The Apostle Peter says that the end of our salvation, the purpose of our life, the reason He saved us was for a singular reason: to declare His praises. Worship has always been central at GPC. The centrality of worship is even reflected in the architecture: the building is built around a sanctuary.

Worship, however, is not limited to what is done on Sunday morning, but is invading all areas of our life. Paul says whatever we do, in word or deed, we are to do in the name of the Lord. As we want our lives to be lived in the light of His worship so we want the light of His worship to go the nations.

Worship is the submission of all our nature to God. It is the quickening of conscience by His holiness; the nourishment of mind with His truth; the purifying of imagination by His beauty; the opening of the heart to His love; the surrender of will to His purpose-and all this gathered up in adoration, the most selfless emotion of which our nature is capable and therefore the chief remedy for that self-centeredness which is our original sin and the source of all actual sin.

William Temple
