A pastor cannot lead us into God's presence. Nor can a worship leader, or a Christian artist, or a song, or singing. Not even worship can lead us into God's presence. Only Jesus can, through the power of the Holy Spirit. This seminar explored the wonderful truth that when we gather, our living Lord is present and active in our midst?empowering, perfecting and leading our worship. Behind all true worship, regardless of its form or style, is the present mediating ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.
