Because You Are Forgiven: Worship

August 27, 2023 • Tyler Crosson • Luke 7:36–48, 1 Corinthians 14:24–26, 1 Chronicles 29:11, Hebrews 13:15, Psalm 95:1–3

In the final message of our "Worship" series, Tyler explores the impactful story of a sinful woman finding freedom through worshipping Jesus. Through tears of gratitude, she washes his feet - an act that has echoed through the ages. Tyler draws powerful parallels for our lives today. What might it look like for each of us to authentically bring our brokenness before God? Through compelling illustrations from Scripture, we see how worship strengthens our faith and draws seekers to the Savior. Whether singing praise or simply kneeling in His presence, true worship requires understanding the depth of God's forgiveness and grace. Tyler encourages the congregation to actively build one another up through shared celebration. Questions for Reflection: • Have you made expressing your love for God a priority in your life? • Can you name an instance where someone else's worship (songs, message, or action) had an impact on you?

From Fear to Faith: The Transformative Power of Worship

August 20, 2023 • Tyler Crosson • Ephesians 6:10–12, 2 Chronicles 20:1–23

Our hearts are constantly misshaped outside of God. But worship reforms our hearts by recentering them on Him. This message explores worship as the antidote to anxiety, as we prioritize the spiritual and surrender control to God. Discover the power of transforming worship that honors God and reforms your heart toward His purposes. Questions for Reflection: • What worries or struggles are you holding onto that God is asking you to surrender to Him through worship? • Who can you invite to walk alongside you as you learn to trust God more through transformational worship?

Don't Worship Idols

August 13, 2023 • Tyler Crosson • Ezekiel 14:1–5, 1 John 5:13, 1 John 5:20–21

In this message, Tyler builds on the worship series by emphasizing that worship is ingrained in us because we are made in God's image. But the deceiver tries to twist our worship instinct and cause us to prioritize other people, places, ideas or things over God. Tyler warns that it's easy to slip into worshiping idols instead of God without even realizing it. We were designed to find satisfaction in God alone, but false idols always leave us empty. This message is a reminder to carefully examine where we misplace worship and to realign our hearts to worship God ultimately. Questions for Reflection: • What are the things in your life that can often take the priority place in your heart? • What do you need to do to tear down or remove those things from God's place?

When We Worship

August 6, 2023 • Tyler Crosson • Romans 12:1–2, Psalm 19:1, Psalm 96:12, Psalm 98:8, Matthew 15:7–8

Sometimes we really box in our understanding of worship. In today's message Tyler reminds us that actually, everything is worship! All of creation worships, but mankind is the only one that can choose to not worship God. So do you worship? Because Tyler also leaves us with a caution: everything can be worship, but so can nothing if your hearts are far from Him. How well are you doing giving your life back to God as your worship of Him? Questions for Reflection: • How does the idea that everything can be worship change your perspective on worship? • Is there any part of your life that you've been keeping from God? Is it time to surrender it in worship?
