We are the people of God in this time and place and we have Good News. Our language, symbols, and music in worship need to convey the Message in a relevant way. At the same time, worship should be evocative . God is Holy, beyond our comprehension. Our worship must hint at more than it actually says to convey the reality of another dimension altogether.
Christian worship is sacramental .
Partly this means that we should regularly do both Word and Sacrament, but it s more than that. We should be expecting God as a participant in our worship, and always be ready to hear his voice speaking to us. A choir anthem has the potential to be a means of grace. Christian worship should direct us toward mission . The divine service doesn t just happen on Sunday morning in church.
