Podcasts about heart of worship

Have you ever found yourself going through the motions on a Sunday morning while your heart feels far away? In the book of Malachi, God speaks a surprising and uncomfortable word to people doing all the right religious things, revealing that you can spend your whole life in church and miss the very thing for which the church exists. Join us Sunday as we discover what God actually wants for us.

Psalm 63 was penned by King David while he was in the desert. He writes: My soul thirsts for You, my flesh years for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Have you ever felt like this? We all know that life can take us through some dry, parched places, but as we’ll see today in our message, Streams in the Desert, praising God for who He is … is not … and should not be dependent upon our circumstances. And to help us get right to the Heart of Worship, here’s Pastor Mark Jobe …Become part of our Advance Team: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/moodypresents/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you the type of person who looks at the little you have and wonders how it could help anyone? Or do you just feel overwhelmed by the needs of the world that you tend to put things: out of sight, out of mind? Well, in today’s study, Mark will be reminding us God’s not asking you alone to solve all of the world’s problems, but He is looking for someone willing to be used for His purposes.

In this final teaching of the series, Pastor Andy discusses the powerful results of praise.  In doing so, two deadly opposite attitudes that go unnoticed by a lot of God's people are also identified to help us live lives that are truly devoted to worshipping God in spirit and truth.  

Welcome to Moody Presents with Mark Jobe … president of Moody Bible Institute and senior pastor of New Life Community Church in Chicago. Many people are feeling overwhelmed today for a variety of reasons … work, sickness, juggling the kids, our home lives and … school. But in spite of what’s going on around us, there is hope in Jesus! Today’s message is titled, God Has a Plan and it’s a lesson from the book of John, chapter 6.

Did you know that praise and worship isn't just a warm-up for the preaching at church?  Rather, God has a very strategic initiative in mind for His people when He commands us to praise Him.  Get ready to see a side of worship that you may have never been taught or considered.

Many people think of giving to church as burdensome. Paul taught that it was an act of worship. If we love God, our hearts and wallets will be in line with his purposes and his work. We ought to give joyfully and regularly to the work of the Lord.

How does God feel about expressive worship?  And how should we feel about it?  Does God prefer somber worship only?  Or does He provide a guideline in the Bible for various expressions of praise and worship?  And are there benefits to us regarding worship?  All these questions and more are addressed as we center our discussion around King David's wife Michal, who messed up terribly one day when she saw her husband dancing before the Lord.  This story provides some vital lessons for us as we learn about re-discovering the heart of true worship.  

On today's Moody Presents we have a brand new teaching series and it centers around the life of David in the Bible. Often our hearts are fickle. Growing cold very quickly … even when it comes to the things of God. And today, Mark will be talking about the need to come back to a heart of worship. And will find out the dangers of our spiritual heart temperature tending to lower itself to the temperature of those around us …It's all up next on Moody Presents.Become part of our Advance Team: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/moodypresents/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week we left off talking about idols—specifically, how you cannot serve two masters, the results of worshipping idols, and removing idol worship from your life. It is important to really pay attention here. We can all overlook things that we think are not important. The key is that the things we think are not important may actually matter a great deal. We must train ourselves to see what Jesus thinks is important for us to have or not have in our lives. If we are the only ones evaluating our own lives, and we think we are perfect, we will likely never identify the issues and idols hidden there. Remember, if you want your life to follow Jesus, you need to become a disciple of Christ and do what He says. If you are not following Jesus and obeying all that the Bible says, then you are following idols. If you are not serving Jesus Christ, you are serving other idols. An idol can be anything that takes the place of God as the most important focus and priority in our life.Topics for this week:- You Cannot Serve Two Masters (continued)- Finding Out Who Your God Is- Results of Worshipping Idols- Removing Idol Worship from Your LifeThis program covers the following Scriptures from the Amplified Classic version (AMPC): 1 John 5:21, Matthew 6:24, 1 Kings 18:21, Luke 6:43–49, 1 Corinthians 10:6–11, Exodus 20:13–17, Hebrews 12:5–11, Leviticus 26:14–23.Support the showClick Here to Send Us Your Prayer Request.

Reverend Wilson Caldwell, preaching from Romans 12:1-2, Sunday morning April 26, 2026. At First Baptist Church of Suffolk, VA.

In this message, Pastor Caleb discusses the heart of worship and understanding what it is.  Worship is the adoration and reverence, especially to God, from the heart of a person.  Worship is not based on singing but the heart that declares love and praise for God.  Singing can be included, but it is not the only form of worship.  God is looking for those who worship Him.  Send us Fan MailSupport the showFor more information for our church visit AGCSparta.org.  

Traditional Worship, March 29, 2026

Contemporary Worship, March 29, 2026

A worship celebration with 30,000 people suddenly ended in death and fear. Today we discover what this shocking moment in 2 Samuel 6 teaches us about the heart of worship.

The sermon concludes the worship series by showing that worship is far bigger than music and centers on why humanity exists: to reflect God's glory as image-bearers. It traces how human rebellion corrupted worship, but explains that true, acceptable worship is restored through Jesus, whose perfect life, sacrifice, resurrection, and ascension allow humanity to draw near to a holy God. The heart of worship, then, is that Jesus himself is the true worshiper, gathering imperfect human worship into his own pure offering through the Holy Spirit.

Acts of worship like prayer and fasting are meant to bring us closer to the divine. But for many of us they can cause stress, guilt, shame, even fear, for example when you miss a prayer and think you'll go to hell because it is a grave sin to have missed the prayer...What if such fear, stress, guilt, and shame are actually blocking us from feeling closer to God? This episode dives into how shifting from anxiety-driven worship to love-centered #devotion transforms our #worshipexperience and fills our lives with happiness. We explore what it means that we were created to #worship God (as stated in the Quran, the Holy Scripture of the Muslims). This episode reframes worship as adoration—the highest form of love—and invites us to consciously deepen our #lovingrelationship with God.NOTE: This episode is a recording of a live that Samia did during #Ramadan2026. #Ramadan is the Muslim month of fasting.

This sermon explains that true worship is a joyful, humble response to God's immeasurable worth. Scripture shows that when people encounter God, they respond with reverence, service, and praise. Worship begins by understanding who God is—both transcendent, exalted above creation, and immanent, intimately involved with His people through Christ. Because worship reflects God's worthiness, the heart of the worshiper matters most. Genuine worship flows from obedience, repentance, and wholehearted devotion rather than empty rituals, as illustrated by Cain and Abel and Jesus' teaching on worshiping in spirit and truth. Believers are called to present their lives as living sacrifices, offering daily obedience. Worship is expressed through personal and corporate praise, focusing our attention, love, and loyalty on God alone. 

In this Leadership Lesson, we sit down with Tameeka for an honest and powerful conversation uncovering The Heart of Worship. Through a panel-style discussion, Tameeka shares her personal journey and the daily posture of worship that has shaped both her life and calling. This conversation goes beyond music and moments, it's about surrender, obedience, and leading from a place of authenticity. Whether you're serving, leading, or simply longing for a deeper connection with God, this episode invites you to rediscover what true worship looks like from the inside out.

What if worship is more than the songs we sing? In Week 1 of our series "We Are Redemption", we begin by looking at 1 of our 5 core values... worship. What it is, who it's for, and how it shapes the way we live. In Matthew 26:6–13, we see the woman with an alabaster jar and learn what worship really means. What looks wasteful to some is honored by Jesus as true worship. If you're longing for worship that goes deeper than Sunday, this message is for you.
