Are singing and prayers during mid-week Bible study worship?
Question:
Dear Brother,
I am a member of the Body of Christ. I have a question that I hope you can answer for me. After midweek Bible class everyone gathers and we sing songs, offer up prayers, a short sermon is given, and an invitation is extended. Is this worship? I know it is not the worship that is commanded on the first day of the week.
Thank you in advance for any information you are able to give.
Answer:
See: What is Worship?
Worship can take place by an individual or by the church and worship, in general, is not restricted to any particular day of the week. There is a requirement to worship God on the first day of the week and that particular worship includes the Lord's Supper and giving, but this doesn't mean that other aspects of worship can't be done at other times.
