Worship Theology and Jesus
Believers worship in Jesus’ name through his intercession, by his atoning work, modeling his life and teaching, with full anticipation of his return.
Don’t Stop Leading People to Christ
“As Paul said, “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14). Leading people to Christ is a lifelong process of pursuing him.”
Worship Theology and Scripture
“In every facet, the Scripture shapes believers’ understanding of glorifying God. The Word of God is the backdrop of new covenant grace that provides the prescriptions for worship.”
Jesus: The Crescendo of the Bible’s Glorious Hymn
“Every aspect of Jesus’ life rings with poetic perfection. As the Lamb of God, he gives the sacrifice needed for atonement. As the Messiah, he assumes his rightful throne. As the Suffering Servant, he bears humanity’s sins. As the Divine Word incarnate, he reveals God’s glory (John 1:14). Jesus’ life, death, resurrection, and exaltation ground the story of the biblical hymn.
Jesus is the turning point of history, the focus of Scripture, and, in a real sense, the culmination of the Old Testament story. All refrains lead back to Christ, the divine hero of Scripture’s universal song.”
