Worship 101

Filed in ReligionTags: Christianity

On the cusp of my church's launch of Revolution School, my Wednesday-night Life Group (The Listening Lifestyle) was given an assignment to pray about and listen to God's direction concerning this nascent school of worship. I found myself unable to get past one specific passage:

Therefore I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing, and perfect will.

Romans 12:1,2 (NIV)

Interestingly, today I came across a recent Mark D. Roberts sermon on the same topic.
