Saturday features four theological talks that unpack the significance of corporate worship, led by Jonathan L. Cruse and Camden Bucey. These sessions will deepen our understanding of the heavenly realities we enter into during worship and the way God shapes us through it.
- Talk 1: The What of Worship (Cruse)
The most important thing we do because we meet with God.
Worship is not simply a human activity but a divine appointment. This session explores the essential nature of worship as an encounter with the Triune God. - Talk 2: The Where of Worship (Bucey)
The spiritual, heavenly realities of corporate worship.
When the church gathers, it does so in the presence of God and His heavenly host. This talk explains the spiritual dimension of worship, helping us grasp the cosmic significance of this sacred act. - Talk 3: The Shape of Worship (Cruse)
How worship should be structured to structure us as believers.
Reformed liturgy is rooted in Scripture, reflecting God’s design for worship. This session examines how the elements of worship shape our faith and lives. - Talk 4: The How of Worship (Bucey)
Preparing for and participating in worship.
How do we approach worship in a way that honors God and nourishes our souls? This practical session offers biblical guidance on preparing our hearts and minds for corporate worship.
