  • Some worship publicly, but do nothing to worship on their own during the week.
  • Some say they see no need to worship with a congregation.
  • Both types of worship are necessary.
  • Private worship
    • Its convenience
      • One can usually pray if he desires to.
      • It’s convenient to study during breaks in our day.
    • Its adaptability
      • Sometimes we need to pray about things that are too private for a public prayer.
    • Its sincerity
      • In public worship, it’s easy for one to be more concerned about how you appear to others or put on a show for appearance’s sake. This is nearly impossible in private worship.
      • It’s much easier to keep your mind from wandering in private worship.
    • Its advantages
      • We can pray often during the day.
      • We can offer the contents of our heart to God.
    • Its intensity
  • Rules for private worship
    • Regularly - Daniel 6:10
    • Perseveringly - Luke 22:44
    • Find a private place - Luke 22:39-41
    • Make worship genuine - John 4:23-24
    • Be humble - Luke 18:13
    • Be forgiving and ask for forgiveness - Matthew 6:14-15
  • Elements of private worship
    • Prayer - like David and Jesus
    • Sing (James 5:13
    • Study and meditate
  • How do you private worship? How often?
