GRACE-FILLED WORSHIP IN A NUTSHELL
Robert Webber: If worship is all intellect, then you have to worry about developing the "Aha." If worship is all feeling, then you have to figure out how to "create" a good feeling.

I am suggesting grace-filled worship is an entirely different focus.

The focus is on God's action to rescue the world. This worship proclaims and enacts God's mission in world history: to renew the face of the earth. By thankfully remembering God's saving history and anticipating God's final redemption in the new heavens and the new earth, truth shapes us.

Does this truth touch us on the level of experience? Does it warm the heart, fill the spirit with trust, find expression in joy, birth hope, incite faith, and motivate loving deeds?

Yes! I call this a grace-filled experience. We remember God's saving deeds. God fills us with a grateful response.
