Explore How Christ Completes Israel’s Worship Story and Empowers His Church to Worship in Spirit and Truth

Humans are made to worship, but as sinners, the most we can offer God is imperfect praise. In the Old Testament, people used various symbols and rituals to show devotion, but these flawed offerings would find their ultimate fulfillment in Jesus, the perfect worshiper. So, what should biblical worship look like for redeemed people today?

Matthew Westerholm gives churches a unified vision for worship by studying its different expressions throughout salvation history. First, he presents a biblical theology of worship from Genesis to Christ. Next, Westerholm defines proper worship as acknowledging God’s creating power, generous faithfulness, and purposeful commission. Finally, he offers readers practical guidance about where, when, and how to worship today. Written to encourage the entire congregation, this book celebrates how Christ’s atoning work transforms worship from ritualistic obligation to joyful expression.
