Worship Theory: Laying a foundation for corporate and individual worship by Chris MacKinnon Pdf

In the past year, you've probably heard a sermon or read a book about prayer or reading your Bible. You may have attended a small group study to learn how to better reach out to your community or how to improve your marriage.But when was the last time you heard a sermon about worship? When did your Sunday School class study how we're supposed to worship? If a sampling of one person from each church in your town was brought together in one room, do you think they might have a common definition of worship?Worship Theory is an encouragement for all Christians to study Scripture, open discussion, and develop worship beyond how we have come to accept it. Examine worship's importance, its purpose, and its implications on our lives. Find out how the opinions and ideas you already have about worship affect not only your offering before God, but how they relate to your image of God and His working in your life. Then learn what it means to incorporate worship in to the whole of your life.

Biblical Foundations of Corporate Worship by Scott Aniol Pdf

Ever since Cain and Abel, God's people have been asking, "What is the proper way to worship God?" In five compelling chapters, Scott Aniol explains that corporate worship theology and practice must be founded in the Word of God. There we discover that corporate worship's goal is communion with God through regular, weekly covenant renewal, wherein the entire congregation engages in dialogue with God in a meeting structured around the gospel, toward the goal of spiritual fellowship with God through Christ by the Spirit.

Worship on Earth as It Is in Heaven by Rory Noland Pdf

Rory Noland addresses the challenges of Christian worship head-on, offering practical suggestions gleaned from Scripture on understanding and experiencing vibrant worship. The first half of Worship on Earth as It Is in Heaven explores what it means to grow as a private worshiper. The practices of the psalmist David provide insight to help people worship God on their own. Second, Noland discusses corporate worship by exploring the glorious gatherings in heaven, as described in the book of Revelation. He presents immediately applicable ideas for becoming a better corporate worshiper. This book includes: • Slice-of-church-life scenarios. Every chapter begins with a brief scenario that presents a worship-related issue or a conflict corresponding to the chapter topic. • Group discussion questions. Based on the opening scenario, these questions help readers think about and discuss worship-related topics from different perspectives. • Issue-by-issue practical guidance from a biblical perspective. • “Ponder and Apply” application questions. Each chapter ends with a series of discussion questions and action steps to help readers identify key insights and make personal applications.

Worship: Adoration and Action by D. A. Carson Pdf

Anxious that current interest in and discussion of worship are too much preoccupied with mere mechanics, Dr. Carson joined with an international group of scholars to produce this final volume of the five Tyndale Consultations. First, a biblical theology of worship is explored by the Japanese, Yoshiaki Hattori, and the Australian, David Peterson. From this foundation, there follow reflections upon the practice of worship in nine different contexts: denominational (including Anglicanism and Lutheranism), cultural (South America and the Two Thirds World), and also the charismatic movement and student groups. In the final part, the Croat theologian Miroslav Volf concludes that worship is Òthe outworking of God-centredness in individual and corporate experience'. The opinions expressed, although at times in disagreement with one another, are an indication of the wealth of diversity within the worldwide church.

Worshipology by Robert Williams, Jr. Pdf

Biblical worship is a lifestyle, and its meaning, practice, and purpose seems lost in contemporary culture. The corporate worship service event is intended to support the development, maintenance, and advancement of a worship lifestyle. Yet events observed in many churches and commonly referred to as worship barely resemble those described in the Bible and extra-biblical sources. Consequently, such events fail to engage participants as they once did, at least not to the same extent.The Bible as well as extra-biblical sources describe corporate worship events that engage all the human senses. The loss of that engagement in the contemporary corporate event has caused dire consequences. They have reached such a level of impotency at even leading others in the genuine worship of God that the chances of them inspiring participants to develop, maintain, and advance a worship lifestyle is highly improbable.Worshipology seeks to improve the contemporary corporate worship service event through the restoration of elements of the biblical worship experience. It goes beyond an examination of the biblical foundations of an effective corporate worship service event. Worshipology also draws connections between contemporary scientific knowledge of the human senses and the worship experience. This understanding of how our senses function during the worship experience can greatly increase the effectiveness of that experience at supporting a worship lifestyle.The purpose of Worshipology is to facilitate the production of events that so thoroughly immerse the very being of worshipers as to propagate a worship lifestyle. In systems theory, you cannot change some part of a system without changing the whole. So, worship service events that transform its participants in turn transform every environment (system) of every participant. In short, a group of individuals who practice a worship lifestyle is infinitely transformative. Crafting worship service events that support the development, maintenance, and advancement of a worship lifestyle therefore makes a great deal of sense.

Engaging with Contemporary Culture by Martyn Percy Pdf

Theology and the churches are often considered to be at the margins of contemporary culture, frequently struggling for identity and attention. In this important new book Martyn Percy argues that a rich form of practical theological engagement is needed if the churches are to comprehend their situation in the modern world, thereby enabling them to engage more confidently with society. Drawing on a range of perspectives in the religion-culture debate, and from case studies in the USA and Europe, the book explores the myriad of ways in which culture is now shaping contemporary Christianity, and how vital an appreciation of this dynamic is for the self-understanding of churches and theology. This book explores the crucial and continuing contribution that theology can make to public life, in an era that is often perceived to be dominated by consumerism and secularity. It will especially appeal to scholars of contemporary religion, practical theologians, and all those who are engaged in ministerial formation.

The Origins of Religion by Rafael Karsten Pdf

This book, first published in 1935, collects together material on the origins of religion from two very different sources. South America, where the author spent six years studying the religious beliefs and customs of several Indian tribes representing different stages of culture; and the Finno-Ugrian area, where Finnish and Russian ethnologists had brought to light a new body of facts which formed an important addition to our knowledge of religious life at an early stage of cultural development. This book is a key work in the study of comparative religion, and is an essential reference source on the origins of religion.
