Session Description
Service outline from the 2006 Calvin Symposium on Worship based on John 14:25-31.
Each service in 2006 follows a theme taken from the final words of Jesus to his disciples before he ascended into heaven. The Gospel according to Matthew ends with this promise of Jesus: "And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
This promise was not new--Scripture records that promise many times, which is why Jesus used the word "remember." Indeed, every time the people of God gather for worship, we meet to "remember and believe" that God is with us still, in our lives, in our world, and as an active participant in that very service. When we meet for worship, Christ is in our midst, the great High Priest, through the Holy Spirit opening our hearts to hear God speak to us, and bringing our imperfect worship perfectly before the Father as an acceptable sacrifice of praise to our triune God.
In our six worship services during this Symposium, we will rest in that promise, moving from the Old to the New Testament and searching out some of the many facets of what it means to worship in the presence of a God who is with us always.
