Passionate Worship

The sermon explores the value of passionate worship using the story of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4. Pastor Adam emphasizes that worship requires both substance and spirit, going beyond mere actions to involve a genuine, heartfelt connection with God. True worship also includes repentance—turning from sin and towards God—and putting sin to death, understanding its power to harden hearts and destroy life. Vertical and horizontal relationships are interconnected in worship, so issues with others affect our relationship with God and vice versa. Pastor Adam calls for worship that unites rather than divides and stresses that passion for Jesus should permeate every aspect of life. The sermon concludes with a call to respond to God’s message actively and personally.
