What is worship?

"Worship is the means by which we interrupt our preoccupation with ourselves and attend to God." - John Pritchard

"It's our response to even just the smallest glimpse of Jesus.. and as we respond in awe, in praise and action, He reveals a little more of Himself.. And we are once again ruined for anything else." - Ben Fielding (Hillsong)

"Saying Thankyou to our maker." - Martin Smith (Delirious)

"Worship consists of the words, the walk, the works and the wallet" - John Wimber

"A gifted, choice." - Eoghan Heaslip

"The starting place for worship is that we belong to the Lord. We're bought with a price. It's our joy and privilege to honor him in all things. Our God-honoring life is expressed in the way we use our time, energy and money. It's expressed in the way we treat people, both at home and in the workplace. It's expressed in how we plan for the future, how we prioritize our activities. To worship is to have an ongoing conversation with the Lord all day, everyday. Much of the time that unspoken 'conversation' will be playing in the back of our mind while we go about our business. To worship is to have a "Godward life". To worship is to be attentive to the voice of the Holy Spirit and quick to respond to his nudging - the ideas he plants in our mind." - Andy Park

"...to put it simply, to me worship is our hearts response to our amazing God." - Lex Buckley

"Our natural response when we realise the majesty, awesome power, grace & love of Jesus our God." - Pete Wilson (Hillsong)

"Becoming a living embodiment of our love for God, in the way we relate to him, the way we sing, we think, we speak and live." - Vicky Beeching

"Worship belongs to God - it begins and ends with Him." - Nick Herbert

"The response of the heart in revelation to the TRUTH of Jesus Christ." - Darlene Zschech (Hillsong)

"Our all-consuming response to the all-deserving revelation of God." - Matt Redman

"We worship what we value most in life...what consumes our thoughts, our imaginations, our time, our hearts... that's worship. it's all of us, every part... it's done together as a congregation and individually as well. " - Chris Tomlin (Passion)
