In order for God’s Word to achieve its Divinely intended purpose and effect, such an “Aha! That’s me!” response must happen within the hearts of those who read and hear it.
The best way to learn the Psalms is to sing them, which is why a group of Dutch musicians is mining their "Genevan Psalter" heritage to create arrangements that appeal to today's worshipers.
In 2006, the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship commissioned 23 congregations and schools to explore the theme of Vertical Habits, to learn how the words we use in our relationships also shape our worship.
A chapel outline focusing on Jesus as our shepherd.
God’s Word declares that Jesus, his appointed task on earth having been finished, returned to his Father in heaven. Trusting that Word, Christians triumphantly confess the words in the Apostle’s Creed: “He ascended into heaven.”
This sermon emphasizes that Jesus Christ as our Good Shepherd always guides us on his paths.
This service explores the secure protection that the child of God discovers in the loving care of God.
Sermon notes about rest, renewal and restoration.
Who is invited to plan worship? What spiritual gifts need to be included on the planning team? How can the planning team leader facilitate conversation among diverse voices?

Immersing themselves in these psalms helped worshipers view their lives as people journeying together on their way home to God.
This service is based on Philippians 4:2-9.
