Pastor Dale discussed that just as animals have an instinct to flee in a predictable direction or to escape a tsunami hours before it occurs, so we as humans are wired to worship. It is not a question of “Do we worship?” but rather “Who (or what) do we worship?” He showed a video of a huge music concert, with people raising their hands and jumping up and down, and noted that we as Christians tend to subdue ourselves in church when we worship--instead, we need to be our natural selves before God in worship.
How to Worship

Making the Most of Worship
August 21, 2016 • Dale Oquist, Lead Pastor
Today Pastor Dale talked about the story from John 9:1-34 about the man born blind. After the blind man was healed, the religious leaders criticized Jesus for healing him on the Sabbath. They were too wrapped up in their own legality and missed their opportunity to worship God.

Building a Case
June 19, 2016 • Dale Oquist
In his message, Dale described 3 different lives of worship:
1) a Life of No Worship of God – is the mirror of your life pointed at you or at God?
2) a Life of Erroneous Worship – since sin entered the world, we have worshipped things and people that were never meant to be
worshipped
3) a Life of True Worship – it’s about the attitude of my heart
