Author of "Worship Seeking Understanding" John Witvliet Talks Covenant Renewal

Sojourn Worship Arts Pastor Mike Cosper recently sat down with Dr. John Witvliet, Director of the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship and author of Worship Seeking Understanding, to talk about covenant renewal as a worship practice.  In this short audio they discuss:

the nature of a covenant relationship such as marriage, and our covenant with Christ

the Lord’s Supper as the covenant renewal of the New Testament

How all marriages — like the marriage of Christ to His church — are renewed through certain rituals, purposeful time together, terms of endearment and spoken promises, and more

The benefits and dangers of introducing new disciplines and practices within a church body

How to create a balanced diet of theological themes in music and liturgical elements

Suggested resources for digging deeper into an understanding of covenant renewal.
