“WORSHIPfirst”- Matthew 6:33
First Assembly of God
The church is in constant pursuit of the heart of worship. Together, we journey...to learn more and more of what it really means to bring meaningful offerings to the heart of God - thoughts, words, deeds and songs - the whole of our lives as a response to His immeasurable worth. – Matt Redman, The Heart of Worship Files
Two Foundations to Worship
1. Relationship – One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. (Psalms 27:4)
2. Revelation – …he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him (John 14:21)
Reasons for Congregational Worship
1. To help people come into the presence of God
2. To establish the throne for the Lord
3. To celebrate the finished work of Jesus Christ
4. To glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
5. To encourage the ministry of the Word of God.
6. To help God’s word get into the people’s minds and hearts
7. To stimulate the exercise of the gifts of the Spirit.
8. To fight spiritual battles and defeat the enemy of our souls
9. To encourage unity in the church.
10. To remind believers of the final outcome of history.
Purpose for the Worship Team
1. To usher in the presence of God in our services and other special events.
2. To equip those with the gifting, desire and calling to worship in the local church through discipleship opportunities such as seminars and teaching.
3. To support the Pastor and the leadership of the church in their efforts to bring the Gospel of Jesus to every person that enters the doors of First Assembly.
