What Does it Mean to You?
“Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.” Psalm 100. “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise will continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34. If we are to praise God at all times, then it must be important! What happens when we praise and worship?
Praise sanctifies our lives, it unifies our fellowship with each other, and it magnifies the Lord. More than being an event on Sunday mornings during service, worshiping the Lord is meant to be a continual part of our Christian experience—daily, hourly, minute by minute. It’s a necessary part of faith. Take a look and see what worship means to some of our SWC family:
