Relationship with God - Worship | Carla Payne | 31st May 2026

It is time to draw near to him as he promises to draw near to us. Worship is not just our song but our everyday lives, even the mundane parts. Sometimes we are faced with very difficult challenges that can cause us to fear. Go anyway. This is our worship. He promises that he is with us and he will go before us. On discovering Jesus had been resurrected, the two Marys fell down in worship. Soon after, discovering he is alive, some of the eleven disciples also worshiped. But some doubted. Today you may be facing a situation that is causing you to question whether God is really going to come through on his promises. He will - in his timing. And while we wait, we have a choice; we can choose to grumble and doubt, or we can take ourselves and all of our emotions and bring them to God in worship.Our special return visit from Senior Pastor Carla - the co-church planter of FC Southsea - came with an invitation to worship despite what we may be feeling or going through. This completes our latest values series on having a Relationship with God, whether through the Word of God, prayer or worship.
