New! 01E Holiness in OT/NT Worship
The words holy/holiness appear frequently in our Christian worship choruses/songs. But seldom is their biblical meaning ever explained or developed. The need for holiness is merely stated repeatedly. No content.
This PowerPoint seeks to reveal the ways holiness is used/applied in scripture. Wholeness is one of the primary meanings of holiness.

NEW! 1G Discontinuity vs Continuity
Revised, Sept 15, 2014
Why is the question “To what extent is the Old Testament discontinuous or continuous with the New Testament” so important for Christian worship? Well, it affects how seriously we take OT worship. It affects the extent to which OT practice might apply or be suggestive for worship now. Though the OT devotes more than 10 times the amount of space to worship than the NT, many evangelicals tend to “blow it off.” Yet isn’t all scripture “profitable” (II Tim 3:16)?
This PowerPoint supplements People in the Presence of God. 55 frames.

New! 1F Underlying OT Worship Theology Identical to NT?
Revised Sept 15, 2014. This is the PowerPoint I use for my first class in teaching Worship Foundations at Biola University. I try to deal with some of the negativity often associated with the Old Testament.
This PowerPoint argues that OT and NT worship is essentially identical in its underlying theology. But you ask,”Isn’t OT worship primarily about sacrifices and external worship? How could they be identical?”
PowerPoint supplementing People in the Presence of God. 34 frames.
