How We Worship: The Call to Worship (Message 1 of 10)

Psalm 95:1-7 HOW WE WORSHIP: The Call to
Worship

This message is a the beginning of a series of sermons I am preaching on the basic elements of worship. Over the course of this series we will basically work our way through the liturgy that we generally follow during our public worship services. The series of sermons will pretty well work our way through the parts of worship as they occur.

Fundamental to life is the worship. Hence, the importance of this subject cannot be overstated. In our present study from Psalm 95, I realized later, I didn't officially read the Scripture reading but just introduced it and then worked our way through the text.
