In addition, check out the blog entries with extracts from Mark Driscoll's teaching on identifying the idols of our hearts. Part 1 is here and part 2 is here.

If it's all for him, then it must be an acceptable offering of worship to him. This class looks at how God defines acceptable worship, focusing particularly on who God wants us to be as worshippers.

Our call is to be true worshippers, orientating our lives around the one worthy Object of worship - God himself. In this class, understand something more of the nature of God, of worship, and of the people we lead in worship . Encounter 2008-04-25T21:19:00-05:00
