Worship again

Sunday in Bible study we focused on worship. We mainly talked about corporate worship. We used Acts 2:42-47 as a starting point and this verse stood out:

Acts 2:43

Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.

There was a sense of awe, amazement, and expectation about what God was doing in their midst. They gathered daily for worship, we have trouble with once a week. Verse 46 tells us they came together with gladness and sincerity of heart. They were excited about every chance to worship God. When they came together they expected God to be present and do something. Too often I think we approach worship with a ho-hum attitude instead of being excited about what God is going to accomplish in us. We expect little and that is just what we get.

Only when we approach worship with awe, a deep sense of reverence and expectation of an encounter with God, will He be stirred to do signs and wonders among us. When that happens we will not be able to contain it in four walls. It will spill out into the streets and communities where we live and our world will be changed.

Are you ready for that?
