Worship

The vision of FBC Westlake Worship is to “develop highly influential God worshipers” beyond the church building and into the communities in which we live and work.

We believe that praise is declaring to the principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness what God has done, is doing, and will do (Eph 6:12). We are called to demonstrate what Jesus carried out in His earthly ministry (1 John 3:8); a demonstration that is manifested by the words we speak and by our obedience to God’s Word (Prov 18:21, 1 Sam 15:22). Worship creates an atmosphere where faith can be fueled. Faith creates an atmosphere of expectancy where miracles can happen.

We believe that worship is a lifestyle response to a holy, omnipotent God. If praise is declaring what God has done, is doing, or will do, then worship is declaring (and living) who God is. If we do not know who God is, we cannot worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). Our corporate worship should be a natural extension of the relationship we have with God when we are alone. When we join together in one accord to worship the Lord as the singers and musicians did in II Chronicles 5:13-14, we believe that the tangible presence of Almighty God will fill the sanctuary resulting in changed, transformed, and renewed lives.
