My brief series of messages dealing with worship continued this Sunday with “How is God worshiped?” In this sermon, I’ve attempted to offer a biblical perspective on the question of ‘worship style’ that so frequently creates conflict in churches. I’m blessed to be in a church that is not in a conflict over these issues; and yet, I’m convinced that there is some tension not too far below the surface. Like many churches, we’ve got both: people who grew up in and long for worship that is rich in reverence and tradition and people who yearn for worship that is energized by new expressions and casual interaction. As someone who has benefitted from the blessings of both these styles, I present my sense that we need not choose between them but can embrace a ‘blended’ style that claims (or reclaims) the broad range of Christian worship practice.
