Worshipping God the Way You Are Wired Scripture Focus: 1 Chronicles 16:4–7, Psalm 73 Introducing Asaph We often think worship only happens when we sing on Sunday mornings. But true worship is much larger than a musical style or a church service. It is a lifestyle of honoring God using exactly how He built you. In the Old Testament, King David established a massive worship operation for the Ark of the Covenant. He did not just hire random volunteers. He appointed a man named Asaph as the chief worship leader. Asaph was not just a singer; he was a leader, a writer, and a visionary. Like...

The phrase “God won’t put more on you than you can handle” is not Scripture. It’s a comforting cliché, but it’s not a biblical promise. The Bible teaches something far more honest and far more hopeful: God meets you in the moments that exceed your strength. Most people are misquoting - 1 Corinthians 10:13 — but that verse is about temptation, not suffering. God provides a way of escape when you’re tempted.

A message about gratitude, witness, and the courage to live your faith in the open. “Gratitude Has a Rhythm” Some people thank God like it’s a reaction. Some thank Him like it’s a routine. But the believer is called to thank Him like it’s a lifestyle. Thanksgiving is not what you do after God blesses you — it’s how you live because He already has.

The power of Psalm 23:4 is not in the valley, not in the shadow, not in the fear — it is in the through. You are not stuck. You are not abandoned. You are not finished. You are walking through with a God who refuses to leave your side.

Psalm 71:9 — “Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.” "There is a loneliness that doesn't come because you've done anything wrong. It comes because you've lived long enough. The children have grown. Friends have moved away—or passed away. Retirement has changed your routine. The house is quieter. The phone rings less often. And somewhere along the way, a man who spent decades taking care of everyone else discovers that he is sitting alone with his thoughts. The hardest part is that good men rarely talk about it. They keep mowing the lawn....

David's family reminds us that even godly people have troubled homes. Our hope is not found in having a perfect family, but in serving a perfect Savior who brings grace, healing, and redemption into broken homes. That truth is perhaps the greatest lesson from David's house: God's covenant faithfulness outlasted David's family failures. It gives hope to every parent, every spouse, every child, and every believer who has ever wondered whether God can still work through a messy family.

info_outlineLove versus everything else
- The Bible teaches us that God is love. Am I right? 1 John 4:16 says:
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.”
However, the adversary of God knows this too. So he does the opposite. The Bible says he comes to kill steal and destroy.
- The devil uses the same 3 tricks most of the time and we miss it. We don’t see it.
- We don’t recognize when we are being used by him to do his work. It’s either Love or it’s everything else.
We don’t know that “friendship with the world is an enmity with God - James 4:4
You can’t be worldly and be Godly. You can’t be left and be right. You are either hot or cold. Lukewarm coffee is nasty. So is a lukewarm spirit.
God is love. We like love. I like love. Growing up I couldn’t wait till I got a girlfriend to love. I used to dream about it all the time. Were you like that? I was romantic too. Couldn’t get a girlfriend to save my life. I was awkward. I didn’t have any game. I used to go to skating rink with my friend Chuckie. Chucky was smooth. Chuckie could skate like he was flying. All I wanted back then was to be on the skating rink floor when they had the couples skating. That was going to be fire for me. Me and her, skating through life together.
That was the extent of my love knowledge back then. That wasn’t God. It’s like how we think church is supposed to be but don’t have Gods love in it.
