In this message from our Who We Are series, Pastor Robey Barnes takes us into Revelation 19, where John hears a great multitude cry out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.” Heaven is celebrating the marriage supper of the Lamb, and the bride has been granted fine linen, bright and pure. We could never make ourselves worthy of Jesus—it had to be given to us through the sacrifice of the Lamb. Then, in the middle of that worship, John falls at the feet of an angel and is told, “Worship God.” If even John needed that reminder, none of us are exempt. We can be consumed by a relationship, a goal, or a circumstance—even by worship itself—instead of Jesus. Revelation reveals Jesus as the groom we were made for, the judge who gives us our validation, and the King who returns crowned with many crowns. When we keep Him at the center, we are being made ready for Him.

Why do Christians worship, raise their hands, sing, clap, and praise God together?In this message, Pastor Ryan Visconti breaks down what the Bible teaches about praise and worship—why we worship, what worship actually is, how God desires to be worshiped, and how worship changes us. Worship isn't simply music or a warm-up before the sermon. It is our response to who God is and everything He has done for us through Jesus. Because Christ died for our sins, rose again, rescued us, and gave us eternal life, God is worthy of our praise whether we feel like worshiping or not.Pastor Ryan also explains the biblical practices of singing, raising our hands, clapping, shouting, surrendering, and worshiping sincerely without worrying about what others think. Worship not only honors God—it renews our minds, brings encouragement, points people toward Jesus, and helps us experience God's presence in a powerful way. The goal isn't to perform or follow a church culture, but to worship God the way Scripture teaches us and give Him the response He deserves.

Main point: God cares not only that you worship, but how you worship. 1. How to do it: orderly (Leviticus 6:8-7:38) a. Constantly: Keep the fire burning (6:8-13) b. Carefully: Handle holy things with care (6:14-7:21) c. Correctly: Get every portion where it should go (7:22-38) 2. Jesus did it (Hebrews 9:11-14, 12:28) 3. Application: So watch how you worship (1 Corinthians 14)

Pathfinder Church | September 13, 2026 | AJ MasticThe modern world offers many different paths to happiness. It feels like an incredible stroke of luck that we live in a time when we can personally explore so many of them; yet few things seem to satisfy for long. Do we just need to keep trying paths until we find the one(s) that grant longer-lasting happiness, or should we enjoy the search knowing that it has no end?Website | https://pathfinderstl.orgOnline Giving | https://pathfinderstl.org/givePodcasts | https://pathfinderstl.org/podcastsFacebook | https://facebook.com/pathfinderstlInstagram |  https://instagram.com/pathfinderstlSt. John School | https://stjls.orgContact Us | churchinfo@pathfinderstl.org

This inspiring sermon starts us off on our Spiritual Emphasis Campaign. This season we focus on the Ten Commandments. Exodus 20:1–3 brings us back to the very foundation of our relationship with God: He alone deserves our worship. In a world filled with competing priorities, ambitions, and distractions, we can easily give our hearts to things that were never meant to take God's place. Yet God reminds His people that He rescued them and calls them to belong to Him alone. Worship God Only is a simple but powerful invitation to examine what truly has first place in our lives and to return our hearts, trust, and devotion to the One who alone is worthy.

Season 23: Angelology — Episode 13September 9, 2026 — The Angels Worship!NEW! Watch us ONLINE! Click here!Show Notes:In the book of Revelation, an angel shows John an amazing vision of the New Heaven, the New Earth, and the New Jerusalem.I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, BUT he said to me, "You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God."Revelation 22:8-9John was moved to worship. However, when angels appear, they do not want people to worship them. Their work is to deliver God's message or complete the work assigned to them. The angels' role is to point back to God, who is the One worthy of our worship. And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”Revelation 7:11-12 HEAD TO HEARTThe angels present a beautiful example for us to follow. The Lamb of God is worthy of our praise and worship. Let's set aside time each day to worship Him.Song – A Thousand Hallelujahs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR_sI9lkowA&list=RDvR_sI9lkowA&start_radio=1Season 23: Angelology – Words of Summary Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane - Matthew 26:53 – “Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?”Elisha – 2 Kings 6:17 - And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.Created Beings - Nehemiah 9:6 - The heavenly hosts were created: “You are the Lord, You alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you.”His mighty ones - Psalm 103:20 - Praise the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His bidding, who obey His word! In God's order and design, there are several distinct classifications of angels.· The Archangel named Michael – Jude 9· Chief Princes – Daniel 10:12-13· Ruling Angels – 1 Peter 1:12For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.Psalm 91:11

