Worship is a central theme in the Bible, showcasing a deep connection between believers and God. It is more than just singing hymns or attending church services; worship involves honouring and adoring God with our whole heart, mind, and soul. This act of reverence is an essential part of the Christian faith, playing a crucial role in our spiritual lives.

Throughout the Bible, we find various expressions of worship, from heartfelt prayers to acts of service. These different forms demonstrate how worship can be integrated into every aspect of our lives. Whether it is through song, prayer, or obedience, worship allows us to express our love and gratitude to God.

By understanding biblical worship, we can improve our spiritual walk and deepen our relationship with God. This exploration helps us to see worship not only as a religious obligation but as a joyful practice that enriches our faith. Let’s delve into the importance of worship in the Bible and discover how we can make it a meaningful part of our everyday lives.

Worship is a cornerstone of the Christian faith, reflecting our reverence and adoration for God. In the Bible, worship is depicted as an essential practice for believers, deeply influencing their relationship with God.

Firstly, worship acts as a bridge connecting us with God. It is a way to acknowledge His sovereignty and express our gratitude for His works and blessings. By worshipping, we recognize God’s greatness and submit to His authority, which fosters a closer spiritual connection.

Secondly, worship cultivates a community among believers. In the Bible, communal worship brings people together to share in their faith and support one another. This collective experience strengthens the bond between individuals, fostering unity and mutual encouragement.

Lastly, worship helps in personal spiritual growth. It keeps our focus on God and His teachings, guiding us in our daily lives. Worship provides an opportunity for introspection and repentance, helping believers to align their lives with God’s will.

Understanding the importance of worship in the Bible encourages us to make it a regular practice, enriching our faith and relationship with God.

The Bible showcases various forms of worship, each reflecting different ways to honour and glorify God. Understanding these forms helps us to incorporate diverse expressions of worship into our own lives.

1. Singing and Music: Many Bible passages highlight singing as a form of worship. For example, the Psalms are filled with songs of praise. Music allows us to express our joy and gratitude towards God, making it a powerful worship tool.

2. Prayer: Prayer is a direct line of communication with God. It includes praising Him, confessing our sins, and bringing our needs and the needs of others before Him. The Lord’s Prayer in the New Testament is a key example of how Jesus taught His followers to pray.

3. Reading Scripture: Engaging with God’s Word is a form of worship that helps us understand His will and promises. Regularly reading and meditating on the Bible deepens our knowledge of God and strengthens our faith.

4. Obedience: True worship involves obeying God’s commands and living according to His teachings. The Bible emphasizes that our actions and choices should reflect our devotion to God, such as loving others and practising justice.

5. Sacrifice and Giving: In the Old Testament, sacrifices were a common form of worship. While animal sacrifices are no longer practised, the principle of giving remains. Offering time, resources, and talents to serve God and others is a modern application of this form of worship.

6. Acts of Service: Jesus demonstrated that serving others is a form of worship. Helping those in need, showing kindness, and loving our neighbours are practical ways to worship God in our daily lives.

These various forms of worship illustrate how we can honour God in diverse and meaningful ways. Integrating these practices helps us to live a life of continuous worship, drawing us closer to Him.

The Bible contains many verses that highlight the significance of worship and guide us in how to worship God properly. These verses offer inspiration and clarity for believers.

1. John 4:24: “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” This verse emphasises that true worship comes from the heart and should be genuine and sincere.

2. Psalm 95:6: “Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.” This call to worship shows the humility and reverence we should have while worshipping God.

3. Romans 12:1: “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” Here, the Apostle Paul explains that offering our lives in service and obedience is a form of worship.

4. Colossians 3:16: “Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.” This verse highlights the role of music and teaching in worship.

5. Hebrews 13:15: “Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.” Hebrews reminds us to praise God consistently and openly.

These key verses remind us of different aspects of worship, emphasising sincerity, humility, and continual praise. Reflecting on these Scriptures can enrich our worship experience and strengthen our relationship with God.

Applying biblical worship in our daily lives helps us stay connected to God and live out our faith authentically. Here are practical ways to incorporate worship into everyday activities:

1. Start Your Day with Prayer: Begin each morning with a prayer, thanking God for His blessings and seeking His guidance for the day. This sets a tone of worship and dependence on Him.

2. Read and Meditate on Scripture: Spend time each day reading the Bible. Reflect on God’s words and apply them to your life. This helps you understand His will and align your actions with His teachings.

3. Sing and Praise: Incorporate worship music into your daily routine. Singing praises to God can uplift your spirit and keep your focus on Him throughout the day.

4. Serve Others: Look for opportunities to serve those around you. Acts of service are a powerful way to worship God and show His love to others.

5. Practise Gratitude: Regularly thank God for His blessings. Keep a gratitude journal or take a moment each day to acknowledge His goodness in your life.

