V. Biblically Balanced Personal and Corporate Worship.
A. John 4:23-24 (ESV) “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. [24] God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
B. Personal-regular worship and praise alone with God.
C. Corporate –regular worship and praise with other believers in the church.
D. Bob Logan explains that true biblical worship is both celebrative (touching the heart) and reflective (touching the mind)
E. Key questions:
1. Are the believers in the church taking time to worship God personally?
2. Is the church helping them in this?
3. Is corporate worship celebrative engaging the heart?
4. Is corporate worship reflective engaging the mind?
5. Are people learning more about God through worship?
6. Does the worship bring the believers into a greater experience with God?
7. Is the corporate worship balanced between receiving from God and responding to him?