House of Praise, Life of Power September 6, 2026 Elwyn N. Johnston Psalm 100 Verse of the Week: “Magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.” Psalm 34:3 1. Worship God for His worth, not just His works “Know that the Lord Himself is God” Psalm 100:3 “For the Lord is good” Psalm 100:5 “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable.” Psalm 145:3 “I am the Lord, and there is no other; besides Me there is no God” Isaiah 45:5 “I am the Lord, and there is no other.” Isaiah 45:6 “I am the Lord, and there is none else.” Isaiah 45:18 “there is no other God besides Me” Isaiah 45:21 “magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.” Psalm 34:3 “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior” Luke 1:46 & 47 “those who know Your name put their trust in You” Psalm 9:10 “Trust in Him at all times…God is a refuge for us.” Psalm 62:8 “we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 2. Worship is a weapon “But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them; and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened.” Acts 16:25 & 26 “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me….I cry by day, but You do not answer” Psalm 22: 1 & 2 “enthroned on the praises of Israel.” Psalm 22:3 “Though He slay me, I will hope in Him.” Job 13:15 “I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last He will take His stand on the earth. Even after my [mortal] skin is destroyed [by death], yet from my [immortal] flesh I will see God” Job 19:25 & 26 “when the musician played, that the hand of the Lord came upon Elisha.” 2 Kings 3:15 “Make this valley full of ditches…You shall not see wind nor shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water” 2 Kings 3:16 & 17 “It happened in the morning about the time of offering the sacrifice, that behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.” 2 Kings 3:20

Season 23: Angelology — Episode 12September 2, 2026 — Worship God AloneNEW! Watch us ONLINE! Click here!Show Notes:We know that angels interpreted visions for Ezekiel, Daniel, Zechariah, and John. They stand ready as reapers and gatherers at the final judgment, surrounding Christ when He returns.Today, let's look at the angels' activity at all times, in every moment, and beyond: They worship! Not themselves — they refuse it every time it's offered to them. THEY WORSHIP GOD ALONE! In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!"Isaiah 6:1-3The seraphim call out “Holy, holy, holy” around God's throne. Scripture doesn't tell us how many seraphim Isaiah saw. The word "glory" is used of God in his relationship to his creatures – “the whole earth is full of His glory!” The essence of deity is inscrutable, but something of his glory can be seen if God is pleased to reveal it.HEAD TO HEART - Pause now and ask ourselves this question – Whose “glory” do I most desire? Do I share the Good News that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life?The Lord alone is worthy of our worship, and the angels offer us a beautiful example. Let's set aside time each day to worship Him.Song – Holy is the Lord - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcEcjm_JEcI&list=RDVcEcjm_JEcI&start_radio=1

What does the Bible actually say about what it really means to Worship God? and What is real Praise to God? Daniel Dydek will show us from God's Word what the true answers are to these questions.

Exodus 20:1-211 And God spoke all these words:2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.3 “You shall have no other gods before me.

Is Your Life's Focus on Jesus the Narrow Door and the Only Door to Your Eternal Life? MESSAGE SUMMARY: From the Gospel of Luke (12:49-56): “Jesus the Narrow Door” Introduction from “Jesus the Divider”:  While Jesus does bring us “Peace”, Jesus tells us that His ways are not always our ways; and Jesus does not always bring us “Peace”. In the world, we have tribulation; but Jesus has overcome the world. In Jesus, we do have “Peace”; but when we do stand with and for Jesus, “division” and conflict are created. In this passage from Luke 12, Jesus wants His followers to know that following Him will have a cost in terms of conflict and worldly tribulation. Many in and of the world will not tolerate our communication of the Gospel. Jesus is not saying that “division” is good. Rather, Jesus, in John 17:22-23, expresses His desire, to the Father, for His followers to all be at one with Him and the Father. However, Jesus is warning us that “division” is inevitable because we are human and sinners. Jesus ends His message to those assembled, in Luke 12:54-56, with: “He also said to the crowds, ‘When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, ‘A shower is coming.' And so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,' and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?'". In this passage, Jesus was pointing toward His purpose on earth and the cross; but no one understood His message at the time period of His teaching in Luke – they could not read God's signs. Do we see and follow God's signs, or do we miss them and become party to creating “divisions”? Today's Message -- Jesus the Narrow Door: In our Gospel focus from Luke 13:22-30, Jesus was pointing His earthly ministry toward Jerusalem, the Cross, Resurrection, and His Ascension. Jesus was asked, in Luke 13:23-25, a pivotal question; and He responded: “And someone said to him, ‘Lord, will those who are saved be few?' And he said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us,' then he will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.'”". It's not that Jesus doesn't want all to be saved, it's just that the “gate”, to our Salvation, is “narrow” and difficult to enter. As Paul tells us in 1 Timothy 2:3-4, that Jesus wants all people to be saved: “This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.". However, all people will not be saved because some will not come to Jesus – they don't want to be saved. In Luke 13:26-30, those rejected by the master of the house argue for admission: “” Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.' But he will say, ‘I tell you; I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!' In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves cast out. And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God. And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”". Jesus is the “narrow door” and the “gate” by which we enter the Kingdom of God and our Salvation. Jesus Himself tells us in John 10:9-10: “I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”. We have been given the job, by Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20, to help others find the “narrow door”. As believers in the Gospel and followers of Jesus, we are invited, in Revelation 19:9-10, to the “Marriage Super of the Lamb”: ““And the angel said to me, ‘Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.' And he said to me, ‘These are the true words of God.' Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, ‘You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.' For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”". Is your focus on Jesus, the ”Narrow Door”, that is the only way to the Kingdom of God and your Eternal Life?   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter.

TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM RIGHTEOUS IN GOD'S EYES.

Kingdom Worship | Kingdom Come vol 4 August 30, 2026 Message by RC Ford [Stewarts Creek Campus Pastor] Scripture References & Sermon Points 2 Samuel 6 • Worship God with Reverence • Worship God with Rejoicing • Worship God Regardless

The greatest evidence of spiritual strength is not simply finishing great assignments for God, but finishing our lives still devoted to God.

"Because God has shown us mercy, we are urged to worship God.” -Romans 12:1-8

Revelation 19:6–10The Marriage Supper of the Lamb[6] Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,“Hallelujah!For the Lord our Godthe Almighty reigns.[7] Let us rejoice and exultand give him the glory,for the marriage of the Lamb has come,and his Bride has made herself ready;[8] it was granted her to clothe herselfwith fine linen, bright and pure”—for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.[9] And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” [10] Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (ESV)

There are so many teachings in the Bible, and all of them given by God and therefore important. So how much does someone need to know before they are ready to be baptized? Let's see what God's Word tells us.

Matthew 22:34–39 | Worship God | Sam Holm | Preached on Aug 9, 2026 What does it really mean to love God with all that you are? In Matthew 22:34–39, Jesus was asked to name the greatest commandment. His answer brought everything back to the foundation: Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. In this message, Pastor Sam Holm begins our Discipleship Pathway series with Worship God, reminding us that the love Jesus describes is more than an emotion. It is wholehearted devotion expressed through action, obedience, and sacrifice. We love God because He first loved us, and when our love for Him comes first, it begins to shape every other part of our lives. Worship is more than singing on Sunday. We worship God personally through prayer, reading the Bible, and obedience, and we worship Him together as we gather, learn, pray, and sing. Wherever you are in your faith journey, there is a next step: Love God wholeheartedly, let that love shape the way you live, and share His love with the people around you.

Worship isn't a thing you squeeze in on Sundays. It's how you spend Monday through Saturday, too. See what changes when loving God and loving people become your whole life and not just an hour a week. The post Worship God Fully appeared first on Wooddale Church.

“Are angels real?” This question opens a discussion about their nature and purpose, addressing whether they are merely symbolic representations of God’s presence. The conversation also touches on the relevance of angels in our lives today and explores the distinction between angels and humans, including the popular belief that deceased loved ones become angels. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:35 – Let’s start at the bottom of the ladder. Are angels real, or are they symbolic ways of talking about God’s presence? 06:10 – So okay — if angels are real, can we just ignore them and get on with our lives? If they don’t do much nowadays, why should I care? 11:35 – Let’s define our terms cleanly. What exactly is an angel — and how much of what we believe comes from Scripture, versus theological speculation? 14:55 – Here’s one everyone has heard at a funeral: that grandma is an angel now, watching over us — that we get our wings when we die. Do human beings become angels when they die? 19:00 – Have angels always existed alongside God, or were they created like everything else? 23:00 – If angels are bodiless spirits, then how do we get all these accounts of angels appearing, speaking, even sharing a meal? How does a spirit with no body show up and get 29:25 – Roughly how many angels are there? Are we talking about a handful of major players, or something vaster — are there more angels or more humans? 34:45 – Most people have heard there are nine choirs of angels — seraphim, cherubim, archangels, and so on. Where does that come from, and what are these nine choirs of angels? 49:20 – We’ve talked a lot about praying to saints on this show — but why should we specifically pray to angels? Isn’t that more dangerous? Let’s steelman it. Twice in Revelation, John falls down to worship an angel, and both times the angel stops him cold and says, ‘Worship God.’ Paul warns the Colossians against the worship of angels. In light of all that, why would we ever pray to an angel? 53:10 – How do we even know angels can hear us?