6. Obey God’s Commands: Live in obedience to God’s teachings. Make choices that honour Him and reflect your commitment to His ways.

7. Join a Worship Community: Participate in church services or fellowship groups. Communal worship offers support and encourages spiritual growth.

By integrating these practices into your daily life, you can make worship a constant and meaningful part of your relationship with God. Each small act of worship reinforces your faith and keeps you grounded in His love.

Understanding and practising worship is essential for deepening our relationship with God. The Bible teaches us the importance of worship and offers various forms that we can incorporate into our lives. Reflecting on key scriptures about worship guides us in expressing our adoration and reverence for God sincerely.

Applying biblical worship daily enriches our faith journey. Through prayer, reading scripture and Bible verses about strength in hard times, singing praises, serving others, practising gratitude, obeying God’s commands, and joining a worship community, we stay connected to God and live out our faith authentically.

There is an unseen spiritual battle for your life. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of evil.

You and I are engaged in a battle.

You don’t have to look hard to see the forces of evil at work in our world today.

Remember what Paul wrote in Ephesians 6:12? “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

For many of our Global Disciples partners, working where the light and power of Jesus Christ are not known, the battle is often intense.

In a recent training in Central India, we see a glimpse into the battle. Even before the event, Philip, our South Asia director, said that whenever he prayed for the training, he experienced a great heaviness in his head. One morning as he stood to speak, he said it was like an arrow hitting him, a sudden severe headache.

Another leader felt his tongue so tight as he began to teach, he could not speak properly, or concentrate. It took 15 minutes before he felt the words coming out right. Even the translator struggled to the point of collapse.

During a prayer walk in the community, several participants were nearly in accidents; others were within the blast of an explosion but unharmed. And the two leaders described feeling unable to walk; their legs were so heavy and hard to move.

These participants represent several strategic areas with the potential to reach significant people groups who have yet to hear the Gospel of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit was touching lives and drawing them into a deeper commitment and intimacy with God. Something the enemy doesn’t want – and he works overtime to stop and derail God’s work in his territory.

So how do we face this battle?

In Ephesians 6, Paul urges us to stand firm. “Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” The battle rages on…but we have the victory.

Sometimes the path to faith in Jesus is a hard one. But God is in the business of shaping journeys and changing hearts, as you’ll discover in Husna’s story.

When Husna came to a Global Disciples‘ discipleship-mission training in North India, she had a story to tell. Her path to faith in Jesus Christ was not an easy one.

Husna grew up in a Sikh family, zealous for her faith, and devoted to one of the leading gurus in her religion. Then her grandfather, also a Sikh, became very sick, and every doctor they went to see said he wouldn’t survive.

However, a follower of Jesus met Husna’s family and shared about Jesus and His love for them. The Lord touched Husna’s grandmother first; she went to church and placed her faith in Jesus as Savior. Soon, the rest of the family also put their faith in Christ.

All except Husna. She stubbornly refused, going her own way, clinging to Sikhism. Then she too became sick and nothing helped.

Her family prayed for her and shared the Gospel, the pastor visited too, but she still resisted. Only when she was healed did she reluctantly go along to church.

But her change of heart didn’t last long. Husna went back to her old ways even though they didn’t bring her peace or happiness.

Several times she tried to commit suicide. Once she jumped into a deep canal, but some people passing by pulled her out. Another time, she took poison but her family found her, called the pastor, and prayed for her. And God saved her life. This time she gave her life fully to Jesus, and committed to serving Him.

When Husna had the opportunity to take the discipleship-mission training, she leaped at the chance! Through it, God worked in her once rebellious heart, and her commitment deepened. Husna said, “In this training, God has blessed me, made me strong in my faith, and called me to serve Him to the end of my life.”

And God is keeping His Word to Husna. She has married another Christ-follower, and now they serve as church planters among many unreached people in North India.

Praise God for His wonderful work in Husna’s life and the many who were part of her faith journey.

There is power in the Name of Jesus. Power to free a person from spiritual bondage.

Sometimes we lose sight of just how great and powerful our God is. But this story from northeast India reminds us the Lord has victory over spiritual forces around us.

Madhu directs a discipleship-mission training in a spiritually dark area.

He went with the disciple-makers he was training to a village where he prayed with people and they shared the Gospel of Jesus.

They were told of a family needing help. Omana, the young wife in this family, had been bedridden for five months. Her family had spent lots of money consulting doctors and witch doctors but with no result.

Madhu’s team visited the home and told the family about Jesus. And in the name of Jesus, they prayed for Omana. After prayer, her behavior turned strange. She was rolling on the floor, shouting and vomiting and her family tried to restrain her. At one point, she fled from her bed!

The village went looking for Omana and one man found her trying to hang herself from a tree.

