Every week we rehearse the gospel through sequential liturgical practices which move us from adoring God’s glory, to confessing our sinfulness, to restoring joy in our forgiveness, to redirecting our life by God’s Word, to pleading for God’s help, and to devoting our lives to God’s mission all by God’s grace! These practices form a dynamic dialogue between God and His people.
• He initiates an invitation to worship ... we respond in praise
• He forgives us in the gospel ... we respond in confession.
• He assures us of pardon ... we respond in thanksgiving.
• He teaches us His Word ... we respond in affirmation of faith and prayer.
• He provides resources ... we respond in offering to Him.
• He sends us out in His benediction ... we respond by living on mission.
