A unique view of Christian worship around the world.Every Sunday Christians across the globe gather to worship Jesus, their risen Lord. Together, as a worldwide community of worshippers, they obey God''s command that, "From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised" (Psalm 113:3). Christians rise, then gather together to praise God in song, to call out to him in prayer, and to hear from him through his Word.As services in Fiji draw near to a close, Australians begin to sing their own calls to worship, as do Christians in Japan and Korea. Next, millions of Chinese believers add their voices, as do Filipinos and Indonesians. By now nearly a quarter of the earth is resounding with the sound of Christian worship. And so it goes as the sun follows its course across Europe and Africa, then South America and North America. By the time it sets again far out over the Pacific, the whole earth has given praise to God. The diversity and unity of the Church in this worship is a stunning demonstration that the Gospel of the one and only Savior crosses every kind of barrier.In From the Rising of the Sun, you''ll explore eleven locations spanning the globe, witnessing different expressions of Christian worship that are consistent with Scripture but faithful to the local language, customs, and culture. Each chapter begins with a travelogue narrative that unfolds the experience of worship in a country or region and concludes with a biblical study on a particular aspect of worship or cross-cultural engagement, showing how each worship service is unique yet distinctly biblical."Follow the sun" through a day of worship, beginning in Fiji and ending in the Aleutian Islands. Join in with worship in the remote jungles of Cambodia, the bustling metropolises of Korea and Australia, the plains of Zambia, the Andean heights of Chile, and many other places. Meet fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and experience how they worship and serve God in the places he has ordained for them. This is a taste of Revelation 5:9 as we, along with our brothers and sisters worldwide, worship the One who by His blood has "ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation."Includes a code to access streaming video of the travelogue documentary!
