(June 25, 2023 | Pastor Matthew Yeomans) Throughout our lives, we may have witnessed acts of worship that have been burned into our memories—instances where individuals poured out their hearts and lives to honor and adore Jesus without reservation. Have you ever found yourself tempted to criticize or ridicule those sincere acts of worship or offerings to God? Join us this week as we discover how sacrificial worship captivates Jesus' heart, even when it may be unappreciated by others. As we explore the purpose of worship, we are challenged to understand that our worship is not primarily for our own enjoyment. Each time we gather to worship, our hearts and minds become battlegrounds. We are challenged to reflect on our own reactions when confronted with worship that may offend our sensibilities, and we are reminded that God deserves our utmost devotion and worship in a way that truly honors and adores Him.
