5. The goal of worship
To bring a person to the point of changing their life so that God becomes “Lord over,” “First in,” or “victorious through” that immediate event and following.
This sometimes happens in singing,
sermons but most often through prayer.
EVERYTHING in the service must
make this happen.

6. Worship
This is not something that happens just once but is on-going and sought for throughout life.
It is most highly valued by God when a sinner arrives at this point but it is expected of the saints.
Church services strive hard to lead as
many sinners into this experience
as possible by demonstrating the
awesome power of this experience
during all that is done in the service –
Lights, banners, bulletins, sound, song,
prayers, video, TV, drama, announcements,
offerings, sermons, altar-calls, etc.
