    What is my motivation for worshiping God in a way that is pleasing to Him and satisfying to my soul. The key is to focus on God!

    TEXT: Psalm 96:1-13 Intro: Worship, by definition, is 'the reverent love shown to God.' It is homage. In Matthew 15:8-9, Jesus exposed the vain worship of the Pharisees; their worship sounded good, but it was worthless because their heart was not where it should have been. They followed man's ...read more

    This is a homily shared at The Feast, an inner-city gathering with the Yonge Street Mission that invites everyone from the community in to Feast on good food, the Word of God and fellowship. God is not the same as us. He thinks very differently. Nowhere is this more obvious than in almost all of ...read more
