Why Worship The Lord?

We come to worship for many different reasons

• We come to confess our sins and to receive God’s forgiveness.
• We come to give our burdens to the Lord.
• We come to be reminded of the love that is ours in Christ Jesus, a love that is like no other.
• We come to sing God’s praises and to give thanks for His many blessings.
• We come seeking to learn more about God’s will for our lives.
• We come to have our faith strengthened by the Holy Spirit.
• We come the mutual conversation and consolation found in Christian fellowship.
• We come to hear of God’s promises, including those that await their fulfillment at the end of time.
• We come to take hold of the life that is truly life.

Sometimes we come to worship with grateful hearts (Psalm 16:2). 

• At other times, we come with weary souls (Matthew 11:28-29).
• Then there are times we come with broken-hearts and crushed spirits (Psalm 34:18).
• On occasion, we may come burdened by guilt and shame (Psalm 51:3).
• Whatever the case may be, we come today to call on the Lord, our God.
• Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth (Psalm 124:8).
