Principle Themes to Explore

1. Adoration is one of the most common religious acts. It has always been so, even within very different acts of worship, in the most unexpected forms. It is a deep need.

2. To adore is to seek, listen, meet with God, be united with Him. It is to serve Him.

3. The church, home of worship, ha the mission to educate about and shape worship.

Suggestions for Teaching

Reflect on the role of Christian education with respect to the theme of adoration. A responsibility of the church towards the believer, the family and little ones.

Possible questions for sharing and discussion

2. Why is it important to be worshippers in Spirit and in Truth? What does it mean to be true worshippers?

3. What link is there between Education, Adoration, Sanctification and Joy?

4. How does one educate the church and families about true worship?

5. How can you make true worship be a reason and place for witnessing?
