Worship

As He sat beside Jacob’s well in the heat of a Samaritan afternoon, the Lord Jesus spoke with a woman whose deepest need was not physical water, but spiritual satisfaction. In that remarkable conversation, He revealed the Father’s desire for true worshippers who would worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Among the many purposes God has for His people, none is higher than worship. While believers are called to serve, watch, and wait, they are above all called to be worshippers of God. This book explores the biblical principles and patterns of worship, examining what Scripture teaches about drawing near to God in a manner that is pleasing to Him.

Through clear exposition and careful attention to the Word of God, Mark Sweetnam considers the character, meaning, and practice of true worship. Challenging and encouraging in equal measure, this volume helps readers develop a deeper appreciation of the privilege and responsibility of worship and provides practical guidance for ensuring that God does not seek our worship in vain.
