For those of you who couldn't make it to South Meadows on Sunday, you missed a good gathering. You know that when a preacher drops the f-bomb in a prayer and it goes over okay the congregation must be willing to accept some honest prayers / pray-ers. The message was thought-provoking and delivered in a laid back style that I found refreshing, i.e. it didn't feel like a sermon.
Since I'm on the topic, I would like to raise the question of the purpose behind Sunday morning "worship" services. In particular, I would like to read comments on the view that says worship gatherings are all about God. Is that actually a biblical view of Christian gatherings? Is it God's desire to have people come together to sing several songs (how many of those words are sincere & does sincerety matter? ), hear a sermon (how much do they really impact us?), partake in sacraments, and leave with nothing but superficial interaction b/w congregants (&God?)? Where do we see this in scripture?
(yes, I like brackets)
