An Introduction to Worship
In this powerful exploration of true worship, we're challenged to look beyond the surface of our religious activities and dive deep into the heart of our relationship with God. The sermon takes us to John 4, where Jesus encounters the Samaritan woman at the well. This pivotal conversation reveals that worship isn't about a place or ritual, but about connecting with God in spirit and truth. We're reminded that worship is an attitude, not just an activity. It's about encountering the living God, not just going through the motions. The message urges us to prepare our hearts through honest confession and prayer before we even step into a church building. Are we truly meeting with God when we worship, or are we merely participating in a social gathering? This sermon calls us to examine our hearts and motivations, encouraging us to move beyond surface-level religion to a transformative, personal relationship with our Creator.
