Worship
Speaker:
Dr. Gary Parrett These days the American church is embroiled in the "Worship Wars." Hymns or choruses? Loud or soft? Dancing or sitting still? Perpetual music or periods of silence? The War will never be settled as long as it is about personal musical tastes.
Dr. Gary Parrett shows us that Worship is the process of God's revelation and our appropriate, faithful response. We invite you to listen to this series of lay lectures to learn more about what worship truly is and how we might implement his practical suggestions in our own churches.
