Many people mistakenly think Sunday Worship is about “getting” something. People leave and say, “I didn’t get anything out of church today”; or maybe they say they got a lot out of it. Either way, it's the wrong way of looking at it.
Sunday worship is about GIVING. In singing we give praise to God. In tithes & offerings we give acknowledgement that He is the source of all we have, by returning a portion of the blessings He has given to us. In the sermon we give our attention to God’s Word and we give the Spirit permission to work in our heart and mind. In prayer we give our trust and hope that God will lead, provide, deliver, and redeem us in living His way.
Worship is all about giving ourselves to God: expressing our love to him through singing, offering, sermon, and prayer, and finally leaving so we can give to others as he Himself has given to us.
IMHO
