Worship in the NT church was not some celebration and worship service, it was a life lived out.
"Worship stands at the heart of Christian community. This is doubly true because the word "worship" has a double meaning. First, the word refers to that attitude of heart and mind which is the only appropriate attitude of a creature toward its creator. In this sense "worship" implies wonder and humility, attention and obedience, confession and self-offering. Such worship is not contained within the walls of a church building and is not restricted to what happens within a worship "service." Indeed this root meaning of "worship" is an attitude of life and a way of being Christians" ~ Christopher J. Ellis
Romans 12.1 - I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
