The Lord's Service: The Grace of Covenant Renewal Worship

Evangelicals are generally clueless about worship. When we're not putting guys with long hair and guitars at the front of the church, we are often pursuing the latest high church fad, with incense making up for the smoke on the rock and roll stage.In this book which began as a practical guide to worship, Jeffrey Meyers charts an alternative. He lays out out a case for a covenant renewal service by means of Old Testament sacrificial liturgics, biblical typology, and covenant theology. He then guides us through the stages of a covenant renewal liturgy, explaining from Scripture the meanings of each step of the service. The final section addresses miscellaneous issues in worship, such as the use of creeds, the "regulative principle," and ministerial clothing.Jeffrey Meyers provides not only a compelling biblical, theological, and historical case for covenant renewal worship, but also shows that it is beautiful, profound, edifying, and liberating.
