Worship in the Early Church
Some of the worship practices of early Christians --100-400 A.D.-- were strikingly different but perhaps more biblical than ours today.
With Every Good Thing Series - Yet at Present - Hebrews 2
An order of worship planned around Hebrews 2, originally held at the Calvin Symposium on Worship. The first of a six-part series on the book of Hebrews from the 2008 Symposium on Worship. These services are designed to rejuvenate the vigor of the faithful by returning us to our first love: our wonderful Savior Jesus Christ.
Christian Soul Food - John 6, HCLD 28
The fifth service plan in a Pentecost series including preparation for the Table. Just as we have a physical life that requires constant care and nourishment, so believers also have a "spiritual life and heavenly life" that requires nourishment.
