The gospel is what we proclaim and sing in worship and is what calls us together each week. Jesus Christ is at the center and His word informs our worship. Every element in the service must be measured against God’s revelation in the Scriptures. Are we singing, saying, and hearing what is true? Every Sunday is another opportunity to sing about the cross, glory in our Savior, and marvel at the good news of the gospel.</p> <p>What makes worship possible is the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

"21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."

Corporate worship is set apart from individual worship in its focus on edification. Edification literally means to build up to bring someone up toward Christ likeness. The writer’s principle in Hebrews 10 is that corporate worship must strive for edification of the saints. This means, among other things, that the worship service will not only be Word-centered, but also full of words.

He is the most important audience at every service, gathering, or event. Corporate worship is meant to be an anticipation of the heavenly gathering of the Saints. Every week we gather brings us one Sunday closer to the day when God will gather his people from every tribe, language, people, and nation to worship the Lamb who was slain (Revelation 5:10–12). Congregational worship like we’ve never experienced before. We then should direct all our attention to the throne to sing of Christ’s work. Let's gladly take full advantage of every opportunity God gives us to gather together to make much of the name of Jesus for His glory and Name's sake.<br><br>Music by Matt King / Shore of Mercy <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/rest-wake-ep/1470165749" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://music.apple.com/us/album/rest-wake-ep/1470165749</a></p> <p>Worship is ultimately for God.
