The three teaching blocks have been combined into one continuous audio file, with a few seconds break in between them.

In this final session, we look at the Biblical practice of shouting, and physical engagement in worship. When we sing together and remind each other of the message of Christ, the Holy Spirit can fill our hearts with joy; and the Bible gives us plenty of encouragement, commands, and examples of how to express this joy.These sessions were recorded during our January Equip tracks at church.

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the sun. A time to mourn, and a time to dance...In the last two sessions we are talking about two very different emotions and season - pain, and joy. When we suffer as Christians, what is the Biblical response? As we look into Lamentations and the Psalms, we see that God's word gives incredible dignity for those who are suffering, never trying to cover up their complaints but allowing and encouraging us to wrestle with God. And when we do that, we meet a Jesus who chooses to meet with us in our suffering, and chooses to weep alongside us.These sessions were recorded during our January Equip tracks at church.

In this session, we look at disagreements over styles of worship, and examine what Jesus tells us about being true worshippers. Don't idolise the tools of worship, but worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth.The Samaritan woman wants to know if they should worship in Jerusalem or on the mountain - Jesus says neither. But true worshippers will worship in the Spirit, and in truth.The Holy Spirit opens our eyes to receive the truth of God's word, and this truth should cause us to praise God with our whole heart, soul and mind.These sessions were recorded during our January Equip tracks at church.

In this session we join Isaiah in the throne room of heaven. Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are saved not just to go through life aimlessly, but to fulfil a higher calling. God Almighty has prepared good works for us to step into - and He calls us to live life to the full by following where He leads.Isaiah is granted a vision into the throne room of heaven to see the Holy LORD God Almighty - and when confronted with holiness, he realises his own sin and panics. We discuss what happens next - and the implication for our lives as we seek to live a life laid down in worship of God.These sessions were recorded during our January Equip tracks at church.

During this session, we explore Colossians 3:16. When we sing together, Christ's message dwells in us richly to remind us of the gospel truth we need in order to stand firm. We looked deeper into what exactly Psalms, hymns and songs from the Spirit are, and God's plan for us to be edified as a church when we sing together.These sessions were recorded during our January Equip tracks at church.

Worship is what we gather to do together every week. At its heart, it's an expression of adoration to the Lord. Through these six weeks, we'll be looking at six core scriptures on worship. We'll learn what God's word defines as true worship, and how the gift of communal singing has been given to us to deepen our faith in seasons of joy and pain.This week, we're looking at Romans 12:1. We see how Paul defines true worship - and we answer the question; "How can unholy people come to worship a holy God?"These sessions were recorded during our January Equip tracks at church.
