JOHN SHIRK -Today’s Q and A Segment explores the question, “What does it mean to worship God in spirit and in truth?”
Jesus was engaged in a conversation with a woman at the well. They were talking about worship. She was a Samaritan, and as she learned more about Jesus, she said to Him, “I can see that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”
Jesus downplayed the significance of tying meaningful worship with a specific location. Instead, He focused on the matters of the heart. He said in John 4:23, “A time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
Worship that pleases God is not about the outward expressions of a ceremony or being in a certain territory. Worship is about expressing love for God with sincerity, and acknowledging Him for who He really is. So, as we grow in the grace and knowledge of God, our worship will thrive for the glory of God in the Year of Exploration.

Halloween is on Monday and we’re losing more and more daylight every day…I thought it was the perfect time to focus on Shining our Light! See my themed playlist, and links to helpful blogs below.

Hi!
It’s back to school time, and I have a great theme in store for you that fits this season: Adjectives! It’s perfect for the Praise & Worship Show because the songs are super descriptive in relation to who God is, what He’s done and how much we need Him. Be sure to sing along (loudly, exuberantly, and whole-heartedly).

Today I’m twin-spinning the Praise & Worship Show playlist. The 8:00 hour is be extra special with an acoustic/unplugged song in each pair. It kinda feels like the worship leaders are sitting in your living room, playing the songs just for you and Jesus. See if the live, simplified versions makes those songs come alive a little more for you like it does for me! I particularly am loving the recording of Ginny Owens singing “I Will Praise You” when she played Live at The Junction Center.
