What do you think of when you think of worship? What is worship like for you in your church? In your community?

Love - In worship, understand that God is Love. What God has done for us, he has done in love. When we worship, we must love God by giving freely of ourselves as he has given freely to us.
Adoration - What has God done for us? Sometimes, we ask "What has God done for me lately?" But how can we say that of God, who has given us everything we have? God's breath runs through us, and we have to adore him because of that.
Blessed - God has blessed us with so much. We bless God back in our worship.

Levels of Worship
-Praise
-Worship
-Glory
Pho has basic ingredients that make it pho. There's noodles, soup, meat, cilantro, etc. Take away one ingredient, and it's no longer pho. Likewise, worship can't exist without all three levels of worship. So what do these levels mean?

Think of it in terms of being in a relationship
Praise - Talking to God. You let God know how you feel about him.
Worship - Like that level where you fall in love.
Glory - You really feel God. No words are necessary. You are in God and God is in you.

Sometimes, we don't know what to say to God. Let God move through you. Let him speak through you.

We sing in worship, but singing isn't the only way to worship God. We can praise him in dance, in words, or in any of the work we do and create. Worship isn't just one action. Worship is a lifestyle. Worship is a taste of what our life will be like in Heaven.

Eucharist

"Who is your daddy, and what does he do?"
-Believe it or not, this sort of relates to the Eucharist.
-Who is God, and how does he show his Fatherhood to us?
-In scripture, God is love. How does God show that love to us?
 Eucharist is a sacrament
-Sacrament: a visible sign of God's invisible grace.
   -We can't see God, but he left us visible signs of him.
   -"Reality imbued with the hidden presence of God."
   -Sacramentality: Everything in creation has the potential to show God's glory, because imbued in it is goodness itself.
   -In the timeline of our lives, Sacraments are times when God physically enters in a real tangible, visible way.

The Eucharist is not just bread and wine. Matthew 26:26-28.
   -He said this is my body and blood, not this is a symbol of my body and blood.
   -1 Corinthians 11:23-27
     -It's not just bread, and it's not just wine. It must be cared for with great reverence.
     -Transubstantiation: Thomas Aquinas - the substance transforms into the Body and Blood of Christ. The accidents remain the same, but the reality has changed.
       -There is substance (essence/being/reality/what's at the heart), and then there are accidents (physical nature/tangible features)
     -How does this happen? Priest says the Epiclesus. But nobody knows when it happens or how it happens, but only that the Holy Spirit makes it happen.
       -It's a mystery. Are we okay with that mystery?
     -Consubstantiation: body and blood coexist with bread and wine.

[UWCB] Eucharist

Do you know what transubstantiation is?  (I mean, besdes being a really fun word to say.)  Do you know what a humeral veil is used for?  Do you know any good synonyms for "thanksgiving?"  (I'll give you a hint... it's in the subject line.  UWCB? haha)  Are you doing anything cool this Wednesday night?  Did you know UWCB has a guest speaker who studied religion extensively at UW?

 

If you answered "no" to any or all of these questions, then Campus Based this Wednesday is for you!  Why?  Because this Wednesday night, a very reputable guest speaker is going to talk all about transubstantiation, humeral veils, and thanksgiving!  And here's the best part... it's COOL!  How can you get in on all the fun?  Just come to UW South Campus Center, room 346 at 6:00 PM.  Don't miss out!  God bless!

 

Questions? Comments? Concerns? PRAYER REQUESTS? E-mail us or... tweet us? (Is that how you say it?)
