MA1-2: Our Worship Reflects
Who We Are
Cultural Artifacts Glorifying God
This eye opening workshop will deal heavily with the beginnings of culture and move on to the responsibility given to every human by God through the cultural mandate. The arts are discussed as to their relevance in bringing man to a relationship with God as well as reflective of various aspects of God’s beauty and creativity. Keys topics and issues touch upon worship that relate to culture, both ethnic and generational, the missionary principle, and other issues will allow for a better understanding of one’s own worship and how worship reflects who we are.
