Worship Matters
‘New covenant worship is essentially the
engagement with God that he has made possible
through the revelation of himself in Christ (truth),
and the life he has made available through the
Holy Spirit (Spirit)’
Centred on Christ
Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious
duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which
can never take away sins.
But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for
sins, he sat down at the right hand of God ... for by one
sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being
made holy.
Hebrews 10:11-14
‘We do not turn inwards, looking for personal achievement
as the basis for eternal hope; Rather we turn upwards,
looking to the achievement of Christ on the cross, whose
work is finished and complete - this is the confidence that
should fill our churches with joyful praise and celebration.’
John Risbridger

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power ... to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
