What works in worship?
Do you ever come home from church thinking that the preacher gave a lot of very articulate answers to questions no-one was asking? Do you find taht as frustratting as I do?

I've become fascinated by the Jesus approach to teaching - tell lots of stories that made people think. Stories with lots of possible explanations. It's amazing how hard people had to work to get Jesus to explain himself. Ask him a question and he'd mostly answer it right back with another question. It was only the small core of close disciples and those who really pushed him that got clear answers.

It's more important to wrestle with the Bible yourself than be totally passive while someone else tells you what they think about it.

So how do we do worship that makes us go home wrestling with the truth instead of being mad at the preacher? Start where people are and help them to wrestle with the answers! Easy isn't it!!
