Join us at Twelve 5 Church as we continue our study through Chapter 22 of the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith: “Of Religious Worship and the Sabbath Day.” (part 1)
This week we will cover paragraphs 1–6, focusing on the question:
Who determines how God is worshiped?
In a culture shaped by entertainment-driven services, religious tradition, emotionalism, and personal preference, Scripture reminds us that God Himself has the authority to determine:
• how He is worshiped
• through whom He is worshiped
• what belongs in worship
• and where worship takes place
Topics covered:
• The Regulative Principle of Worship
• Regulative vs. Normative Worship
• Nadab and Abihu and “unauthorized fire”
• Images of Christ and visible representations
• Christ as the only mediator
• Biblical prayer and reverence in worship
• The ordinary means of grace
• Elements vs. circumstances in worship
• Why corporate gathering still matters under the New Covenant
Key Scriptures:
Matthew 15:9
Leviticus 10:1–3
Deuteronomy 12:32
Exodus 20:4–6
John 4:21–24
Ephesians 2:18
1 Timothy 2:5
Hebrews 10:25
1 Corinthians 14
and more.
