Hearing the stories of God’s works as they are read from Scripture, listening to the preaching of the Word, singing about Yahweh’s heroics against Philistine and Canaanite, reciting the creeds, and commemorating Christ’s victory on the cross at the Lord’s table, we, the new Israel, are renewed in the story of God. In worship, the gospel becomes the narrative atmosphere in which we live and move and have our being.
Worship is remembering and celebrating God’s saving acts, and therefore worship is history class.
-Peter Leithart, Against Christianity, 65-66.
