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.”
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.
