Worshiping in Your Small Group (by bro. nomer luque)

Worshiping in Your Small Group
by Lynn Mather Breitenbach
Worship in a small group setting can be very different than in the large group setting,
especially if you have folks who are insecure about their own worshiping. The first thing
to do is to put people at ease by letting them know that we are all beginners in worship.
Then help them by having a structure prepared to help them worship. Then model what
you want your small group to do. This may mean that you have to step out of your own
comfort zone. Use this as a challenge to grow deeper in worship.
It might be wise to have a discussion or Bible study on worship one evening in your
small group and then end your meeting in worship. The following is a suggested outline
for a discussion on worship. Here are nine general statements about worship:
1) Worship is inseparable from life.
2) Worship flows out of redemption.
3) Worship is Christ-centered.
4) Worship recognizes Christ's worthiness.
5) Worship involves prayer.
6) Worship is a blending of man and God.
7) Worships speaks to God of God.
8) Worship is celebration.
9) Worship is eternal.
Use this as an outline for discussion. You don't have to use them all; choose which ones
you wish to discuss in your group. Share the statement and ask a series of questions about
that statement. For example,
"Worship is inseparable from life." How is worship inseparable from life? Can you think
of a Scripture that says that? How is this statement true in your own life?
