Worship Service…

Posted by on Dec 26, 2006 in community, fellowship, service | 2 comments

We have seen various worship services during the last few weeks while my wife is recovering from her ankle surgery.

Several people prepared dinner for us, and many of them did not drop the food off, but stayed with us and spent time with us.

Some friends came over to our house and cleaned while I was at work.

Other friends picked up our children and took them where they needed to go, because Margaret could not drive.

There are many, many, many other acts of service that people did on our behalf. I believe that God sees this type of service as an offering of worship to him. Consider these verses:

Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies–in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 4:8-11 ESV)

Have you participated in a worship service lately?
