Let Us Worship God: Why We Worship the Way We Do

Worship isn't just something we do-it's the purpose of our existence. Every week, Christians come together to share a taste of heaven itself, where all of God's redeemed people will exalt His holy name forever. But what's really going on when we worship? And what's worship supposed to look like in the life of the church?

In Let Us Worship God, Dr. Derek Thomas addresses the “how” and “why” of Christian worship. May we worship God however we want? Do we need the church, or can we worship alone? What are the necessary elements of a worship service? These and other questions find their answers in these pages, leading us to a greater understanding of worship as life's highest privilege and richest joy.

Editorial Reviews

Dr. Terry Johnson

Derek Thomas writes to an important audience: traditional churches whose members don’t know why they worship as they do, and new members of traditional churches who don’t know why their newfound church home worships as it does. Thomas provides a brief but comprehensive explanation of historic Reformed worship, beginning with the doctrine of the church, the role of the Christian Sabbath, and the regulative principle. He then provides a guided tour through each element of worship from the reading and preaching of God’s Word, to the collection, to prayer, to creeds, to sung praises, to the administration of the sacraments, and finally to the benediction. For those looking for a succinct explanation of historic Reformed worship, here is a guide that you can place in the hands of inquirers, whether they’ve been sitting in the pews for decades or are newly arrived.”

Dr. Joel R. Beeke

John Calvin said, ‘The first foundation of righteousness is the worship of God.’ While each Reformed denomination has its particular manner of worship with regard to various details, Derek Thomas offers a lively introduction to several principles and practices of classic Reformed worship. This book will prove very helpful to church members and visitors.”

Dr. William Barcley

I do not know a more reliable guide to biblical worship than Derek Thomas, a friend and former colleague who has taught me so much over the years. This book epitomizes his writings—rich, yet readable. Practical, but full of biblical and theological insight. I plan to recommend this book to anyone who wants to know why we at our church are committed to historic, Reformed worship.”

Dr. Harry Reeder III

God is to be praised as Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer. So why did God create us? To the praise of His glory. Why does He save us? To the praise of His glorious grace. Why does God providentially sustain us? ‘Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!’ Derek Thomas has provided for us a biblical and focused, straightforward distillation of the primacy of God-centered, Spirit-filled, Christ-exalting, biblically revealed, and gospel-saturated worship that is pleasing to the One who created, saved, and sustains us so that we may give the triune God true worship. The God of glory is to be worshiped rightly in Spirit and truth. This volume is a page-turner for all who once fell short of His glory and now have no greater desire than to give Him glory when gathered with His people and when scattered to exalt Him in all of life."
