The connection between worship and spirituality is made in God’s story. Public worship does or acts out God’s story. Worship is a verb. Spirituality is the contemplation of God’s mighty saving deeds. . . . In both worship and spirituality we join God’s story and find ourselves and the whole world under God’s narrative. Neither worship nor spirituality has a life outside of God’s narrative. God brings us into his story, his grace, his redeeming work in all of history. He does that in our worship. He does that in our spirituality. — Robert Webber, Ancient-Future Worship: Proclaiming and Enacting God’s Narrative (Grand Rapids: Baker Books, 2008), 24.
