Episode 16: How to Use the Fourfold Pattern of Worship in a Modern Church, Part 1

Summary

We’re diving into the practical application of something that Dr. Lester Ruth introduced us to in Episode 13, which is the ancient fourfold pattern of worship.

Lester gave us some fantastic ideas to implement that order of worship. But I wanted to dig even deeper, so I asked worship leader, teacher, and theologian RobStill to help us apply the fourfold pattern of worship into our modern worship settings.

Even if you are in a modern church setting, don’t dismiss this idea of the fourfold pattern of worship. It’s not just a liturgical thing or just a traditional thing. It can bring a more meaningful journey to your worship services.

In part 1 of this interview, we lay the groundwork for understanding how the fourfold pattern of worship fits, and then talk practically about the first two movements. In part 2, we discuss the second two patterns and talk about how to include this model in different settings.
