Heaven: There and Back Again

Hope Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem Sermons

Series: Revelation: Unveiled HopeScripture: Revelation 4:1-11 “Worship is the strategy by which we interrupt our preoccupation with ourselves and attend to the presence of God.” Eugene Peterson “Worship is the arena in which God recalibrates our hearts, reforms our desires, and rehabituates our loves. Worship isn’t just something we do; it is where God does something to us. Worship is the heart of discipleship because it is the gymnasium in which God retrains our hearts.” James K.A. Smith “Beethoven … turned out pieces of breath-taking rightness. Rightness — that’s the word! When you get the feeling that whatever note succeeds the last is the only possible note that can rightly happen at that instant, in that context, then chances are you’re listening to Beethoven… Our boy has the real goods, the stuff from Heaven, the power to make you feel at the finish: Something is right in the world. There is something that checks throughout, that follows its own law consistently: something we can trust, that will never let us down.” Leonard Bernstein, The Joy of MusicThe post Heaven: There and Back Again first appeared on Hope Church PCA.
