“Before The Throne” was birthed out of a series of conversations taking place between churches all across North America, facilitated by the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Calvin uses the term “Vertical Habits” to describe the dialogue between God and us, and it challenged churches to come up with ways to teach the concept of worship as a life lived before the throne of God, where each day we are talking and listening to God, praising and confessing, offering and receiving.

Sojourn took up this challenge with our CD “Before The Throne,” as well as a visual art presentation and prose devotional.  To read about this and Vertical Habits projects from other churches, visit the Calvin Institute. 

You’ll find quotes from Worship Arts Pastor Mike Cosper, visual arts leader Michael Winters, links to an mp3 and chord chart for “We Are Listening” from “Before The Throne,” and more.  Also click here to read more about “Before The Throne,” and what other churches are doing.
