Gravity and Gladness Video and Study Guide
Overview
What does the Bible say about corporate worship? What is worship in the first place? The drastic difference in worship styles among churches can lead to much confusion on this topic. In this twelve-session video seminar with accompanying study guide, John Piper looks to the Bible to help us discover the true nature of worship. In these sessions, you will examine how gravity in worship doesn’t mean being stern or grim. And gladness in worship doesn’t mean being frivolous or superficial. As Piper points out, if our God is both inestimably glorious and infinitely happy, our worship will have both gravity and gladness, both substance and satisfaction. With great warmth and insight, he addresses important questions including: What should our worship look like? How can we find a difficult balance with worship that is both solemn and joyful? This video download of the seminar and helpful study guide is ideal for community groups, but also can serve for individual study.
