With You Always, From John 14:25-31, Calvin Institute Of Christian Worship

Symposium on Worship Archive

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 …

Vertical Habits: Missional Churches At Worship, John Witvliet

Symposium on Worship Archive

In this workshop for new and emerging, as well as established and evolving congregations, we explored how new Christians and young children learn to relate to God, and what this teaches us about our practices of weekly congregational worship.

Who You Are Is How You Are Heard: Personality And Personal Ethics In Preaching, Mary Hulst

Symposium on Worship Archive

The small choices preachers make provide hearers not only with a better understanding of the text, but also with a keen understanding of the preacher. This session invited participants to become self-aware in their own preaching and to improve their "ethics of preaching," or to learn how to listen to the things the preacher isn't saying.

Ephesians: A Model Of Integral (Holistic) Worship, Mariano Avila

Symposium on Worship Archive

Paul's letter to the Ephesians demonstrates that worship is an excellent way of expressing the deepest theological teachings and also of integrating them to everyday life. Actually, Ephesians shows that life is an act of worship. This session opened up this compelling book not only for preachers and teachers, but for all who long for a deeper biblical perspective on worship.

Includes a recording and handout.

Worship In The Early Church, David Rylaarsdam

Symposium on Worship Archive

What did worship according to Scripture look like in the first Christian centuries? How did the type of water used in baptism or the shape of the font, for example, proclaim biblical teaching? What was the celebration of the Lord's Supper like? Why was a person's posture during prayer so important? Some of the worship practices of early Christians --100-400 A.D.-- were strikingly different but perhaps more biblical than ours today.

Writing Sermons In An Oral Style, Frederick Dale Bruner, Garth Pauley

Symposium on Worship Archive

The rhetorician James Winans once wrote, "A speech is not merely an essay standing on its hind legs." Yet many speakers—including preachers—write their messages in a style better suited for reading rather than hearing. To be an effective oral communicator, one must learn to write for the ear, not the eye.

Baptismal Practice And Trinitarian Belief In Joseph Bingham's Origines Ecclesiasticae: A Study In The Historical And Theological Contexts Of Patristic Scholarship At The Close Of The Era Of Orthodoxy, Yudha Thianto

CTS PhD Doctoral Dissertations

Joseph Bingham belonged to a group of late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Anglican scholar-clergymen that endeavored to provide their contemporaries with a comprehensive picture of the practice and worship of the early church. Bingham's historical study is unique, since he presents the ancient church in a non-chronological method, but through a systematic and thematic investigation of the rites and ceremonies, together with other dynamic aspects of Christian antiquity. This dissertation proposes to situate Bingham in the context of the late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century English church, its scholarship, and its theological controversies. This understanding of Bingham will, in turn, reveal …

The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, Terryl Givens

English Faculty Publications

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormon or LDS church, constitute an organization that transcends simple denominational status. Though the Mormons were originally one of a multitude of restorationist churches emerging out of the ferment known as the Second Great Awakening in the early nineteenth century, a number of factors conspired to forge an entity variously considered a religion, a people, a global tribe, and a New Religious Movement (NRM), the only "indigenously derived ethnic group" in the United States and an emerging world religion. Mormonism's distinctive doctrines challenge the boundaries of …

Mormons, Terryl Givens

English Faculty Publications

Mormonism was one of many religious movements that emerged in antebellum American during the ferment known as the Second Great Awakening. In 1820 a youthful Joseph Smith (1805-1844) told his family and skeptical neighbors that he had been visited by Jesus Christ in response to his prayerful request for guidance in choosing a true religion. All Christian denominations had gone astray, the personage told him. Smith created little subsequent stir on the religious stage until ten years later, when he produced the Book of Mormon, a lengthy narrative purportedly written by ancient American prophets of Israelite origins and revealed to …
