A couple of weeks ago, we wrote about the vertical
nature of worship in the opening portion of the service
our attention in music and spoken word being Godward.
What is important to realize is that worship is dialogical,
that is, God speaks to His people as well. Think of our
worship as an ongoing conversation with God. That
is why we do not encourage comments between the
various acts of worship. After the opening hymn, the host
pastor goes directly into the Ascription as our attention
remains heavenward. The last line of the hymn is King
enthroned above all praises, save your people, God, we
pray. The following words continue that prayer as we
offer more praise to our King. At several times during the
service today, God will most likely speak to you and you
can respond in your heart. It may come in a song text, a
phrase in a prayer or anthem, words from Scripture, or
a thought expressed in the sermon. Or, it may come in
some other way. The point is that we are fully, consciously
engaged in worship. The conversation with God is
transforming. Not only does God speak to individual
people, He speaks to whole congregations as they listen.
What will God say to us today? Weve come to express
our love for Him, and to hear Him speak. - Dr. Dan Sharp
