Worship is the expression of our [[love]] for [[God]] it will be and is an integral part of our relationship with Him, our life and lifestyle. For example, we can include worship at the heart of our [[prayer]] by praising Him and by being in Goda Christian's presence in an open loving and intimate way, as the [[Holy Spirit]] enables us. We also worship by doing whatever we do for God. ==Contents== {{also}} {{ebd}} {{topics}}* [[Prayer]] | [[Christian music]] {{opinions}} {{quotes}} ==Main articles== Worship is the expression of our [[love]] for [[God]] it will be an integral part of our relationship with Him, our life and lifestyle.

Jesus said that the first, and greatest, commandment is "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength". By far the most common word for worship in the [[New Testament]] is [[proskuneo]] which occurs 66 times (the other 6 words come only once each) means "I come towards to kiss".
Church Services are an important time for collective worship, although sadly, not all "Worship" services have a deep quality of real worship in the New Testament sense. The formality of a 'high church' liturgy may seem a long way off the freedom and exuberence a charismatic meeting to some people. Matters such as music and 'style' of worship are largely dependent on culture, denomination and local tradition. No 'form' of worship can be claimed to be uniquely authentic. If the focus is on God, and if the form enables rather than inhibits being with God in loving intimacy with Him, the form is a matter of preference.
Though variable in style, there are some elements which are common to Christian worship services wherever they are celebrated. One thing that Christian churches almost all celebrate is the Lord's Supper (also called [[Holy Communion]] or the Eucharist). Some churches celebrate this every Sunday, others less often. Worship services usually include Prayer or readings from the Bible. Songs or hymns will often be sung. There will often be some explanation of the Bible readings - the Sermon. ==Quotes==
