     | 3,536 views

    Worship is a big deal: Cain killed his brother, Abel. Moses asked Pharaoh for some time to away in the wilderness to worship. Ancient Jewish families would bring animals to Jerusalem for the purpose of worship. And Jesus turned over the tables in the Temple because they were ruining worship.

    Have You Ever Been Fired? Don’t raise your hand, but have you ever been fired from a job? Did you know it was coming, that feeling in your stomach?
