The Transforming Power of Worship (9:45 Contemporary)

The Transforming Power of Worship: Luke 6:39-49 These verses provide opportunity for considering how the practice of worship relates to character formation. In worship, Christians regularly confess their own sins, acknowledge their own faults and failures, and are reminded therefore that their own eyes are not free of debris. In worship, the people of God encounter the prophets with their demands for justice and righteousness, listen to Jesus, and learn from the example of his life. In worship, hymns, prayers, and sermons do their work of Christian formation Sunday after Sunday after Sunday. The tie in to Memorial Day is that people who have sacrificed so much did so because they were formed in unique ways…often in worship.
