Worship

“Worship is:
The submission of all our nature to God.
It is the awakening of the conscience by his holiness;
the nourishment of the mind with his truth;
the purifying of imagination by his beauty;
the opening of the heart to his love;
the surrender of will to his purpose
and all this gathered up in adoration, the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable and therefore the chief remedy for that self-centeredness which is our original sin and the source of all actual sin”
William Temple

This is what we were created to do
This is what Jesus redeemed us to do

Lets not reduce it to singing a few songs on Sunday, but rather open our eyes to the endless possibilities of having our hearts enlarge, our affections re-wired, and our lives transformed as we engage with God himself in worship
