Do I have to change, too?

--copied from another church's website

"There is no one biblical form for worship. In the Bible, worship included the very formal expressions of worship in the tabernacle and temple as well as very celebratory and spontaneous worship of the people in various situations. The annual feasts and celebrations serve as a good example. While there were strong traditions concerning what was done and how it was done, there was great diversity from one feast to the other. There was no form that dominated every worship experience. The New Testament Church clearly demonstrated a process of growth and diversity in corporate worship from the Synagogue to house churches to the worship in churches of several thousand, such as the church in Jerusalem. Over and over again God states that He doesn't want form; He wants our hearts. To obey is better than sacrifice. The various forms have more to do with church traditions and culture than biblical mandates.

The elements of worship (Praise, Prayer, Examination, Confession, Giving, Scripture Reading, Preaching, Witness/Testimony and Affirmation of Truth) have strong biblical support. The way those elements are included in a worship service (in other words, the form) can be very diverse. Our task...is to determine a form that is most meaningful to our congregation. Because people and culture are constantly changing, the form will also be constantly changing. There is clear evidence in both the Old and New Testament that forms changed as people and culture changed. "
