Previous Episode: Why Christians Suffer

What underlying principles should guide us as we engage in public worship? This is a satement of my personal philosophy that guides me as I construct an order of service. In other words shapes the structure of the liturgy. It is based on the whole of the Bible primarily guide by the New Testament especially the book of Acts and the apostolic epistles which fleshed out how the early disciples of Christ Jesus followed Jesus instruction in his commission.  Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:42; John 4:23-24; Philippians 3:3,;Ephesians 2:18;Hebrews 10:19-25

Matthew 28:18-20

18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

 

Acts 2:42

42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

 

John 4:23-24

23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

 

Philippians 3:3

3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh—

 

Ephesians 2:18

18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.

Hebrews 10:19-25

19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
