Men and Women of Worship

The Priority of Worship

God calls men to lead their homes in worship.

I will that men pray everywhere. We don’t just worship when we gather, we are to worship in all the locations that we find ourselves. Psalm 134 “Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, who stand by night in the house of the Lord! 2 Lift up your hands to the holy place and bless the Lord! 3 May the Lord bless you from Zion, he who made heaven and earth!”

Men are to worship out of reverence and sound doctrine, not the desire to rule over others.

The Propriety of Worship

The Ephesian cultic worship of Artimis caused problems in the order of some of the churches at Ephesus.

The Preeminence of Christ in Worship

1 Timothy 3:14–16 “14 I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, 15 if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth. 16 Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.”
