Worship Together in Your Church as in Heaven

Publisher Description

If we hope to share the message of Christ with people in this changed world, we must examine and reshape our worship. Our communities and our neighborhoods are becoming increasingly multicultural. Is the same thing true at your church? Is the worship at your church reflective of heaven? The Bible is clear that one day people from every tribe, language, and nation will gather together to worship Jesus together in heaven. More often than not, however, our worship here on earth is segregated, preferential, one-dimensional, and united around a musical style rather than the person of Jesus Christ. This kind of worship is not only incomplete, but it is dangerous, leading us farther and farther away from the kind of worship that heaven is about. Multicultural worship doesn't just happen. The church is in need of pastors, worship leaders, and worshipers who, with their hearts fixed on heaven, will not settle for the separate but equal mentality in worship. Worship Together in Your Church as in Heaven is a foundational book for church leaders and all those who serve and participate in worship. The authors convincingly lay out the case for a shift to multicultural worship for virtually every church. They then take readers by the hand, so to speak, and show them how to begin making the changes in hands-on, practical, doable ways.
