What is the point of Sunday morning worship? Is it for believers? Seekers? Both? Does it matter whether we're singing hymns with a choir and an organ or raising our hands to contemporary praise songs with guitars and drums?What does the Bible say about it all?Creeds? Responsive readings/liturgy... how often should we be taking communion? Who should be leading singing? Should we even be using instruments? Who says?Evan McClanahan will be repping for "Team Liturgy," and talking about how high church is more than just a preferred style.Mon'Sher Spencer will advocate for a more contemporary "low church" feel and share her own experience as a worship leader in that context.

Worship Leader Taylor Cummings examines the account of Samuel responding to God's call, emphasizing the power of being fully present and the beauty of inviting the Lord to speak beyond a simple name.
John Kralik was in a bad place. The LA attorney was generally miserable…divorced again, broke, and living in a dingy apartment with no air conditioning. He was also struggling to pay his employees because clients wouldn't pay him. Not exactly glamorous, but then John did an amazing thing. He decided he would concentrate on things to be grateful for, and follow that up with writing a thank you note every day for an entire year.Over time, and not too slowly actually, John's life began to improve. Life looked good again. One of the greatest outcomes has been the influence he's had on others. His book, “A Simple Act of Gratitude: How Learning To Say Thank You Changed My Life” sold like crazy. He said that the year-long thank you notes helped him prioritize good things, and helped him focus on that.John also has noticed a really interesting thing. A person's natural tendency is to focus on nine things that go wrong. Yet what would happen if we focused instead on even a single good thing? He understands that we all can help each other. Rising tide lifts all boats, as they say. Just as we can help others form the discipline of gratitude, they can be our accountability in a very real way.Every day we can text, email, call, or otherwise communicate to friends and family things that we're grateful for. In turn, we can receive their good reports. Colossians 3:15 says, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts to which indeed you were called in one body and be thankful.”Whether it's a community of believers or simply the wider culture, we can help each other every single day by passing along what we're grateful for. There's power in telling another what they mean to you, or passing along thanks for something as simple as a shared meal. Such a choice doesn't cost anything, but it piles up spiritual treasure for us. Pretty soon you'll be grateful just for being grateful.Let's pray. Father God, your blessings to us are endless. From the perfect distance from the sun for proper warmth and light to the love that you placed in our hearts for family and friends, you're a good God, and you're deserving of our praise. We look forward to a glorious future with you. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

The author of Colossians confronts a perennial question of faith, offering people of every era a clear standard for knowing whom and what to follow in a faithful life.Preaching text: Colossians 2:6-10Bible for Worship is a weekly introduction to the scripture passage that is likely to be the basis for the sermon on the following weekend.

A caller asks whether Muslims truly worship the same God as Christians. In this episode, Catholic apologist, Dr. Karlo Broussard, explains the Church's teaching from Lumen Gentium and the Catechism, clarifying how Islam's incomplete understanding of God still refers to the one true Creator. The conversation also touches on key differences between the faiths and what authentic interreligious respect looks like.

Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:04 – If we can’t control how people see us, how is it then that we can be culpable for the sin of scandal? 11:50 – Does the lack of understanding of a mortal sin mitigate something being a mortal sin? For example, if a person views pornography but doesn’t believe it’s a mortal sin, is it still a mortal sin? 21:02 – How does the pope calling the crusades and saying going on a crusade forgives sins, fall into the doctrine of the papacy? 29:23 – Can you explain how Muslims worship the same God even with an incomplete understanding of him? 37:04 – I'm not Catholic. I was shocked to hear that Catholics believe that the biblical story of the flood is allegorical. Is this true? 45:48 – Are we obligated to forgive those who have not repented of sinning against us? 50:34 – Why does a person who wants to be baptized have to wait until going through class up until Easter?
Today on the podcast, I sat down with Brian Slipka. Brian is the founder of True North, a founding group of businesses that together bring in over a quarter billion dollars a year. But this isn't just a business story. While visiting his dad in hospice, Brian was asked a question that completely shifted how he viewed success. It moved him from chasing profits and personal ambition, to living with eternal purpose. Now, Brian sees his work as worship. He's using his influence and impact to point people to Jesus.

