This week after church, take a few minutes and truly ask yourself how worship was for you. Think a little deeper. And as you do, let the driving away be an opportunity for growth. _MichaelKelley
These are all one-word answers you might respond with to this question:I’ve used all these words at points during the last 40 or so years when I’ve been regularly attending Sunday morning worship services. And none of those answers are wrong necessarily. The great majority of those worship services have indeed been good. Or if not good, ten at least fine. More occasionally powerful. Almost always uplifting though.
We learn, and are reminded, through the conversations we have. We learn and are reminded through the lyrics of the songs we sing. We learn and are reminded through the passing of the offering plate. But here’s the thing – unless we rehash what we have learn, unless we are able to re-articulate it to someone else, it’s not going to stick. Asking yourself this question helps solidify the work of the Holy Spirit during that pivotal hour or two.
Serving can look different for different people. Perhaps you contributed in the worship service by singing, and singing proudly. This is a contribution because I need to hear you sing, and you need to hear me sing because when we sing, we remind each other that we are believing this whole thing together. It could be that you contributed because you went out of your way to meet someone that was sitting by themselves.
