Week of April 28, 2013

1. Read Psalm 148.
2. Can you remember a worship service where you felt especially close to God?  Where where you?  What happened?
3. What do you think the purpose of worship is?  Why do we go to church?
4. Father Mike mentioned how acts of piety are possible in our worship service.  Do you think about being pious yourself?  Do you think this is something that you can achieve?  Why or why not?
5. What do you think you should "bring" to the worship service?  What does God bring?
6. Father Mike taught about the "pre-existence" and "unspontaneity" of our worship.  What does this mean to you?  Why is this important, or is it?
7. What does it mean to kneel, bow, sit, stand and make the sign of the cross piously?
8. What difference does all of this make in our worship service anyway?  Can't God bless our service even if we don't do any of these things?
9. What are you most taking out of this sermon and this discussion?
10. Pray for one another....
