Pt. 9 - Irresistible Worship
• Series: CHURCH DNA
In his sermon, "Irresistible Worship", Pastor Chris explores the essence of worship as an intimate, genuine expression of love and reverence for God that transcends mere singing along. Drawing from his own life and experiences in the "worship wars," he highlights how church services can sometimes lose focus, turning worship into a selection of songs that people simply sing along with, rather than directing their hearts to God. He contrasts this with the vibrant, uninhibited worship described in Psalm 100, where worship involves not just singing but an all-encompassing devotion and joyful service. Worship, he says, is ultimately about recognizing God's supreme worth and allowing that recognition to permeate every part of life. Through passionate praise, we show God’s true value to others, making worship a form of evangelistic proclamation that invites all people to experience God’s goodness, love, and inclusion. Pastor Chris ends by reminding the congregation of the access to intimacy with God that Jesus provides, encouraging them to embrace worship as a deep, heartfelt relationship with the divine.
