God created us to worship and praise him. The Bible says God delights in it and it gives Him glory. We start our services with worship, because it reminds us that there is something bigger in this world than our problems. We worship God because he sent is son to die on the cross so that we might have everlasting life. Worship also reminds us of all the things God has done for us and that God is God and we are not. You should worship both at Sunday services and also when you are alone during your Bible reading time.

After a week report back to your discipleship mentor what you have learned.