“But the Lord said to her, ‘My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.’” (Luke 10:41–42 NLT) If your aim is to experience genuine revival in your spiritual life, in addition to being an ambassador for Christ and a neighbor like Christ, you must also be a worshiper of Christ. That’s the third ministry role found in Luke 10. Some believers make the mistake of allowing their work for God to overshadow their worship of God. They convince themselves that what they say or do is indispensable to God’s kingdom. That their ministry is vital to the success of the Christian faith. That God needs them. Newsflash: God doesn’t need us. Another newsflash: Everything that believers do must emanate from our worship of God. Worship is the source of our power and effectiveness, so it must be our top priority. If it isn’t, we will not burn bright for Christ. We won’t feel a sense of revival. Instead, we’ll find ourselves burning out. We can’t give out what we don’t possess. We can’t take people any further than we’ve gone ourselves. We see this principle played out in the story of Jesus’ visit to the house of his friends Mary, Martha, and Lazarus in Luke 10. Storm clouds were looming large in the life of the Lord. In fact, He was on His way to Jerusalem to be crucified. Before that happened, He wanted to talk about the coming changes with His friends. This was an important evening. Martha’s instinct was to prepare a good meal for Jesus—to stay busy doing things for Him. Mary, on the other hand, “sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught” (Luke 10:39 NLT). Martha saw obligation; Mary saw opportunity. The Creator of the universe, in human form, was sitting in her house, revealing life-changing spiritual truths. As far as Mary was concerned, washing dishes and setting the table could wait. Her priority was to spend as much time as possible in Jesus’ presence. Martha grew annoyed with Mary for not joining her in her busy work. She took her complaint to Jesus. “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me” (verse 40 NLT). Jesus helped her see where her priorities were out of order. “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her” (verses 41–42 NLT). There’s a time for work and a time for worship. Martha’s mistake was offering activity instead of adoration, perspiration instead of inspiration, and work instead of worship. She didn’t realize that Jesus preferred her company over her service in that situation. He wanted her fellowship and companionship more than He wanted a meal. There are countless ways to serve Jesus, but our worship must come first. That’s where our spiritual power and energy come from. That’s where revival begins. What we do with Christ is far more important than what we do for Christ. Reflection question: What can you do to revitalize your Christian worship?

With the tech boom has come concerns that we are constantly under surveillance, or being watched. And maybe that's not all a conspiracy theory. But no one in the world knows everything about us. There is still some privacy, some places we can go away from prying eyes.Except…Psalm 69:5 says, “O God, you know my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.”We know that we serve the One True God, the One that made everything we see. Part of His infinite knowledge is every single thing about each person. That's a mind-bender and can actually seem a little scary, but ultimately it's for our own good. If we mess up, He is there to restore us and heal our shame.While others gather data on us that could be embarrassing, God wants only what's best for us. He holds us up to the light of His righteousness, and that reality should be all the motivation we need to live holy lives.Let's pray.Lord, we can feel very, very foolish in your eyes. But we thank you for the accountability you give us, for our own good. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

The heathen prophet Bilaam's unique talent and prophetic edge was in knowing the precise split-second when Hashem's attribute of judgment is awakened. He sought out this fraction of a second, so fleeting that it could not be measured, in order to utter his curses with greatest effect. But his curses turned to blessings, and his words became conduits for Divine light. In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman ponder the timeless, and very contemporary, lessons learned from the manipulative spiritual paganism of Bilaam, who sought to weaponize Divine power for self-serving purposes. _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, Inc., a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow:PayPal: infojerusalemlights@gmail.com or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?loc...In the USA: Jerusalem Lights Inc.

It's almost universally believed that tech guru Steve Jobs floated into mega success with Apple, the company he co-founded with Steve Wozniak.Job's first go-around at Apple didn't end well in 1985, when he was forced out. His next effort wasn't a home run either, yet Jobs put his head down like a fullback and plowed ahead. Next up for him was founding Pixar and finally, more than a decade after his humiliating exit from Apple, Jobs returned there as CEO and revolutionized the way people interacted with computers.Writing about him after his death, Jason Demur said that, “Steve Jobs is lasting evidence that you should never count somebody out—even yourself.” In other words, even if someone pushes you back, you have to keep moving forward. Believe it or not a fellow tech icon, Bill Gates, also had to learn the hard way. His first venture with business partner Paul Allen was a complete failure, but Gates said many times in the years since that learning from failures leads to success, and Microsoft is proof of that.Christian Ministry leader Jo Walls has some interesting things to say to Christians who have perhaps grown too comfortable in their faith, and she addresses herself first. She says, “God's been talking to me lately about being too comfortable. He's challenging me in some ways that I'm not real thrilled about. He's pushing me to grow,” and in fact, He's telling her to ‘cheer up buttercup—life can be a grind,' and that's when we need to push through.Even though it can sometimes sting when someone tells us to chin up, it's ultimately for our good. And let's face it—most of us know it feels good to overcome something really difficult.Psalm 46:1 says, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” When your life is spent following Jesus, fear disappears in the light of God's reassuring love. He has a plan for you, and you don't have to walk in the shadows when God's got your back. Every moment of every day is brighter knowing our Heavenly Father watches over us.The unknown doesn't have to be cause for worry. It's an opportunity for God to work on your behalf. Hand the details over to Him and wait patiently and faithfully for His good plan to come to fruition. The joy of knowing we can always depend on God is a message worth sharing.Let's pray.Lord, we need your strength every single day. We know that some things just don't come easy. Thank you for bringing us along the way you do. We pray and believe. It feels good to emerge from difficulty and realize that the strength you gave us pulled us out of despair. In Jesus' name, amen.

