Ordinary Elements of Worship

#Overview

The Confession's treatment of prayer, reading, preaching, singing, and the ordinary acts that belong in public worship.

#Key topics

• Prayer
• Reading
• Preaching
• Singing

These topics mark the doctrinal and navigational center of the page ¹.

#Worship and the Sabbath

This chapter is a major hinge in the Confession because it connects the theology of God and Scripture to the actual practice of gathered worship and Lord's Day holiness ¹.

#Ordinary elements and holy time

The subarticles point toward the ordinary elements of worship, the Sabbath day, and the reverence that gives ordered service its shape.

#Study note

A reader should use this page to move from principle to practice, then follow the child pages for narrower doctrinal and liturgical study.
