Worship is not just something we do - it is the purpose of our existence. Every week Christians come together to share a taste of heaven itself, where all of God's redeemed people will exalt his holy name forever.

But what is really going on when we worship, and what is it supposed to look like in the life of a church? Derek W. H. Thomas addresses both questions, working from Scripture through the elements of corporate worship and the principles that ought to govern them. Useful to a congregation arguing about its services, and more useful still before the argument starts.
