1. The Path Of Worship (1)
Contributed on Jul 16, 2026
The sanctuary reveals worship as a journey through Christ—from invitation and sacrifice to cleansing, daily communion, and ultimately the eternal presence of God.

Contributed on Jul 16, 2026
The courtyard reveals salvation's beginning through Christ alone, where grace forgives, cleansing transforms, and every believer begins the journey into God's presence.
Last time we began our journey through the sanctuary by asking a simple question: What is worship? We discovered that worship is far more than music or a church service. Worship is God's invitation to enter His presence. The sanctuary is not merely an ancient building—it is God's picture ...read more
