Five Worship Misconceptions
An article by 
One of our Worship Directors, Ryan Axtell wrote up a great article about some common misonceptions about Worship! We wanted to share this great post with you! Here’s a brief exerpt, and follow the link at the bottom to check out the full article.
I often incorrectly measure the quality of worship using those elements. I processed this with some of our worship team members and wanted to share some of the misconceptions we uncovered in our understanding of worship.
Worship is music.
Worship is the the willful and humble submission, or obeisance, to the Father. As Romans 21:1 says, we are “to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God- this is your spiritual act of worship.” It is a lifestyle.
In our church services or worship gatherings, “worship” usually refers to the music set. Our purpose in life becomes compartmentalized into the 20 minutes before the message and the closing song. What about prayer, the message, and application? Those don’t count?
Music is of course an incredible venue for worship. Throughout scripture, God meets his people and is glorified through our praises. We draw close through music…it touches our hearts and brings understanding that other mediums can’t. While music is a part of how we express worship and experience God, it by no means defines it.
