Louvor e adoração
O louvor e a adoração são o propósito supremo da vida cristã. A Bíblia está repleta de exortações a louvar o Senhor — com cânticos, instrumentos, danças e com todo o nosso ser.
Louvai ao Senhor!
Todo ser que respira louve ao Senhor! O louvor é o sacrifício agradável que oferecemos continuamente a Deus.

Cânticos e instrumentos
Cantai ao Senhor um cântico novo! Louvai com salmos, hinos e cânticos espirituais, fazendo melodia no coração ao Senhor.
16 Let the word of Christ have its home in you richly, in all wisdom. Teach and admonish one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, ever singing with grace in your hearts unto God.

Gratidão e louvor
Em tudo dai graças. O louvor nasce da gratidão por quem Deus é e pelo que Ele faz. Cada bênção é motivo de adoração.
