What is Worship?
We were created to glorify God eternally, welcomed into His presence with gratitude. He is our supreme King, and Jesus is our Good Shepherd. Worship involves both silence and joyful praise, reflecting our response to God in all we do and feel. Avoid hardening your heart, as the Israelites did in the wilderness, and remain mindful of your heart's condition. Worship Jesus in spirit and truth.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4gMN5gv
