WCC | Draw Near: The Image in the Assembly, Apr. 26th 2026

In this message, we explore the deeper purpose behind gathering together as the church. Moving beyond the common idea that corporate worship is simply beneficial for us, this sermon challenges us to re-center worship on its true focus: God Himself.Through engaging illustrations—from a single voice reading Scripture to the fullness of a choir—we see how something powerful happens when believers worship together. Corporate worship doesn’t replace personal devotion, but it reveals something greater: a fuller expression of God’s image through His people.Rooted in passages like Psalm 34:3 and Hebrews 10:25, this sermon unpacks how God has always desired not just individuals, but a people who reflect His relational nature. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture shows that we were created to glorify Him together.Ultimately, corporate worship is not about what we get out of it—it’s about offering God a unified, wholehearted response that delights Him. When we gather, we don’t just worship—we display the beauty of who God is through a community formed in His image.
