What is Worship in Spirit and Truth? w/ Tom Wadsworth || S03:E05

In this conversation, Daniel Rogers and Tom Wadsworth explore the concept of worship from a biblical perspective, focusing on the New Testament's teachings and the cultural context of early Christian assemblies. They discuss the distinction between normative and prescriptive approaches to worship, the significance of the term 'proskuneo' (to bow down), and the shift from physical locations to worshiping in spirit and truth.

Is There a Biblical Pattern for a Worship Service? w/ Tom Wadsworth || S03:E04

In today's episode, Daniel Rogers interviews Tom Wadsworth concerning his doctoral level research on the early Christian assemblies. Contrary to what most Christians assume, the New Testament never actually talks about a worship service. For those of us raised within the Churches of Christ, this means there is no biblical pattern for a mandatory worship service with five ritualistic acts. Instead, the early church gathered to encourage one another and to build each other up. In the show notes below, you'll find access to Tom's website and YouTube channel along with a self-guided study on "worship" in the New Testament that will take you through five important Greek words.    Tom's Website: www.tomwadsworth.com [http://www.tomwadsworth.com]  Tom's YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/@tomwadsworth [http://www.youtube.com/@tomwadsworth] Self-Guided Word Study on Worship: https://danielr.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Worship-Service-Self-Guided-Study.pdf [https://danielr.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Worship-Service-Self-Guided-Study.pdf]    For my articles, podcasts, and videos, you can use the following links:  Blog: https://danielcrogers.substack.com [https://danielcrogers.substack.com] Website: https://danielr.net [https://danielr.net]  Podcast: https://danielr.net/podcasts [https://danielr.net/podcasts]  Free Downloads: https://danielcrogers.gumroad.com/ [https://danielcrogers.gumroad.com/]  Church: https://northbroadal.com [https://northbroadal.com] YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DanielRogers [https://www.youtube.com/@DanielRogers]
