Discussion Questions

1. What’s one place or activity that makes you feel close to God? 

2. Many Christians think of worship as what we do when we sing songs before the message. This is an incomplete view of what worship is. Why is it problematic to think (and talk) about worship involving only music?

3. What does it mean when worship is defined as “saying, ‘yes’, to God”?

4. What is the problem when we view the worship service as a time to receive rather than to give?

5. What does it mean to worship in spirit and in truth?

6. What is the difference between asking the question “What was there about the worship service today that you think God didn’t like?” versus “What did you like about the worship service?”

7. What is the danger of making worship about our preferences instead of God’s glory?

8. How does worship help us keep God at the center of our lives?
