In a world that suffers from a crisis of conscience, authentic worship creates space for God’s holiness to confront us. When we are faced with a vision of God, we cannot help but see our own deep brokenness and our own glorious potential to be holy.

Worship is the hour that changes everything – our worldview comes into alignment with Jesus’ worldview as we become the kind of person who loves rightly – who loves God and neighbor and is oriented to the world by the primacy of that love.

When we accept the invitation to worship authentically we listen attentively to God’s story, we accept the vulnerability that comes with sharing our own stories, and we commit to learning and rehearsing and growing deeper in our understanding of and relationship with God and each other.

James joins his voice with other biblical writers imploring believers to stay connected in our relationship with God, stay focused on living as a child of God, and stay vigilant in weighing the Word of God against the words of the world.

As Christians, we are united in common cause to ensure our congregation nurtures an environment filled with spiritual vitality, reaches out to those who do not know Jesus as the Messiah, and devotes ourselves to meeting others in their places and times of brokenness and offering healing in the name of the Savior Jesus Christ.
