Worship Formation

Preaching & Worship

“Worship is both a taste of transcendence and proclaims our witness to the world. The Urdu term for worship is Ibadat (John 4:24)—a term denoting both that a worshiper is a slave (abd) to his Creator, and that worship is a sacrificial service to glorify God’s holiness. Whether the worship be congregational or personal, consisting of songs, Scripture reading, administering of sacraments, sermon, stillness, or supplications, all these help to offer our devotion to the Divine. Steven Brooks’ work calls readers to a pilgrimage of experiencing the power and presence of God in worship. . . . Worship Formation is an excellent resource for worshipers around the world.”
