A GREAT CALL TO WORSHIP

How do you view worship? To many, worship has become a mere duty that must be fulfilled. The psalmist would beg to differ. Worship is anything but routine!

“Oh come, let us sing to the LORD!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.”
Psalm 95:1-2
