What makes worship real? In this fourth message of his series on worship, Pastor Adam Biro turns to the New Testament and to the words of Jesus himself at the well in Samaria. True worshipers, Jesus said, worship the Father in spirit and in truth. Pastor Adam unpacks both halves of that phrase. Worship needs a genuine connection in the spirit, or even our most exuberant expressions can be as empty as going through the motions. And yet, he is honest that sometimes we have to start with the physical act, showing up, lifting our hands, getting in the room, and trust that the Spirit will meet us there. He explores the place of praying and singing in the Spirit from 1 Corinthians 14, and then opens up one of the most exciting dimensions of worship: worship as warfare. From the walls of Jericho falling at a shout, to Jehoshaphat sending the singers out ahead of the army, to Paul and Silas praising God in a midnight prison until the earth shook, he reminds us that the same God still topples strongholds today. Come and go deeper with us.

What does worship actually look like when we let the Bible define it? In this third message of his series on worship, Pastor Adam Biro reminds us that worship is far more than the singing part of a Sunday service. It is everything we do in reverent awe to honor and love God, from serving and giving to raising our children in His ways. He begins with an important truth: there is a preparation to our praise. Looking at Psalm 15 and Ecclesiastes 5, he shows how we come to a holy God with clean hands and a pure heart, while never losing sight of the grace that makes us welcome in the first place. Then he walks through the many biblical expressions of worship, singing, shouting, dancing like David with all his might, lifting our hands, bowing low, and playing instruments of every kind. His challenge is both freeing and stretching: our worship should be shaped by the Word of God rather than by our personality or culture, which means there is always a new way to step beyond ourselves and encounter God. Come and worship with us.

Get ready to have your faith stretched. In this special missionary Sunday message, our friend and missionary Steven Stoffelsen, who together with his wife Carla leads City of Refuge in Guatemala, brings a word about believing God for the impossible. The morning begins with Carla sharing the remarkable testimony of their second miracle baby, baby Elijah, a reminder that with God nothing is impossible and that He is often working a miracle inside us before we ever see it. Steven then shares story after story of lives transformed through City of Refuge, from an alcoholic healed of cirrhosis to a baby once given no hope of surviving who just celebrated his sixteenth birthday. From there he opens up Matthew 13 and John 14 to show us that the kingdom of God is meant to be our central focus, and that Jesus has essentially handed us a blank check, promising that whatever we ask in His name, He will do. This is a joyful, faith-building call to stop asking small and start cashing in. Come and believe with us.
