NCD Church Survey Question 89: I prepare myself to participate in the worship service (Inspiring worship service).
Find a way to get a modern translation of the Bible into the pews of your church.
Use Romans 12:1 to consider what you bring personally to the worship service.
Write down three reasons why you go to the worship service. Invite someone else to do the same and compare notes.
Make eye contact and shake hands or greet someone from your church with whom you have had even the slightest relational tension and ask how they are going generally or with one of their specific areas of interest.
Acquire a high quality illustrated story Bible and begin reading it on your own (and with family or friends) purely for the simple enjoyment of the stories of God's journey with his people.
The purpose of this series is to offer some basic “entry points” for beginning to explore your Minimum Factor graph.
This post is for those whose Minimum Factor is Inspiring Worship Service.
Two initial points need to be made.
First, all the questions relate to the degree to which the worship service is inspiring. The higher a question’s result, the greater its contribution to the service being inspiring.
Make a list of ten reasons for celebration from your life this week (eg. from your work, church, ministry, family and friendships, the Bible, etc.) and share some of those points with at least three people from your church.
Ask your congregation/small group/team/family/friends what unique gift they personally brought to worship this week with which to bless God and encourage the church.
