Snapshot of Honour

This honour is gives an introduction to Christian Worship. As Christians, we worship our God. So it makes sense that we examine His scriptures to help us understand who our God is and to find out about Christian worship. This honour is based on the Scriptures. First we look at the big picture as events unfold over time. The aim is to help us get an appreciation of our wonderful, loving God. We look at the meaning of the word worship and reflect on examples of worship through the scriptures. There are some useful tips. Finally theres the personal, practical part personal worship and how you can help enrich the worship experience for others. Dont hold back!
