  15. An Argument for Simple New Covenant Worship

  16. Hebrews 12:28-29 … let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.

  17. Hebrews 13:1-3 Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers … Remember those who are in prison….

  18. Romans 12:1-2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

  19. Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

  20. “Christian proclamation might make the gospel audible, but Christians living together in local congregations make the gospel visible.” Mark Dever

  21. “How is it possible that the gospel should be credible, that people should come to believe that the power which has the last word in human affairs is represented by a man hanging on a cross? Leslie Newbigin

  22. I am suggesting that the only answer ... is a congregation of men and women who believe it and live by it. I am, of course, not denying the importance of the many activities by which we seek to challenge public life with the gospel– Leslie Newbigin

  23. But I am saying that these are all secondary, and that they have power to accomplish their purpose only as they are rooted in and lead back to a believing community.” Leslie Newbigin
