Olive Craig this may sound completely crazy, but the Bible never describes the reason for our gatherings “worship”.
The early Church never viewed their gathering says worship. They never described it that way. They never spoke of it that way.
The other Church gathered for the purpose of building up and encouraging one another in the faith. Breaking bread together learning together, having true fellowship.
What about worship then? Romans 12:1 says our whole life is worship. The Bible never defines a NT gathering or an event as “worship“.

Shane Irwin Amen, Amen! The word "worship" is associated with sacrifice. There is nothing we can sacrifice for Christ, He sacrificed for us and lives in every believer.

SOME SIGNS OF A CHRISTIAN NARCISSIST
1. They appear holy but lack humility.
They focus on looking righteous while resisting correction and accountability.
2. They weaponize forgiveness.
They pressure others to forgive quickly while refusing to acknowledge or change their own harmful behavior.
3. They believe they are spiritually superior.
They act as though they are closer to God than everyone else.
4. They use Scripture to control people.
Bible verses become tools for manipulation instead of love, wisdom, and truth.
5. They demand unquestioning submission.
Any disagreement is labeled as rebellion, disrespect, or a lack of faith.
6. They lack genuine compassion.
They may speak about love and grace but show little empathy when others are hurting.
7. They seek admiration through ministry.
Serving God becomes a way to gain praise, influence, or status rather than to glorify God.
8. They refuse to take responsibility.
Mistakes are blamed on others, spiritual attacks, or misunderstandings instead of being honestly confessed.
9. They maintain a polished public image.
10. They use God to justify abusive behavior.
They claim divine authority to silence, shame, or dominate others rather than reflecting Christ's character.
A person can be deeply involved in church and still display narcissistic traits. Faith should never be used to excuse manipulation or abuse. Healthy Christian leadership reflects humility, accountability, compassion, and genuine love for others.
