Holiness Through Worship (Part 4)| Eric Upton | Year of Holiness

Kingdom Culture Phoenix exists to disciple people to know and follow Jesus through Word and Spirit.This week we continue with Part 4 of our Year of Holiness (Holiness Through Worship) where Pastor Eric explains how Worship is the ultimate purpose of our souls meant to be vertical, fully directed to God, and not to entertain or please people. In Exodus 15, Miriam leads bold, communal worship that celebrates God’s victory, reminding us that true worship humbles us, connects us to His presence, and anchors us in His strength through every trial.🔑 Key Takeaways✅Worship is Your Life’s PurposeYou were created to worship God and enjoy His presence forever.Worship connects your soul to God and gives a taste of eternal fulfillment now.✅ Vertical Worship Focuses on God, Not PeopleWorship designed to entertain people becomes idolatry.True worship exalts God’s glory over our personal preferences or emotions.✅ Repetition in Worship is Powerful and IntentionalGod delights in repetition—it forms our hearts, just like a loving Father repeating truth to His children.Scripture models repetition to shape belief (e.g., “Holy, Holy, Holy,” “His love endures forever”).✅ Worship is a Weapon in the Face of PursuitExpect opposition when you begin following Jesus, especially from the flesh, culture, and spiritual attack.Worship helps you stand firm on God’s solid ground even in the midst of struggle.✅ God Makes a Way Through, Not Around, the SeaBelievers still face difficulty, but God gives them dry ground to walk on—stability in chaos.The key difference is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of God’s support.✅ Miriam Models Bold, Prophetic WorshipShe worships with her whole body, uses music, and invites others into the experience.She leads prophetically, declaring who God is and what He has done.✅ Vertical Worship Changes the AtmosphereIt invites God’s presence, tunes our hearts to the Spirit, and aligns us with His will.It shifts the spiritual environment of a room and unites people in purpose.Takeaway:Worship is our soul’s true purpose which is meant to glorify God, not ourselves. It connects us to His presence, grounding us in His strength, and transforming everything when directing everything fully to him.📲 Want to grow deeper?• KC Connect – Discover how to hear from God + live your calling.Text KCCONNECT to 94000 or  CLICK HERE.• Sermon Notes – Dive deeper into Scripture + takeaways.
