A Liturgy is the order of your actions

slide-3
SLIDE 3

Increasingly, we find ourselves “de-storied” and lost in the universe, captive to the forces

  • f individualism, consumerism, and nationalism.
slide-4
SLIDE 4

Individualism Consumerism Nationalism Liturgies that lead us to meaninglessness, despair, and ultimately death. We need a better story.

slide-5
SLIDE 5

The enduring power of Christian liturgy is precisely in that, for the liturgy tells the Story of Christ as the true account of

  • ur lives, and it is through the liturgy that we come to ever-fresh

and deeper understandings of who we are and how we “fit” in the cosmos, of our nature and destiny as human beings.

“The Centerpiece of our worship is Jesus Christ, his incarnation, death resurrection,

  • verthrow of evil, and return to establish

his kingdom. This metanarrative is the key to the content and meaning of worship.” Robert E Webber from Ancient- Future Faith.

Sacramental Imagination vs Protestant Imagination

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Protestant Imagination What happens when we remove the sacraments? We make other things sacramental.

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Things that are not sacraments: Singing (We don't gather for a worship leader) Sermons (We don't gather for a teacher) You can purchase or stream worship music. You can podcast a sermon. Sacraments are not meant as individualistic consumer options.

slide-32
SLIDE 32

Sacramental Imagination vs Protestant Imagination 1) Do you value the sacraments? 2) Does your liturgy reflect your values? 3) Does your liturgy point you to Jesus Christ? 4) Is your liturgy Trinitarian?

All: Godliness with contentment is great gain.
 We bring nothing into this world,
 and we take nothing out of it. 
 We who call Jesus Lord devote ourselves to resisting greed, which plunges the human heart into ruin, and pierces it with many griefs.

slide-55
SLIDE 55

We are determined to practice generosity with 
 free hearts, fixing our hope on God, and not the uncertainty of wealth. 
 We desire to be rich in good deeds and willing to share all that we have, laying up for ourselves treasure that will not decay but will shine 
 in the age to come.

Revelation 2:1-7 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:
 These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden

  • lampstands. I know your deeds, your hard work and your
  • perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked

people, that you have testedthose who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.

slide-58
SLIDE 58

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its

  • place. But you have this in your favor: You hate the

practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the

  • churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right

to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

Ira Glass speaking of creative work, said, “For the first couple of years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase; they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this.

slide-66
SLIDE 66

We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know that it’s normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. It’s gonna take a while. It’s normal to take a while. You just gotta fight your way through it.” Ira Glass
