Eugene Peterson writes: “In Worship, God gathers his people to himself as center. Worship is a meeting at the center so that our lives are centered in God and not lived eccentrically. We worship so that we live in response to and from this center . . . Failure to worship consigns us to a life of spasms and jerks, at the mercy of every advertisement, ever seduction, every siren.”

At the heart of our worship is the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, who is the Lamb that was slain. He is the One who redeems us and who is worthy to be praised! This coming Sunday we are invited to join the worship of heaven and be “lost in wonder, love and praise.
