Worship

There are times in our relationship with the Lord that we can go through the motions. When we know the right things to do, but our heart is far from God. We can put on a good façade on the outside but our inward love for God is cold. We can turn a vibrant relationship with the Lord into a check-list Christianity. This happened throughout the Bible to the people of God. The Lord directly addresses this in the book of Malachi. God’s people were making sacrifices and “doing their duty” but they had no love or devotion to the Lord. When we lose the heart of worship, we are in danger. This morning, we are going to look at coming back to the heart of worship, where it is all about the Lord.

The Heart of Worship - August 9, 2026 - Pastor Mark Pospisil

We are starting a new short series for the month of August on Worship. What is worship? That is a really important question to know. There seems to be a lot of confusion on what it actually is. Sometimes we think worship is just signing. People make statements like these, “worship was great today because they played my favorite songs,” or “I did not connect with worship because people’s hands were not raised.” Signing is indeed an expression of worship but it is way deeper than that. Jesus tells us in John 4 that, “true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.” It is vital for us to understand that worship is not just a part of our lives, but it is what we do with our lives. All of life is worship. It is not something that is just done on a certain day or location. We worship God by how and why we live. This morning, we are going to look at what worship is and how to worship God in spirit and truth.
