Wesleyan Foundations for Faithful Callings: Worship in the Beauty of Holiness

Dr. David Gyertson, in his message titled “Wesleyan Foundations for Faithful Callings: Worship in the Beauty of Holiness,” shares how “holy worship” has always been a hallmark of the Wesleyan tradition. He shares how genuine, theologically rich worship is emphasized in John Wesley’s instruction and embodied in Charles Wesley’s hymnody. Drawing on Psalm 96 and other scriptures, Dr. Gyertson shares how this holy worship is motivated by honoring God more than mere self-reflection. He also shares how the practice of singing boldly together facilitates unity among the worshipping community and unity with God, whom we are preparing to worship for eternity.
