Recovering a vision for what Church is meant to be begins and ends with Jesus.

Journaling Prompts

When you hear the word worship, what pops into your mind? Where, if at all, does Christ being our High Priest fit into that picture? Consider why that might be.


What is your relationship with “Church?” How does the claim that the Church is necessary as a worshipping community compatible or incompatible with that current relationship? What resistance to this idea do you feel? What relief?

How does worship being something Christ does for us rather than something we do for Christ help you begin to reimagine worship’s place in your life?

Practice — Silent Prayer

Set aside a few minutes of quiet. Draw your attention to Christ mediating you to God and God to you—to the commune you have with Godself in Jesus.

As you are able hold this reality in your mind: in Christ, you are being offered to God, and in Christ God is being offered to you.

Simply sit in that reality. God is with you and you are with God in Christ. In this moment you need not do or say anything, have nothing to prove, nothing to perform—just be with the God who is with you.
