I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me. — Leviticus 10:3
Is your worship pleasing to God?
In this piercing yet refreshing series of sermons, the beloved Puritan preacher Jeremiah Burroughs calls believers to a reverent, Scripture-based approach to worship. Originally delivered during the 1600s, preserved from his pulpit notes and now in updated, modern English, Gospel Worship is a sobering reminder that drawing near to God is no frivolous matter. How we worship reveals what we believe about the God we worship.
With careful exposition of Leviticus 10:3, Burroughs shows that worship must be governed by God’s Word, not our inventions. He exposes the subtle dangers of “strange fire” (practices which God has not commanded) and pleads with readers to truly reverence the Lord in the ordinances: in prayer, in hearing the Word, and in the Lord’s Supper.
Profound, practical, and deeply convicting, Gospel Worship is both a theological treatise and a devotional aid – meant to reform our worship and rekindle our reverence for our awesome and powerful God.

1 review for Gospel Worship
This book is a compilation of 14 sermons by Jeremiah Burroughs taken from the text in Leviticus 10:3 which says, “Moses then said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord spoke of when he said: “’Among those who approach me I will show myself holy; in the sight of all the people I will be honored.’” Aaron remained silent.”
As I read each sermon, I wondered how he would find enough material to preach another sermon and then another sermon on this verse. But he did! Remarkably, each one is unique and contains many points. These are not milk of the Word sermons, but meaty sermons. Quite frankly, there’s so much that could be shared that I’m struggling with what to put in this review to keep it at a moderate length.
The author’s main theme throughout all 14 sermons was sanctification. Burroughs comes at this theme from so many different angles. Here’s a quote regarding sanctification from Sermon 3: “When I come to worship God, I must lay aside all, for there is the preparation of the heart, the separating it of it for such a work – for that is the nature of sanctification. It is the separating of a thing from a common use. If I am to worship God, I must labor to separate my heart from a common use. At other times, God gives me liberty to let out my heart to common uses; but now when I come to worship Him, I must separate my heart from all common uses so that my heart may be wholly for God.”
Another from Sermon 6, “God does not require us to come and confess our sins in order to know that which He did not know before, but that there might be a testimony that you ae willing for Him to know all that is in your heart. Therefore, when you come to worship Him now, ransack every corner of your heart, confess everything before the Lord, and give glory to His name, for God is an all-seeing God who knows all the windings and turnings of your heart. Meditate now on these things that are presented to you, and it will be a mighty means to help you sanctify His name.”
Sermons 13 and 14 took the theme of sanctifying God’s name in prayer. In regards to the miscellaneous thoughts that seem to clutter our minds when we go to pray, Burroughs had this to say, “take heed that you are not deceived because those thoughts you have in prayer do not appear to be very evil in themselves. This is a great deceit and hinders many in sanctifying God’s name in prayer. Sometimes some vain thoughts dart into the mind, and because the thought has not great evil in itself, therefore they think they may dwell upon it, and their hearts consider it, … remember this rule, that in the time of prayer, whatever thoughts are in your mind that do not concern the present duty, they are sinful before God. Even though the matter of the thoughts might be good, yet you are to abandon them as sinful at that time.”
I really don’t know how to gather all my thoughts about this book in a sentence or two, so I will say that it is an excellent read for those who want to go deeper with Christ. What he has to say is convicting at times, but not condemning. Burroughs understands God’s grace.
The thought that God can use a minister who lived in the 1600s to speak words of edification to his brothers and sisters in Christ who are living 300 years after him is pretty spectacular.
I’m rating this book as 4.5 stars and recommend it for believers who want to go deeper in their walk with Christ.
