Reforming Worship: The Necessity of Reforming the Church with W. Robert Godfrey

Summary

This sermon analyzes Calvin's treatise on the necessity of church reform, highlighting worship as the central issue of Christianity, not just salvation or biblical authority. Calvin argued that worship should glorify God, warning against the distribution of His glory to saints and excessive ceremony, which can become theatrical and entertaining rather than drawing people to God. The practical takeaway for listeners is to honestly examine their own worship practices, questioning whether they truly focus on God and make people acceptable to Him.
