This Sunday, we continue our study on what it means to worship God in spirit and in truth, and how that truth shapes the whole of the Christian life.
Last week, we laid the foundation by seeing that access to God is not tied to a place, but is granted through Christ alone. Because of His finished work, we are brought near to God and can worship Him wherever we are.
We also saw that because God is spirit, true worship must flow from a regenerated heart: one marked by sincerity, humility, and a genuine desire to know Him and glorify Him. Outward expression can never replace inward reality; external form is empty if the heart is far from God.
And because God has revealed Himself in truth, our worship must be governed by His Word. Scripture is the final authority over what we believe and how we live before Him. Therefore, every area of life is to be shaped by His truth rather than our preferences or traditions.
When God is rightly worshiped in spirit and in truth, according to who He is and what He has revealed, it brings Him glory, strengthens His people, and produces deep, enduring joy in the believer.
Over the next several weeks, we will be walking through how this calling is lived out in three primary spheres of life: the individual, the family, and the church.
However, in these first weeks, we will focus specifically on the individual life. We will begin with the believer’s private devotion: our personal walk with God in prayer, Scripture, and communion with Him. From there, we will move into our relationships, then our public conduct, and finally how the individual life carries into and strengthens our participation in the church.
This progression matters, because weakness or confusion in the individual life inevitably affects every other sphere.
We would love for you to join us as we grow together in these truths.
May the peace of God, and of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, be with you all.
