Overview

Many churches seem to struggle with a worship DIS-order these days. We often focus on getting the best technology and musicians money can afford or seeking the emotional experience, but is this what God wants for His church? There is a common misconception that the Bible does not give specific and clear instruction to the church regarding our church worship services, so we try our hardest to put together services that honor God and yet appeal to the people. Unfortunately, raised hands and emotional responses are not necessarily the best measure of true worship and there just might be a better way - God's way! God gave man the instructions and skill to build His church on earth in the book of Exodus... called the tabernacle. As we walk through God's church, we see how He embedded a great deal of symbolism that points us forward to His Son, Jesus Christ. Do you want to know what the church looks like from God's perspective? Worship (dis)Order will take you-step by-step through the tabernacle and you will get a glimpse of the order of worship that God planned! In God's tabernacle, we experience His holiness, mercy, forgiveness, and, ultimately, His restoration. We see our repentance, forgiveness, baptism and communion. When we worship from God's point of view, He is glorified and we are changed-but without the often-used gimmicks and hype that draw people to themselves rather than God.
