Worship

by Alistair Begg

Acts 2:42–47
 (ID: 1980)

The church is, among other things, a worshipping community of believers. Alistair Begg explains that Christian worship has formal and informal dimensions and can be both structured and unstructured, both traditional and spontaneous. The Bible does not set such qualities in contrast but instead encourages us to hold them in balance—which, sadly, many churches fail to do. Striking this balance requires that we, as God’s servants, consecrate ourselves and celebrate God’s praise while God reveals His presence.
