 5, 2017 • Brian Gosser

Worship originates from thankfulness. Thankfulness for who God is, and what he has done for us drives our response of sacrificial living in worship.

Di - Discipleship

October 29, 2017 • Brian Gosser

Discipleship takes place when a believer combines biblical instruction with a submissive heart leading to spiritual transformation.

Ev - Evangelism

October 22, 2017 • Kelly Blodgett

When we spread the Christian Gospel by public preaching or personal witness and give Jesus credit for everything good in our lives, we elevate him and set him up above In Worship. When we do this we also grow closer to God and our faith in him grows.

Se - Service

October 15, 2017 • Brian Gosser

Using our God given gifts in service to others is a key element of our worship.

St - Stewardship

October 8, 2017 • Brian Gosser

Financial giving is a form of worship and reflects the attitude and maturity of our heart.

Sc - Scripture

October 1, 2017 • Brian Gosser

The role of the sermon/study of scripture in worship is to help motivate us to fall deeper in love with God, and as we fall deeper in love with God we will want to know more about him, and align our life with his (becoming more obedient to his Word).

Co - Communion

September 24, 2017 • Brian Gosser

Communion is an act of unity, a remembrance of what Christ accomplished upon the cross, and a proclamation of that sacrifice until He returns.

Ce - Celebration

September 17, 2017 • Brian Gosser

Celebration is a vital part of our worship, but it must be backed up with a rightly focused heart and good deeds for the purpose of glorifying God.

What is Worship?

September 10, 2017 • Brian Gosser

Worship is an act of the heart leading to life change.
