Psalm 97:1-7 and 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
 
1) Think about the most memorable corporate worship experience you ever had. Was it the singing, preaching, liturgy, or all of the above that moved you?
2) What does it mean for you to have God's glory primary and your preferences secondary in corporate Sunday worship?
 
"Worship is God communing with His people. At its very origin, worship is “family business”. The product of our worship is doxology and the byproduct of our praise is evangelism"
Dr. Hannah Mowrey
 
“…the way to the heart is through the body, and the way into the body is through story.  And this is how worship works: Christian formation is a conversion of the imagination effected by the Spirit, who recruits our most fundamental desires by a kind of narrative enchantment – by inviting us narrative animals into a story that seeps into our bones and becomes the orienting background of our being-in-the-world.” 
James K. A. Smith, Imagining the Kingdom: How Worship Works
