When God Draws Near: Exploring Worship From Seven Summits

Does going to church feel more like a duty than a privilege? Too many of us are in danger of overlooking the awesome presence of God in corporate worship. We've missed the fact that amazing things happen when God draws near.

Paul Engle invites us to join him at seven different biblical mountains where God met his worshipping people. Explore biblical history - from Sinai to Zion to Carmel to Gerizim to Hermon to the Mount of Olives to the heavenly Zion, "and gain a fresh appreciation for the awesome privilege and reward of coming into God's presence in God-centered assemblies today."

:Mountains occupy a significant place in Scripture, often functioning as "thin places" of transcendence where God draws near and makes himself known to people who respond with worship. The overarching metaphor of God's presence can be traced through biblical history as we stop at seven mountains to provide an overview of the spiritual realities present in corporate worship. Paul Engle invites you to explore the biblical views and stories, in chronological order, from Sinai, Zion, Carmel, Gerizim, Hermon, Olives and then the heavenly Zion. By the time our trip is completed, you will have a fresh appreciation for the awesome privilege and rewards of coming into God's presence in God-centered assemblies.
