Worship: Revere | Reframe | Reshape
We resemble what we revere and we become what we behold. Worship in general and corporate worship in particular are central to God’s plan of conforming us to the image of his Son. We desire to craft worship gatherings that maximize the opportunity to reshape what we revere so that we will become more like Jesus over time.
The exercise of spiritual gifts, especially prophecy, is a key way god changes us through corporate worship.
