Covenant renewal worship is the biblically defined set liturgy of worship in the covenant of grace, as defined by scripture. It tells us that not only are the elements of worship important but also the order of worship is important. And that the New Covenant Worship is continued from the Old Covenant in many ways. Jesus' death abolished all animal sacrifice (Hebrews 10:4) but it did not abolish all sacrifice. We are to offer ourselves as "Living Sacrifices" to God (Romans 12:1). The sacrifices of the Old Testament not only point forward to the atoning work of Christ on the cross, they also point forward to our worship as living sacrifices.

1) Jesus' death in Hebrews is saying that Christ's death we better than animal sacrficies (and abolishes the cermonial law). This kind of sacrifice is definitely not the same as Romans 12:1. Nor is Romans 12:1 referring to public worship where we are to sacrifice, but in all of life be holy and pleasing to God (this is only possible through Christ --> see Romans 1-11.
2) This doesn't prove Covenant Renewal Worship to be true and right and biblical.
