24: Day Six
A few of you may have noticed the return of Jack in 24 for the sixth series. For those unfamiliar with the series, it covers 24 nail biting hours over 24 episodes. Each episode details 60 minutes of Jack’s attempts to save the world.
The format of this series is a relatively new concept and still quite exclusive to 24. However, other programmes and movies do not use this format, but still enjoy similar success.
Ok, the introduction is slightly misleading, but what is currently going through my head is the whole idea of 24 hour worship services. Does God prefer this format over normal worship services? Does your church host 24 hour worship marathons?
I know someone who watched a whole series of 24 on DVD in one sitting!
Can the momentum be kept throughout the small hours, even with different bands participating? Does it make a difference how many worshippers turn up to join in? Should it make a difference?
What is the point of 24 hour worship? Don’t get me wrong, God deserves all the worship we can give and we should be aiming to live worshipful lives 24×7. Does this mean we should be singing all the time (there are churches that run 24×7 worship services)?
Anyway, some thoughts on this would be great.
