SERMON RECAP

Title: Cultivating Worship

Text: 2 Samuel 6

Outline:
I. Question: How can we cultivate worship as a church?
II. By how we approach worship (6:1-9)
III. By how we respond to grace (6:10-15)
IV. By how we look at one another (6:16-23)

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. How have you heard "worship" defined or described?

2. How have you seen the church best facilitate or cultivate worship?

3. What does it look like to take worship for granted, or to assume we're doing it right because we have "good intentions"?

4. How do God's commands and relying on grace work together? How do you/we tend to distort that relationship?

5. Share an experience where either you made judgments about someone else's worship or you were judged for your expression of worship.

6. How do preferences, that may be fine preferences to have, corrupt unity in the body?

7. What preferences are most difficult for you to let go of? Especially in musical worship? What does it look like to combat wrong thinking to pursue unity?
