Podcasts about heart of worship

What is God looking for? What kind of heart will he find on a sunday morning at church? What is the positioning of your heart during worship? Who said we had to only do 3 songs? Who said it had to be this way? Who said church has to be in that order? I believe church should be Holy Spirit led, ONLY. We need to take out our preferences, our expectations, and fix our eyes and heart on God. Listen and be encouraged as I share about spontaneous worship!    Instrumental Background music Spontaneous Worship   Freebie- www.simplyjenniferbrown.com  

 Matthew 21 opens with Jesus's Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem—his coronation as King. Pastor Karl unpacks why this moment was unlike any earthly coronation: a king who arrived not on a warhorse but on a humble donkey, fulfilling prophecies spoken generations earlier through Isaiah, Zechariah, and Daniel. As King, Jesus fulfills God's mission, exercises God's authority, restores proper worship according to God's Word, and extends God's compassion. From the crowds shouting "Hosanna" to Jesus clearing the temple of corruption, this passage reveals a King who demands total allegiance while never withholding compassion from those who come to Him in need.

Romans 12:1-2 is our anchor...The Message version: “So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him." Your pain has purpose. God is your refuge. Your worship can and will sustain you.

Worship is a posture of your heart and an overflow of the relationship you are cultivating with God. At the heart of worship is the posture of Heneni - Here am I, ALL of me. It is an awareness of God - who He is and what He has done - and then a whole life response to God. In order to live a life of worship, we need to understand that we were actually created TO worship. AW Tozer said, “The purpose of nature is to lead us to the Creator and to worship Him. The purpose of man's feelings and emotions is to lead to the One who implanted those within the heart of man, to the Creator. Everything in all of creation is to point to the Creator and evoke within adoring wonder and admiration and worship. Wherever we go, we can worship."

How do we physically worship Jesus? We raise our hands and worship with all our hearts!

Worship, week one

SummaryIn this episode, we explore the core functions of a healthy, text-driven church, emphasizing the importance of worship rooted in Scripture. We discuss how evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, service, and prayer all point upward to worship and how immersing in God's Word transforms our worship experience.

Sometimes we are on a mountain top of victory. Other times we are in a valley of defeat. What do you do? Do you give up or do you turn to praise?

Exodus 32:1-4 - This message explores how the Israelites' worship of the golden calf reveals that idolatry is ultimately a heart issue, not merely an external action. It challenges believers to examine what truly holds first place in their lives, reminding us that worship is about loving and surrendering our whole lives to God rather than simply participating in religious activities.

Do you have a heart of worship? It's not about going to church on Sunday, it's a heart condition.

Is tithing still relevant under the New Covenant?In Part 2 of this series, we move beyond the question of how much we should give and explore the deeper question: What kind of heart does God desire?Jesus didn't lower the standard of generosity—He raised it. Under the New Covenant, giving is no longer driven by obligation but by transformed hearts shaped by grace, trust, and love. Through the teachings of Jesus, the example of the early church, and Paul's rich theology of generosity, we discover that biblical stewardship is about far more than finances. It's about offering our whole lives to God.Together we'll explore:• Why the New Covenant transforms our motivation for giving• Jesus' teaching on treasure, trust, and seeking God's Kingdom first• The widow's offering and the generosity of the early church• Paul's vision of joyful, grace-filled generosity• Why tithing can be a wise starting point—but never the finish line• How generosity becomes a lifestyle of worship, partnership, and Kingdom impactWhether you've wrestled with questions about tithing or simply want to grow as a faithful steward of everything God has entrusted to you, this message offers a biblical, balanced, and grace-filled perspective. Sermon Notes: https://www.michurch.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/The-Tithe-Worship-Trust-and-Partnership-with-God-Week-2-Notes.pdf To support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/giveMelbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

Part 1: Roots, Law & CovenantWhat if tithing was never primarily about money?In Part 1 of our two-part series, The Tithe: A Heart of Worship, Trust, and Partnership with God, we step beyond the debates, the guilt, and the traditions to explore what Scripture actually teaches about the tithe. From Abraham and Jacob's spontaneous acts of worship, through the Mosaic Law and the prophets, we discover that tithing has always been about something much deeper than percentages.Together we'll explore:• Why everything begins with the truth that God owns it all• The biblical principle of first fruits and why giving starts with worship• How Abraham and Jacob practised tithing before the Law existed• The three Old Testament tithes and God's vision for worship, ministry, and social justice• What the prophets really meant when they challenged Israel's giving• Why generosity reveals where our trust truly lies• How tithing confronts the power of mammon and forms Christlike characterThis message is not about pressure, manipulation, or prosperity formulas. It's about discovering God's heart: a God who invites us into a life of worship, trust, generosity, and partnership in His mission.Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss Part 2, where we'll explore how Jesus and the New Testament reshape and fulfil the principles of tithing for followers of Christ today.Sermon Notes: The Tithe – Worship Trust and Partnership with God Week 1 NotesTo support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/giveMelbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.

What is true worship really about?

This episode explains the church of Ephesus message: although they did many good works, they had left their first love. We explore how good things and busy service can quietly replace a deep love for God and call listeners to repent and return to the foundational relationship with Christ.  

What you "love" you ultimately worship! Who/what are you worshiping by your desires, choices, actions and relationships? Share. Make it a great day in the Love & Lordship of Christ (Mark 12:29-31; Matthew 22:37-39)!

Can religious habits become obstacles to knowing God? In Episode 168 of the 2 Minute Disciple podcast, we meditate on Mark 7:1–8, where Jesus challenges the Pharisees for elevating human traditions above the heart of God's commands. Their concern was ceremonial handwashing, but Jesus saw a deeper issue: worship that honored God with words while the heart remained distant. This contemplative devotional explores one of the most subtle dangers of spiritual life—the drift from authentic relationship with God into mere religious routine. While traditions, practices, and rhythms can be powerful tools for spiritual growth, Jesus reminds us that they were never meant to replace genuine devotion. Through guided prayer, Scripture reflection, and a practical spiritual exercise, you'll be invited to examine your own spiritual habits and ask whether they are drawing you closer to God or simply becoming familiar routines. Whether you've been following Jesus for decades or are just beginning your faith journey, this episode offers a gentle invitation to bring your heart back into your worship. In this episode: • Mark 7:1–8 devotional reflection • Jesus and the traditions of the Pharisees • Worship from the heart • The danger of empty religious routine • Christian meditation and contemplative prayer • Spiritual renewal and authentic faith • Examining spiritual habits and practices

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.

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.
