“There’s no such thing as not worshipping,” writes secular novelist and essayist, the late David Foster Wallace. The problem is what we worship. Because, what we worship makes the kind of person we are. When Israel made a golden calf in Exodus 32, they didn’t think they were being unfaithful to Yahweh God. Their theology was intact. But, their hearts were still stuck back in Egypt (see Acts 7:39.) We were made to worship, and our worship makes us.
2023 at CLPC is the Year of Worship. All year we’re intentionally focusing on what and how we worship. Much of our focus for this year comes from the book You Are What You Love, by James K.A. Smith. Perhaps you’ll want to read this book along with the session, pastors and staff this year. Also, why not make Sunday worship at top priority for your weekly rhythm in 2023. Commit to joining God’s people for worship each and every week this year? If not in person, then join the livestream or engage with the YouTube service recording.
If you missed yesterday's
message, you can listen to the sermon here or watch the entire service on our YouTube channel.
For Christ,
Pastor Steve
