Passionate About His Praise
Here at Lazy Mountain Bible Church our worship consists of passionate praise, bold teaching of God's word, and encouraging community. We desire to be authentic and contagious worshipers, grounded firmly in God's word, worshiping in both spirit and truth. We strive to serve one another in grace and love, putting the needs of others before our own. Here at Lazy, worship does not end or begin with singing. It is to be practiced in every facet of our lives; everything we do as unto the Lord (Colossians 3).
Psalm 96:1-2
“Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth! Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day."
Worship Values
We believe the Bible calls to worship in every aspect of our lives. Here's a breakdown of our worship values here at Lazy...
Big Idea
We find directives for worship all throughout the Bible. We are to let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly (Col 3:16), so that being led by the truth of his word we may be sanctified (John 17:17) and able to teach and build up those around us. We are to admonish one another with psalms and hymns, and spiritual songs that we the Church may be encouraged; stirred up by way of reminder (1 Peter 3) as we sing the truth of God's word. We are also called to sing and make melody in our hearts to God, giving him thanks for everything in the name of Jesus Christ. For in Christ all the promises of God have found their Yes (2 Corinthians 1:20). That is why we the Church can say AMEN! And why do we do it? We do it to glorify God, and to share of his faithfulness, proclaiming the good news and the impact it has had on us. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians 3:16-17
What is Worship?
Yes, singing is often the first thing we think of when thinking of "worship", but worship is not limited to singing praises, but is to be carried out in everything we do, (Col. 3:17). This is why our worship team at Lazy consists of all those who serve in leading our Church into worship; singing and blessing his name, Declaring His glory and salvation; his marvelous works among all the peoples! "For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised” (Psalm 96:1-4). In every area of our ministry, we have the opportunity encourage others to partake in corporate worship with us! "Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised" Galatians 1:10
The Gift of Worship
Our worship team family exists to glorify God and edify His Church, as we lead her into all things biblical "worship". Although, many of us find ourselves on various platforms and stages from week to week, this is not to proclaim or highlight our own abilities or giftings. We worship for God's glory alone, not our own. We hear loud and clear the bible's warnings about seeking approval and glory from men and strive to keep our hearts in check and our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. For by grace we have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast...(Ephesians 2:8-9). Jesus sets the perfect example in John 8:50a and 54a saying, "I do not seek my own glory,...“If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me."" Jesus was the only man deserving glory, yet even he did NOT seek his own glory, only the will and desires of his father. May we be a church that does the same! “For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity or any attempt to deceive, but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts. 5 For we never came with words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness. Nor did we seek glory from people […] So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us” 1 Thessalonians 2:3-6a, 8
