Abstract
Images of God in the liturgy In this article, the research hypothesis is that a one-sided liturgy leads to a watered-down image of God. When room for God is not created in the liturgy, God is not encountered in all God’s glory. As a result, worshippers cannot fully bring homage to God’s glory. From this perspective, the article explores the different faces of God in the liturgy. These diverse images of God lead to a rich diversity of views and experiences of God by worshippers.

Summary
Wanneer daar na die geduldige en genadige God verwys word, moet in gedagte gehou word dat dit nie God se misterie ophef nie. Soms kan mense God eenvoudig nie begryp nie. In dié verband kan daar na die ‘donker psalm’, Psalm 88, verwys word. In die psalm is God se handelinge duister. Of is, in soverre God wel aanwesig is, ‘n onpersoonlike en vyandige mag (Schuman 2008:105)
