Collective Worship

“Believers worship God in church every week, yet many do not fully grasp what worship actually is or why they engage in it. Some view worship merely as a ‘preparation’ for the sermon, while others see it as a private, solitary moment ‘between themselves and the Lord Jesus.’ So, what is the biblically informed way to understand corporate worship?

In this book, Matt Merker explains that corporate worship is the gathering of God’s people—by His grace, for His glory, and for their own benefit—in the presence of a watching world. Merker offers biblical insights and practical suggestions to help make worship what it is truly meant to be: a foretaste of God’s people worshipping together for eternity in the new creation.”
