Dedication of the Wall

June 30, 2024 • Ron Moore • Nehemiah 12:27–47, Romans 12:1–2, Isaiah 40

The word worship is a shortening of an old English word, “worthship.” It means to show something’s worth, to demonstrate something’s value, and to reveal something’s greatness. Christians, however, don’t worship something but Someone—the God of heaven and earth.


A Definition of Worship:

Worship: Honoring God moment-by-moment in response to his work and his Word.


Worship is such an all-consuming part of the Christian life that in Scripture, there are many words to describe it. Here are seven Hebrew words used to explain aspects of worship.


Halel—to boast, rave, celebrate.

Zamar—to celebrate in song and music.

Tehillah—breaking out in spontaneous song.

Shabach—address in a loud tone. To shout. To express triumph.

Towdah—Thanksgiving for things not yet received.

Yadah—to extend hands

Barak—to kneel
