Rules for corporate worship – MarsHill Church, Seattle

The media arm of MarsHill Church, pastored by Mark Driscoll, has a great post listed what might be considered ‘non-negotiables’ for corporate worship.

Corporate worship:

1.  …is to be G0d-centered

2.  … should be intelligible

3.  …is to be seeker-sensible

4.  …is to be unselfish.

5.  …is to be orderly.

6.  …is to be missional.

These seem obvious but may bear repeating occasionally.

Also posted are the elements of corporate worship w/scripture references:

1. Preaching (2 Timothy 4:2)
2. Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Table (Matthew 28:19;1 Corinthians 11:17–34)
3. Prayer (1 Timothy 2:1)
4. Reading Scripture (1 Timothy 4:13)
5. Financial giving (2 Corinthians 8–9)
6. Singing and music (Colossians 3:16)
