A Word to the Wise: 12 Things I’ve Learned About Corporate Worship (Chuck Lawless)
 

1. Many believers have never considered/studied the importance of worship. 
2. Worship is more than singing. 
3. Yet, song choice matters. 
4. Worship can be legitimately expressive. 
5. The end of the service is just the beginning. 
6. Sometimes the service simply gets us to a place of worship. 
7. The announcements almost always get in the way. 
8. Sin always gets in the way. 
9. Baptism matters. 
10. The Lord’s Supper must be more than an “add on.” 
11. We give too little attention to a response time
12. No response to God is still a response.
