God of Justice

The first time you heard about it, you may have been turned off. There is nothing attractive about a wild-eyed, frizzy-haired, Old-Testament-passage-quoting stranger with a finger in your face telling you that social justice is the only way to Jesus.

Uniformity in Worship

Indeed, unity in corporate worship is a high and noble goal. However, the Bible does not say that group worship must always be expressed in a uniform way. Deciding exactly where to draw the line against individuals expressing worship differently in a corporate setting is very difficult—perhaps impossible—to pinpoint with any precision. If someone sings a harmony line instead of the melody, is that disunity?

Flow

The flow of a worship service is a journey. As with any journey, we have an initial starting point. It is essential to meet with your pastor before you do anything else in planning your flow.
