I
once had a conversation with a gentleman concerning the type and style of music
played during the worship services. He
was very insistent upon a piano and organ playing only hymns found within the
hymnal. All other music or instruments
were not appropriate to be used during a worship service. The reasoning behind his thinking was that
true worship of God can only be done through certain types of music and
instruments.
Clearly
this man misunderstood the meaning of the worship of God. Worshiping Him is far greater and deeper than
music, singing, and instruments. In John
4:1-45 Jesus uses a conversation with a Samaritan woman living deeply in sin to
teach her (and subsequently us) about true worship of God.
Join
us this week as we read and study John 4:16-26, seeking where, how, and whom we
are called to worship. May Jesus’ words
to this woman drive us to understand and experience the glory and greatness of
the one whom we worship.
Striving to know Christ and make Him known,
Mark
