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: John 4:19-24, Ecclesiastes 3:11, Hebrews 12:28, Isaiah 29:13
Everyone in the world worships something. You can call yourself “secular”. You can call yourself “anti-religious”, but everyone in this world values something, so highly, that they build their entire lives around it. Many times in the church we get caught up in the style or place of worship. Dr. Merritt's message teaches that God is not concerned with where, when or even the way you worship. What concerns God is the substance of your worship.
"Real worship is not a matter of style. It is a matter of substance. What matters in worship most to God is not what it looks like or sounds like on the outside as much as what is taking place on the inside of the heart." --Dr. Merritt
