How is your week going? I can’t believe that it is Thursday already.

This Sunday we continue our Strengthening the Heart of The Fellowship series, as we look at the theme of Whole Life Worship.

A Trichotomy?

The theme of Whole Life Worship suggests three possible routes we might explore on Sunday.

  • Whole Life Worship as the giving of all we are to God.
  • Whole Life Worship as the perseverance of the saints – being in it for the long haul.
  • Whole Life Worship as a description of a theology of work.

Improvising on Robert Frost’s famous poem I find myself not with two roads diverging, and sorry I could not travel both, but three.

The Other Six Days.

It would be great to think about Whole Life Worship as both giving of all we are to God, and as perseverance, but those are “roads” to be travelled on another Sunday.

This Sunday, I want us to think about worship on the other six days of our lives. We have at QPBC used the language of Frontlines to describe these other six days. Some of you, at your Life Group, may have used LiCC’s Life on the Frontline or Fruitfulness on the Frontline material.

Our Frontlines are where we spend most of our time, they are places often of challenge and yet potential, places where we are in proximity to people who don’t yet know Jesus and therefore places of mission.

The Bigger Picture.

I think it is reasonably easy to grasp the idea that our Frontlines can be places of mission, and I find LiCC’s 6M model very helpful [Click the link to explore this more].

I think it helps give us a bigger picture of what Jesus’ mission in our world is. But does this include worship? Is worship just something we do in church, or in our “time with God”, or can our work, or volunteering, or making dinner and washing the dishes be worshipful?

What do you think?

We’ll explore this a little more on Sunday.

See you then.
