Preaching As Worship

Is there ever a time on Sunday where it feels like the worship stops? Many would assume that occurs right about now. This was an assumption that was hammered out of us at seminary. Someone from a church would talk about how we would "have a time of worship AND THEN we will hear the sermon." Did you catch what is being assumed there? Worship is all about the singing, because that is when we are *feeling* it. People's hands don't go up during the sermon. If they did, I would think you are asking a question. It looks instead like maybe this is the *pastor's* turn to worship, and the people will join back in at the closing song, but that isn't what the sermon is meant to be. It isn't *just* me worshiping up here. You are worshiping here, in this moment, as well.
