Renew Your Worship: A Study in Blending of Traditional and Contemporary Worship (Book)

Robert E. Webber

Written by: Robert E. Webber.

Description

We are living in a time when worship has become a distinct priority for the Christian community. For years the church has emphasized evangelism, teaching, fellowship, missions, and service while neglecting the very source of its power -- worship. Recently, however, many churches are experiencing a Spirit-led renewal in their understanding and practice of the praise and worship of God.

Renew Your Worship is a small-group course of study designed around thirteen easy-to-understand sessions. Part One, Why Sunday Worship? introduces the idea of worship renewal, the definition and structure of worship, and the variety of worship styles. Part Two, What Does Worship Do? studies four actions of worship: gathering, proclaiming the word, celebrating the feast, and sending out into the world. Part Three, Breaking through the Barriers of Passive Worship, looks at ways to ensure congregational participation in sessions on the psychology of worship, prayer, preaching, singing, and the planning of worship.
