Zac Hicks shares why we need the Call to Worship over at his blog... (read that here)
Here is one of the reasons he gives...
All throughout the week, we find ourselves tossed about in the “sub-reality” of sin and brokenness. In a sense, we can forget God. We can forget His promises to us in Christ. We can forget who we are. We can forget that we’re designed for union and communion with our Maker. And this forgetfulness allows us to worship lesser things—people, money, possessions, prestige, the “perfect life.” The Call to Worship is a jolt back into reality. It is a bucket of cold water on our world-induced trance. In the Call to Worship, we once again remember, “Yes, this is who I am; this is what I’m called to do! I am a son/daughter of God Most High, and in Christ, I am His holy temple, His servant, His worshiper, His friend, His Bride, His possession, His love.
