This week’s session focuses on AUTHENTIC WORSHIP: Authentic worship is a genuine, wholehearted response to God, grounded in spiritual truth and devotion. A positive attitude fosters gratitude and hope, removing distractions and self-focus. This receptive heart enables deep communion, guided by reverence and trust. By maintaining hope, believers transcend challenges, stay anchored in God’s goodness, and enter truly transformative, God-centered worship.

Introduction:Today’s point is that we are to come to God with a heart fully focused on Him alone, because our attitude determines whether we experience authentic worship or simply go through the motions. When we approach God with gratitude and reverence, we open ourselves to a deeper, transformative encounter with His presence.

I have 3 points to make this session:

1. Rejoice in What God Has Done (Psalm 40:1-5): Pause to remember God’s mercy and deliverance, offering joyful praise for His faithfulness.
2. Be Regimented to Do God’s Will (Psalm 40:6-8): Align your daily actions with His Word, choosing obedience as an act of worship.
3. Be Ready to Declare God’s Praise (Psalm 40:9-11): Boldly share God’s works with others, testifying to His goodness and grace.

While I unpack today’s scripture I ask that you consider this question: How can I cultivate authentic worship?

This week’s session focuses on BEING GRATEFUL. Gratitude is the sincere acknowledgment of kindness or blessings received. Human gratitude often depends on specific actions and is expressed conditionally, while God’s way calls for continual thanks, rooted in faith and trust, regardless of circumstances, as an act of worship and acknowledgment of His sovereignty.

Introduction: Today’s point is: God’s goodness and love lead us to grateful worship. Through Psalm 25, we will see how God’s character inspires our trust and heartfelt worship in response to His compassion, care, and faithfulness.

I have 3 points to make this morning:

1. God Is Full of Compassion // Psalm 25:4-7 God’s mercy and love lead Him to guide, teach, and forgive us, calling us to worship Him with gratitude.
2. God Has Overflowing Care // Psalm 25:8-11 God lovingly instructs and leads those who humbly seek Him, inspiring grateful worship for His unfailing guidance.
3. God Faithfully Keeps His Covenant // Psalm 25:12-15 God honors His promises, blessing and protecting those who fear Him, leading us to worship Him in trust and thankfulness.

While I unpack today’s scripture I ask that you consider this question: HOW DOES GOD INSPIRE ME TO GRATEFULLY WORSHIP HIM?

This week’s session focuses on LIVING OUT your purpose by RESTORING OTHERS. HOW DO WE EXPRESS OUR PURPOSE IN CHRIST BY SERVING OTHERS? We live in a society that is all about “Me, Me, Me. I’m gone get mine. I don’t have to do it if I don’t want to. I got mine, so you get yours. We don’t put family first - only 30% of young adults want children, We don’t care about our neighbors, community service is down to 27%. That’s their busy. I got problems of my own. I, I, I. Does any of this sound familiar to you?

The point of today’s lesson is: WE FULFILL OUR PURPOSE AS WE SERVE OTHERS IN LOVE.

I have 3 points to make this morning: Be aware of Warring Purposes Inside // Galatians 5:16-18

1. Our purpose leads us to share the Load
2. When we love, we sow the spirit
3. It won’t be easy so stay the course.
