Is There a Biblical Pattern for a Worship Service? w/ Tom Wadsworth || S03:E04
from Exploring Faith, Pursuing Grace · host Daniel Rogers
In today's episode, Daniel Rogers interviews Tom Wadsworth concerning his doctoral level research on the early Christian assemblies. Contrary to what most Christians assume, the New Testament never actually talks about a worship service. For those of us raised within the Churches of Christ, this means there is no biblical pattern for a mandatory worship service with five ritualistic acts. Instead, the early church gathered to encourage one another and to build each other up. In the show notes below, you'll find access to Tom's website and YouTube channel along with a self-guided study on "worship" in the New Testament that will take you through five important Greek words.