He managed to get her loose and they carried her home. Soon after, she told everyone she was leaving, then she went outside and acted like she was starting a motorcycle—but there was no motorcycle.

Finally, Omana fell to the ground unconscious and the demon left her! Her illness and erratic behavior caused by demonic forces had troubled her since childhood. The demons fought to maintain control, but they were no match for the name of Jesus and God’s power.

After she was freed and healed, Omana along with her husband, daughter, and mother-in-law all accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and were baptized. By that time, the whole village witnessed the power of God and marveled at Jesus who could set spiritual captives free. Many of them have been slow to repent and put their faith in Christ. “It will take time,” Madhu said, “and our ongoing prayer.”

God is greater than any spiritual or physical power we encounter. And Jesus is the only One who offers true freedom.

A story of Buddhist monks embracing the good news of Jesus.

A group of young Buddhist monks, dressed in their saffron robes, joined a local karate class in Sri Lanka.

Theo, one of the monks, was struggling terribly. In his efforts to find peace for his soul, he had become addicted to marijuana.

Nothing brought him freedom.

Theo finally approached Kasun, the karate master, for help.

Kasun had the peace and confidence that Theo longed for. Kasun’s demeanor went beyond the years of karate discipline and study—he had surrendered his life to Jesus Christ.

And he had received Global Disciples training there in Sri Lanka.

Kasun had moved to a village that was 100% Buddhist after his Global Disciples training. He decided to offer karate classes to create opportunities to share the Good News of Jesus.

The response was overwhelming! And that’s how he met Theo and introduced him to the Gospel.

Theo, this Buddhist monk with no true understanding of Christ, came to know Jesus as his Savior and Lord through Kasun’s compassionate witness and this karate class.

Then he started proclaiming the Good News of Jesus! Since he was still wearing the robe of a Buddhist monk, it made the local people very angry. So, he recanted his vows to Buddhism, shed his saffron robe, and received the same discipleship-mission training Kasun had taken.

Theo then went back to his home village to share the Gospel. His family members and many others came to Christ. Some experienced physical healing in the name of Jesus. Others were delivered from evil spirits when he prayed.  

When Sri Lanka—an island nation the size of West Virginia—slid into a humanitarian crisis in 2022, and food and fuel grew scarce, Theo, Kasun, and other disciples of Jesus went to work to help their communities find food and basic essentials. They continue to seek ways to share Christ’s love to those around them, even at great personal sacrifice.

When God gives a person a vision for the Kingdom, He may give him unexpected opportunities to influence others.

Andres leads a discipleship-mission training program in the Philippines.

He’s a long-time partner with Global Disciples and he’s seen God work through the disciple-making church planters he’s trained. He’s an enthusiastic mentor for those starting new discipleship-mission trainings. And recently Andres shared his experience and vision with a group of other church planters.

“We have 20 churches in our conference,” Andres shared, “but we have a dream that we will have 100 churches. Last year, we started 26 new fellowships!” While many of these fellowships are still small, that’s significant growth for just 20 churches—more than doubling in a year.

Andres said, “We have learned that if we seek to make disciples first, we will have a church. But if we try to start a church, we will not find disciples.”

They sent one of their disciple-making teams to neighboring Indonesia, to share the Gospel mostly with Muslims.

While they were there, they started some new fellowships.

Andres has significant influence in another area—with local political leaders. “Our place is known for violence during elections,” he said, “and the Lord put it on our hearts to do something. So we called the candidates for mayor, and asked them to sign a covenant that they will not use violence during the campaign but campaign in an honorable way. And if they win, they will allow us to do a Bible study in their office.”

It worked—since all candidates signed on, the elections were held peacefully.

And then, Andres has led Bible studies with employees and leaders in local government, often using Global Disciples materials on leadership development. He said, “They’re not church goers but I have seen God’s hand on them. They embrace and respond to the Gospel message. We also have access to school teachers in our community and we teach them biblical principles.”

Like many others, Andres has the vision to take the Gospel to those still waiting to hear it, no matter where they are in position, influence, or geography.

When God calls us to serve Him, He also deals with our fears and worries.

Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.” – Matthew 28:18-20

Consequently, as disciples of Jesus multiply, and new churches are planted among least-reached peoples, a new need develops.

How do you support the pastor of a newly-planted church?

Newly planted churches are often small fellowships with few assets. And churches who sent the church planter may be limited in their ability to supply their needs.

That’s one of the places where Global Disciples comes in.

We see developing a small business as a way to resolve the issue. It offers a way forward from a problem that often hinders a disciple-maker from fulfilling the mission of sharing the Gospel.

Take Prem, for example. He’s a Nepali church planter with a desire to serve the Lord well. He recently came to a small business training we held. And he discovered something that has renewed his heart and his mind for mission.

