This is just a thought. Nobody actually reads this, so it'll be just a quick note.
Why does a Church need different genres of services? The answer you'll get from the preacherette whose Church does this is something like: Well people like to worship in different ways.
Who is the worship service about, again? If it's all about Christ, why does how an attendee feels have any bearing whatsoever?
Can you show me a verse or passage that even seems to say God likes variety in worship? Read Isaiah 6. What Isaiah sees happening in Heaven is the same thing John sees hundreds of years later when he received the Revelation. That's not variety, that's God being the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Well if the variety is not for Him, who is it for?
Obviously it's for those in attendance. This makes these extra and varied services about the attendee, not Christ. You choose the contemporary service because YOU like it, not because God likes it.
Every justification you offer will be centered around the word "I" when your worship should center around GOD.
That makes your worship as useless as that of the Samarians. Jesus told the woman at the well that they didn't even know who they worshipped.
If you require a specific style of service in order to worship Christ, it's not Christ that you are worshipping. Your worship is in vain.
