Sadly, most modern Protestant Christian communities struggle with the fact that services in liturgical churches are so structured and different from their own concept of worship. This is because they are under the false assumption that in New Testament times the early Christian worship was “spontaneous.” Obviously, nothing could be further from the truth. Liturgical worship has its roots in Holy Scripture and was birthed out of the well-defined worship cycle of Jewish Tradition. 
In fact, the Apostles and Early Christians would attend the routine Jewish services, and then afterwards, gather to celebrate the “fulfillment” of having Jesus Christ as the Messiah. Therefore, all Christians worshiped using this exact liturgical format for fifteen hundred years – with the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics Churches doing so to this day: remaining loyal to and maintaining how the Early church worshiped in Apostolic times (1st Timothy 6:20). Therefore, the ways in which Protestant’s worship is at best less than 500 years old – with most modern churches utilizing practices that are less than 100 years old!
