Why do we worship together?

Why do we worship together? It is more profound than singing songs on a Sunday. Worship is God’s design for His people. In worship we give ourselves to God through Christ, by the Spirit, and in the company of His church.

This week the Laneway Worship Team, Laura, Rhys, and Sharon, shared from Scripture and their own stories about the beauty and power of gathered worship. Drawing from Psalm 96, Hebrews 10, and Revelation 4-5, they reminded us that worship begins with God’s worthiness, not our feelings. As we lift our voices, we respond to His glory, we strengthen and encourage one another, and we proclaim to the world that the Lord reigns.

When we sing together, we are united in truth and witness, and we join with the eternal chorus of heaven. God’s presence is made real among us and we receive a foretaste of the day when Christ will return and all creation will worship Him forever.
