Description

The Greek word leitourgia (pronounced: li-tour-jia) means, “service,” “ministry,” or
“worship”—a concept profuse in the New Testament. Often, however, one thinks
of either Sunday service or singing at the beginning of a service as “worship,” and
being a pastor or a missionary as engaging in Christian “service.” The purpose of
these collective essays is to show that (a) every Christian is mandated to live a life
of worshipful service or serving worship and (b) Christian service is versatile—from
Bible translation to caring for needy widows. But is it trivializing to equate service
with worship?