Many people take pride in being independent, and if you called them “sheep” it would be an insult. Yet in Biblical times, being a sheep with a good shepherd meant that you did not want for anything.

Pastor Jesus Arriaga reads Psalm 100, inviting us to shout joyfully, serve with gladness, and enter God's presence with thanksgiving as we celebrate His enduring mercy and faithfulness. He then leads a heartfelt prayer asking the Lord to continue guiding each listener in power and grace.

Don’t Let Anger Win: Reconciliation Over RetaliationMatthew 5:23-24 reminds us of something radical: God values restored relationships even more than religious rituals. In this heartfelt reflection, the author shares how God transformed her marriage—not through dramatic breakthroughs, but through a thousand quiet nudges toward humility, grace, and emotional honesty. Worship didn’t erase the tension overnight, but as she sat in God’s presence week after week, He slowly softened her heart. He gave her eyes to see her husband’s pain, not just her own. And in that holy space, she learned that bitterness may feel justified—but it will never satisfy.

In this episode of the Church Planter Podcast, Chestly Lunday sits down with worship leader and songwriter Robbie Seay to explore one of the most overlooked aspects of church planting: worship. Together they unpack why worship leaders are more than song leaders, how vision shapes worship culture, and why community is essential for avoiding burnout.Robbie shares insights from his work with The Worship Initiative, offering practical ways church planters can cast compelling vision, disciple their worship teams, and build churches where Christ is exalted and the congregation sings.

This week, Terrence kicked off a new three-week sermon series titled Echo — a call to examine the culture of worship both inside the church and in our everyday lives. It's an invitation to live in a way that mirrors the eternal worship in heaven. Worship should echo heaven — meaning our lives here on earth are meant to reflect and magnify God's glory. Terrence reminded us that all of life is worship. Whether we realize it or not, everything we say and do either reflects or distorts God's image. The way we worship — at home, at work, in traffic, or in trials — declares something to the world. And when we choose to live a life of worship, God meets us not just with strength, but with peace. When our worship is reactive, reflective, and missional, it transforms lives. When our lives are grounded in worship, we experience peace — a desperately needed resource in today's chaotic world. By fixing our minds on the throne of God and offering worship through every act, we join the eternal song of heaven and radiate hope into every area of life.
Terrence joins our worship leaders for another special episode of the Northeast Podcast. In this series, we're diving into the heart of worship—exploring how God is calling us, as a church, to deepen our worship culture, make it more centered on Him, and align more fully with His purpose for our lives and community. This episode serves as companion content for our church's three-week worship series, Echo. Our hope is that it encourages you to engage more deeply, reflect more intentionally, and grow spiritually as we walk together in this season of worship.
Honestly…sometimes, as Christians, we think things are going to be easy. After all, when Jesus saves you, it doesn't get any better than that! The joy we feel is genuine, and lasting.But—that doesn't mean we escape this world. Bad things can and do happen. This week, we're talking about having enough grit to get to the glory.Romans 5:3–4 says, “Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.”Part of our Christian walk is developing a personal faith that lasts. As Paul tells us in Romans, leaning in and learning to last is the key to it all. Listen, if you're walking through a really dark valley right now, you are not alone! Many, many people have and are going through exactly what you're going through now.If you bought into the idea that being a Christian means your life becomes easy, you need to go ahead and let that go. True faith requires us to look to the Lord when things go wrong.Stand up on your feet, Christian, and let Jesus steady you. Hold fast!Let's pray. Lord, your strength sustains us. We love you Lord—for that, and for so many more things. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!
