In today’s climate of turmoil and uncertainty, threatening and incapacitating feelings run rampant. Yet the God who created your emotions has also given you everything you need to navigate them. The Bible paints relatable and resonant portraits of women and men struggling with grief, anger, guilt, and despair—and provides divine wisdom for transforming your emotional trials into spiritual triumphs.
Scriptures: Romans 12:1, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
The word "worship" usually brings to mind church, sermons, stained glass and hymns. How about these words: eyes, ears, mouth, hands, legs and feet? Do you ever associated them with worship? Worship is not just spiritual. It's physical. It involves your whole body. The Bible tells us that our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. That means God lives in us. Therefore, our bodies are to be wired for worship in everything we do. In this message, Dr. Merritt explains how to worship God individually as we steward our own bodies for Him.
"If you go back to the Old Testament you will find the temple served only one purpose--worship. In the Old Testament, God had a temple for His people, but in the New Testament, God has a people for His temple." --Dr. Merritt
