Directions Google Directions to Bay Harbour Church of God What should I expect in the worship services? At Bay Harbour, we worship the Lord. We worship seriously, joyfully, and enthusiastically. During our services, worship takes many forms. Sometimes it is structured and other times spontaneous. Sometimes it is loud and other times very quiet. Sometimes our faces show an explosive celebration of praise and other times reverence. Sometimes we sing choruses and other times anthems. Our worship involves music, the Word, praise, and both physical and vocal response. We all carry the responsibilities of seeking God, for our worship is highly participatory and open to the possibility that God will speak through any of us. Decency and order are constant watchwords. Scripture is our source for pattern and principle. Edification is our goal. In any given service you might find seekers raising their hands, signing, speaking in an unknown language, and many other expressions of worship. Frequently asked questions about worship Why do we stand when we worship? "And the Levites…of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high.” (2 Chronicles 20:19) Why do we clap our hands? “O clap your hands all you people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.” (Psalms 47:1) Why do we lift our hands? “Thus I will bless You while I live: I will lift up my hands in Your name.” (Psalms 63:4) “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and bless the Lord.” (Psalms 134:2) “I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” (1 Timothy 2:8) Why do we have audible praise unto God? “Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me bless His holy name.” (Psalms 103:1) “I bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” (Psalms 34:1) Why do we pray in tongues and in English? “For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.” (1 Corinthians 14:14-15) Why do we have this type of worship? “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.” (John 4:23-24) “For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh.” (Philippians 3:3) Why do we sing choruses as well as hymns? “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.” (Ephesians 5:18-19) “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” (Colossians 3:16) What is Prophecy? “…the Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?” (Amos 3:8) “But he that prophesies speaks unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.” (1 Corinthians 14:31) “Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.” (1 Corinthians 14:1) “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit all… To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy.” (1 Corinthians 12:7 & 10) “For you may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be comforted.” (1 Corinthians 14:31) “Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.” (1 Corinthians 14:29) Why do we have speaking with tongues and interpretation of those tongues? “Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.” (1 Corinthians 14:39) “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit all … To another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues.” (1 Corinthians 12:7 & 10) “I would that you all spoke with tongues, but rather that you prophesied: for greater is he that prophesies than he that speaks with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.” (1 Corinthians 14:5) “If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course, and let one interpret.” (1 Corinthians 14:27) Why are musical instruments a part of the worship service? “Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet. Praise Him with the psaltry and harp. Praise Him with the timbrel and dance. Praise Him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise Him upon the loud cymbals: Praise Him upon the high sounding cymbals.” (Psalms 150:3-5) “And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I hear the voice of harpers harping with their harps.

Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.” (James 5:14-15)
