Subject: True Guide, True Worship (06/06/'24) -Message

True Guide, True Worship I don't believe in worship of those skilled at preaching, for faith is not a performance, nor mere words beseeching. "If I do not perform the works of my Father, don't believe me," said Jesus, our Shepherd, with truth to set us free. His nourishment was the will of Him who sent His Son, to finish the divine work, till all was fully done. "I do nothing by myself," the Savior humbly said, for glory belongs to God, in every step He led. The gathering's growing fame is an idol's fleeting claim, for worship of popularity is idolatry in name. Jesus Christ, the Iconoclast, broke the earthly mold, revealing the Kingdom's truth, more precious than finest gold. In parables, He spoke of virgins and their lamps, of talents wisely used, and the righteous' humble camps. He called us to a life of service, love, and grace, to see Him in the least, in every human face. So let us turn from idols and worship Him alone, for Christ is our true guide, the Cornerstone, the Throne. In Christ, Pastor Steven G. Lee (June 6, 2024)
