"THE ONLY ONE WE WORSHIP" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Matthew 3:1–17 At Jesus' baptism the Spirit descends and the Father speaks: "This is my Son." In a world of many gods and many celebrities, only one is worthy of worship — Jesus our Lord. He became man, he lived among us, he died for us, he conquered death, and he is coming back to establish a world of peace and justice. Our own baptism declares that same worship and allegiance to Jesus our Lord.
WELCOME HOME SUNDAY — "ASSEMBLY REQUIRED" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Acts 2; Hebrews 10:19–25 Walk into our worship space on a Tuesday afternoon and you'll find carpet, cables, and rows of empty chairs. It's just a room — nothing about it feels holy. So what changes on Sunday morning? Some of us have been walking into church buildings our whole lives. Others are still deciding what to make of all this. Either way, it's worth stopping to ask a question most of us never actually answer: why did God design his people to gather, and what happens in a person when they
"PRAYING THE PSALMS” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As we finish our journey through the Psalms, let's remember why God gave us this prayer book. While most of Scripture speaks to us, the Psalms give us words to answer the God who speaks first. Prayer isn't just a goal — it's the way we grow closer to God. As Psalm 25:14 says, “The friendship of the Lord is with those who fear him.” As we move into a new season, we're not leaving the Psalms behind; we carry them with us, holding onto this prayer book and the One who is always faithful.
"SUNRISE TO SUNSET" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Psalm 103 David gives us so much to unpack in this awe-inspiring psalm — blessings abundant enough to satisfy our souls in this life. How can we overlook them? A man after God's own heart, David sings through poetry about a heart made for worship. In Psalm 103, we see God's rich, steadfast love: His grace, compassion, mercy, and forgiveness that call — no, beckon — us as believers in Jesus to remember who our Lord is for us.
"JOY AND SURRENDER" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Psalm 95 calls us into worship with open arms: “Come, let us sing for joy... let us shout aloud.” But it doesn't stop at celebration — it moves us to our knees: “Come, let us bow down... let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.” True worship holds both postures: joyful praise and humble surrender. This week, we ask whether our worship is just words, or whether it shapes how we live. Let's worship with all that we are.
