Why do we Worship?

To worship is to be human; it is what we were created to do. As one atheist famously (and curiously) observed, “There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship.” He went on to say that if you worship anything in this world, it will “eat you alive”…Yikes! However, worshiping God leads to life, fruit, and joy. But what exactly is worship? How can we worship God in all areas of our lives—not only singing? What does God intend to accomplish in us through worship? And how does worship of our triune God lead to life? One of our worship leaders from our Mill Creek campus, Eric Elftmann, responds to these questions.

A Prayer for Today
Triune Lord—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—you are holy; you are perfect; you are beautiful; you are the King of kings. Father, thank you for your constant faithfulness, provisions, and love. Jesus, thank you for giving up your life so that I can experience the fullness of life in you. Holy Spirit, thank you for your work in my heart and your daily fellowship with me. Blessed Trinity, reign as Lord of my life! May my entire life be a sweet and pleasing aroma of worship to you. Give me a worshipful heart today, that I may see and savor Jesus afresh. Amen.
