Does worship have a place in small groups? Or does it belong only in the church building on Sunday mornings?
The Samaritan woman in John 4 might be able to answer that question for us. At one time she believed worship could happen only in a specific place (v. 19). Jesus corrected her: "A time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are ...
We all know that worship is an essential part of the Christian's life, both individually and corporately. But does worship belong in small groups?
