Notes and commentary for those reading this week's lectionary texts to the congregation. Bosco Peters, New Zealand. Our preaching is typically a study of a particular book of the Bible by a verse-by-verse exposition, following what we see in Nehemiah 8: At this time our morning sermons are from the book of Jeremiah and our evening sermons are from the book of Hebrews.
The style of our worship music is what many would call classical or traditional and while the use of such terms have their limits they are not an unfair description of what we believe best suits our views of worship and our desires to honor God in our worship. One of the things we love about singing hymns from a hymnal such as ours is that we are able to join our voices with the voices of multiple generations that have gone before us—we may in one service sing songs from Luther, Watts, the Psalter, and a contemporary hymn writer, this we count as a little taste of heaven.
The hymns we sing are rich in theology, easy to sing, and songs written to drive us into God presence. And even though hymn singing has in many circles been replaced or overshadowed by choruses and contemporary music we would encourage you to join us for worship and sing some good theology and see for yourself that it is a lovely thing to join with the saints of many generations in song.
Our focus in worship is God.
While there are many things we care about and many distinctions we love, we most of all understand worship to be a meeting of God with His people the church. It is a dialogue where God speaks to us in the reading of Scripture and the Preaching of Scripture and where we speak to God in hymns, prayers, and confessions. Our approach is simple and ordinary but not at all dull.
