This week at Myrtle House Community Church, we were blessed to hear from guest speaker Stuart Watkins, who brought a heartfelt and stirring word on one of the most central, yet often misunderstood, callings in the Christian life: we are made to worship. Not just on Sunday mornings. Not only in the songs we sing. But in the whole of our being, in every corner of our daily lives, in every ordinary moment where God is present and working. Transformation Begins Within Stuart opened by reminding us that God's desire for us is transformation—the kind that starts deep inside and works its way outward. He gave this beautiful definition: “Transformation is a profound internal change of one's heart, mind and spirit, leading to new thoughts, attitudes and actions. Initiated by a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, aligning a person's core being with divine purposes.” You could almost feel the room lean in as we were reminded that transformation doesn't begin with striving… it begins with being. Worship: Not Something We Do, But Something We Are One of the most powerful themes of the morning was this truth: Worship is not an activity. Worship is an identity. Romans 12:1 calls us to “offer your bodies as a living sacrifice… this is your true and proper worship.” Worship isn't an event on a Sunday schedule. Worship is the whole orientation of our lives. Stuart said it simply: “We aren't human doers, we're human beings.” And when our being is turned toward Jesus, everything we do becomes infused with His presence. Worship is a lifestyle. It flows from the heart, shapes the atmosphere, and brings us into places of intimacy where God can transform us. Even our honesty—our raw, unfiltered prayers—become worship when they come from a heart turned toward Him. Two Kinds of People Jesus Seeks From Scripture, Stuart reminded us that Jesus is actively looking for two groups: The Lost (Luke 19:10) We were all lost once. Jesus came to seek and save us, to meet us where we were, just like Zacchaeus in the tree. Worshippers (John 4:23) Jesus told the Samaritan woman that the Father seeks true worshippers—those who worship in Spirit and in Truth. The moment we move from lost to found, we step into our new identity as worshippers. You Become What You Worship This is why worship matters so deeply. It shapes your heart, your thinking, your identity, your actions. Worship transforms us into the very image of the One we lift our eyes to. Worship in Every Season—Even the Hard Ones Stuart brought us to Acts 16, where Paul and Silas sang hymns in a prison cell. Their worship wasn't dependent on circumstance—it was anchored in identity. Even at midnight, in chains, they chose to worship. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 calls us to “give thanks in all circumstances.” Worship isn't pretending everything is perfect; it's acknowledging that God is present. Sometimes worship is loud and joyful. Sometimes worship is a silent gaze upon God's goodness, like Psalm 27 describes. Sometimes worship is sacrificial and costly, like Mary pouring perfume on Jesus' feet. But always—always—worship transforms. We Are Created to Reflect Him Stuart closed with a powerful reminder: We are created—shaped from the very beginning—to reflect the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our ministry isn't defined by roles or departments. Our first and greatest ministry is to worship Him. When worship becomes our lifestyle… Transformation becomes our story. If you missed this Sunday, take some time this week to re-centre your heart. Invite His presence in. Worship Him in the everyday moments. Let Him reshape you from the inside out. Because you were made—truly made—to worship.

Do you ever find yourself “up a tree” spiritually—stuck, searching, curious, but scared to get closer to Jesus? Zacchaeus was literally there, up a sycamore tree, trying to catch a glimpse of the Savior. But before he could find Jesus, Jesus found him. In this message, we'll see how Christ meets us in our stuck places, calls us by name, and teaches us what true forgiveness is. Pastor Schroeder's sermon preached at Faith on November 2, 2025.

I think we can all identify with the feeling of having lost something. It can be inconvenient, frustrating, sometimes even scary depending on what was lost. If the thing that was lost is important then we will spend time looking for it and we will be so excited and relieved when we find it. This sermon looks at Luke chapter 15 where Jesus tells three parables about things that are lost. In each we see the heart of Jesus for those who are lost, the effort God has put into finding those who are lost, and the joy the Lord feels when those who are lost become found. Through these parables there is a question and an invitation for those who are lost. God has provided a way to be found, but we must realize that being found by God is better than wherever we might be in our lostness.

In Luke 15 Jesus tells two different stories to help us understand that no matter how lost we are, God is coming after us.  If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist
