Coatesville Bible Fellowship Worship

Honor the Lord for the glory of his name.

Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

Psalm 29:2 (NLT)

Perhaps one of the clearest and most concise definitions of biblical worship is that worship is our response to Who God is and what He has done.  Therefore, it is our desire that every aspect of our worship service is one of two things:

1)      a reminder of Who God is and what He has done on our behalf (through the message, music, drama, testimony, and scripture), or;

2)      our genuine response to Him (through singing, prayer, offering, and a renewed commitment to serve Him throughout the coming week)

One of the beautiful characteristics of our worship service is that we have believers from every generation worshiping together on Sunday mornings.  Therefore, our forms of worship are varied – from ancient hymns to modern music, from traditional readings to video clips. The methods vary, but the focus remains the same.

Corporate worship has a very important place in the life of the believer.  But we don’t want “worship” to end with our closing prayer.

The essence of worship is that God is pre-eminent all of the time, not just on Sunday morning. 

In our culture it’s common for us to relegate worship to being only a Sunday-morning activity. It is the singing, prayer, reflection, Word-oriented things we do during our Sunday morning “worship services.”  Nothing more.

John 4:23 tells us that God is seeking “worshippers.”  It does not say that He is looking for “worship.”  Instead of using the word which refers to the action, Jesus used the word referring to the person.  A worshipper does not just offer an occasional sacrifice of praise through song.  A true worshipper lives a life of worship in all that he or she says and does.

(Excerpt from Worship is What?! by Tom Kraeuter)

At Coatesville Bible Fellowship we seek to become worshippers; not limiting our worship to Sunday mornings, but living our lives as a response to who God is and what He has done.
