What Does the Word Worship Mean?

Good Day All Yee Worshipers We have taken off aboard the Worship Airways and we start to glide through the air in worship and also to live for worship, our first stop is going to be, what is Worship? Worship is an individual adoration of God; it is a one man’s band. As we yearn to learn what worship is all about we will start with defining what the term worship mean. The Word “Worship” defies definition as it is too big a word to define or breakdown fully, for today we will start to break it down.

Incense Of Worship, Ingridients Of Worship

Good Day All Yee Worshippers Exodus 30:34-38 God directly teaches Moses on how to create pure and holy incense which was to be holy and pure of which worship is.
