I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me. — Leviticus 10:3

Is your worship pleasing to God?

In this piercing yet refreshing series of sermons, the beloved Puritan preacher Jeremiah Burroughs calls believers to a reverent, Scripture-based approach to worship. Originally delivered during the 1600s, preserved from his pulpit notes and now in updated, modern English, Gospel Worship is a sobering reminder that drawing near to God is no frivolous matter. How we worship reveals what we believe about the God we worship.

With careful exposition of Leviticus 10:3, Burroughs shows that worship must be governed by God’s Word, not our inventions. He exposes the subtle dangers of “strange fire” (practices which God has not commanded) and pleads with readers to truly reverence the Lord in the ordinances: in prayer, in hearing the Word, and in the Lord’s Supper.

Profound, practical, and deeply convicting, Gospel Worship is both a theological treatise and a devotional aid – meant to reform our worship and rekindle our reverence for our awesome and powerful God.