Prem said, “I came to faith 7 years ago. My wife and I went to India for seminary. I knew God was calling me for ministry but I didn’t know where or how to start after seminary. I had my family and I had fear of doing ministry and providing for my family. And, I thought, “what would my family and my church think If I’m not earning money?”

“I thank God for the small business development teaching,” Prem continued. “Now I know where and how to start my ministry! I can start a business, and through that I can be a good witness in the community. I will do business and serve God. So my fear is gone!”

Do not fear [anything], for I am with you;
Do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you;
I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation]. – Isaiah 41:10

We often see Global Disciples’ small business development training help bring confidence to church planters.

A small business can be an economic boost. But it also provides a way to effectively interact and witness in a community.

And it gives the church planter—and his family—an identity. And, importantly some peace of mind as they share the Gospel of Jesus with those who have yet to hear it.

Discover the joy of Holy Spirit transformation as churches multiply and lives are changed in Northern India.

Have you ever thought about this? What brings joy to God? More churches planted? Or a life transformed by His Spirit?

Well, both, of course. Church multiplication is awesome! It reflects the growth of the Body of Christ. And churches are made up of those who follow Jesus, who are being renewed and transformed by His Holy Spirit.

In our Global Disciples approach to equipping disciple-makers, we eagerly expect to see the Holy Spirit do his transforming work. And it often begins during the training as those who believe in Jesus discover what it means to His disciple.

That was Reha’s experience. Read on to find out more!

A young woman from Northeast India, her family are not believers or followers of Jesus.

Now, Reha had claimed to be a Christian—she had even been baptized.

But her relationship with Christ was not reflected in her life, her actions, or her words. “I was known as a very bad girl,” she said.

And so, because her behavior didn’t match what she claimed to believe, her family despised and rejected her Christian faith.

In fact, a friend told her about the discipleship-mission training through a local church cluster and Reha decided to attend.

At first, she was shy and struggled with the training. But as time went on, the Spirit began to work in her heart and change her life.

So, one day, she confessed her sins, and decided to fully follow Christ in every aspect of her life. She also wanted to forgive her parents for their treatment of her. As the training director reported, “She was transformed completely!”

In fact, Reha finished the training and outreach, then returned home to her parents to ask them to forgive her.

Her parents saw profound changes in her words, actions, and attitudes and because of the Spirit’s transforming work, they and the rest of Reha’s family soon placed their faith and trust in Christ as their Savior and Lord.

Did this transformation last? Oh yes! Today, Reha is fully committed to Christ and led by the Spirit.

In fact, she has become a godly example for young people in her community, and a leader in the youth ministry in her local church.

And The Holy Spirit is at work, transforming hearts and lives and empowering His people to be living examples of God’s grace.

Did you know that life-changing stories like Reha’s reflect the fruit and impact of Global Disciples’ mission and vision to multiply effective disciple-makers and church planters among least-reached people.

And you can be part of it too—start with THE REACH! Why not become part of our monthly giving community of people who are committed to making it possible for a third of our world to hear about Jesus. Start here.

Joshil’s life taking him skepticism to surrendering to Christ will inspire and challenge you in your own life!

Have you seen God’s hand at work in your life?

How did He bring you to where you are today?

No matter where you are, your age, your job, family, or ministry…you are here today because of God’s faithfulness.

Did you know that?

Recently, I was reading and reflecting on some testimonies given at one of our training events in India.

In fact, stories like this are wonderful reminders of the transforming power of Jesus. Even through times of ridicule and oppression, with very little teaching and fellowship with other believers, God is able to sustain us through His Word and by the Holy Spirit.

Be encouraged and inspired by Joshil’s story!

Meet Joshil! He is one of our newer leaders. He’s in his early 30s, with a background in education, and is a gifted, passionate man of vision.

“I was brought up in a Hindu family,” he said. “A pastor used to come 70 kilometers to my village. And I would try to chase him away! A friend and I sat in the back of the meeting one evening to cause trouble.”

“But this meeting was different,” Joshil said. “The Word of God came like a bullet in my heart, and I was transformed. In fact, I knelt and wept for the first time. I surrendered my life to Jesus.”

However, Joshil’s new life wasn’t easy. In fact, for a year he struggled. His family ridiculed him; he had no local church; the pastor only came occasionally. Yet, there was no one to nurture his new life in Christ. Eventually, he left his family and went to a Bible school. After ten years he made it home again after he got married.

Despite the difficulties, Joshil has grown spiritually, and he knows the importance of equipping others to be disciples of Jesus.

In fact, He said, “In all these years, I can see the hand of God in my life. The change that happened that night sustained me.”

Would you pray for Joshil and others like him as they share the Good News of Jesus and make disciples? Could you thank the Lord for His hand that guides and sustains you and all of us who know and trust Him.
