Episode 76 - Why Do We Gather For Worship?

At the start of a new season, Paul Arneberg and Pastor Brent Kompelien consider biblical reasons and intentional strategies for why and how we gather for weekly corporate worship services. Corporate worship is a whole-family, intergenerational gathering that “breathes in” the Word and Spirit of God and then “breathes out” His grace and mission to our various other spheres throughout the rest of the week. Pastor Brent calls this a “gather and scatter” strategy, likening the rhythm of the Christian faith to a vital, living, breathing faith! Elements of the order of Sunday services are discussed under the overall strategy of revelation (making known God’s truth), apprehension (letting His truth sink into our hearts and minds), and response (gratitude, praise, and surrender to the Lord). Featured Scriptures include Heb. 10:24-25, Rev. 5, Rom. 10:17 & 12:15, and Col. 3:16-17.
