Worship and Liturgy

Whether high church, low church, or somewhere in between, every church has a liturgy--a structure that guides the order of service, influences the way we worship, and reflects our relationship with God. The questions we must ask ourselves are· Is our worship something we do for God or a testament of what God has done for us?· Do the words we say, hear, and sing emphasize the work of Christ?· Does our order of service help us receive the gifts that Jesus desires to give?In Worship and Liturgy, Paul J. Grime helps ministry leaders answer those questions in order to faithfully lead their churches to worship in spirit and truth. Covering the vital topics of preaching, prayer, the lectionary, the sacraments, and more, Grime helps you center your services around Christ, who desires to meet with his people and give us what we need. Whether you are starting from scratch with a new church plant or hoping to revitalize and recenter the worship in a long-standing congregation, this resource will help you recognize liturgy not as merely an order of service but more significantly as the unique and life-giving work of Christ, who laid down his life for the benefit of the whole world.
