Session Description

We are what we love. This biblical notion is found across the Christian tradition, from Paul and Augustine to Luther and Edwards. But what are its implications for worship? We will explore how Christian worship forms and shapes our love to make us a people who desire the kingdom of God, as well as how Christian worship counters the formation of “secular liturgies.”
