WCC | Draw Near: Living Sacrifices, Apr. 12th 2026

In this opening message of the Draw Near series, we tackle a foundational question: What is worship, really? Is it just singing songs on Sunday, or is there something deeper going on?Walking through Romans 12:1–2, this sermon explores how worship is rooted in our response to God’s mercy—especially what we see through Jesus’ death and resurrection. Rather than reducing worship to music or emotion, we’re invited to see it as something far more comprehensive: offering our entire lives to God as “living sacrifices.”Along the way, we unpack how worship involves both the mind and the heart, and how our understanding of who God is directly shapes how we respond to Him. Using relatable illustrations—from tuning instruments to everyday life—we’re challenged to align our lives with the truth of God’s character.The result is a clear, guiding definition for the series: Worship is responding to God for who He is, with everything we are.This message also includes a practical challenge to slow down, reflect on God’s attributes, and allow deeper understanding to lead to more genuine, everyday worship.
