Bringing Glory to the name of Jesus is a ridiculously great thing that we get to do as the Church. We live in a broken world. People all around us are meant to be worshiping God and they aren’t. John Piper said in the Opening lines of a book called “Let the Nations be Glad” that, “Missions exist because worship doesn’t.” In other words, the reason why the church is on mission is so that—by God’s Grace—he will use us to draw everyone to worship the true and living God. When we meet as the Body of Christ, we are engaging in a redeeming act in our City because we are making such a clear proclamation with our loud voices (hopefully they are loud!) that the name of Jesus is great. When people see us doing what we were meant to do it is a chance that they too might come to do what they were created for as well. And thus, we worshiped, and these were the tunes that we sang:
