no "worship service" anywhere in Scripture

 "There is no place in all of Scripture that teaches that Christians are to gather for 'worship." -John Zens



Context, part two of John Zens' article:

Here is the assumption: That the Christian meeting in the first century was a gathering for worship, i.e., a” worship service.”This assumption cannot be substantiated anywhere from the NT. There is no place in all of Scripture that teaches that Christians are to gather for “worship.” Other scholars agree. For example, in chapter 9 of his seminal work, “Paul’s Idea of Community,” Dr. Robert Banks discusses Romans 12:1-2 which says that our whole life is to be a worship until the Lord. He then makes this crucial point, “since all place and times have now become the venue of worship (Rom. 12:1-2), Paul cannot speak of Christian assembly in church distinctively for this purpose.”  -LINK
