29: Your Church Isn’t a Temple, So Why Call Your Gatherings Worship?

Have you ever wondered why modern churches call their gatherings “worship” when the New Testament never uses that term for Christian assemblies? This episode unpacks the Greek term leitourgeo—often translated as “worship” or “serve”—and its roots in temple service. Drawing on Dr. Tom Wadsworth’s research, we explore how this word relates to priestly duties in the Bible and why equating it with modern “worship” misses the mark.

Discover the difference between service and worship, the New Testament’s focus on ministry and mutual edification, and how understanding leitourgeo can reshape our view of church gatherings. Tune in for a thought-provoking journey into the language and meaning behind biblical texts!
