IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
Many people attend a worship service each Sunday, but do they understand what they are doing and Whom they are worshiping? Some churches have turned their worship services into “productions.” What does God desire in our worship? In next week’s lesson, “The Nature of Worship,” Phil Sanders will discuss that and other related questions. The nationally televised program can be seen locally every Sunday at 7:30 a.m. on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7.
