December 1 Worship

In this exploration of joy, we're invited to reconsider our relationship with God's house. The message draws from the Psalms and Jesus' parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and prodigal son to illustrate that God's house isn't just a physical building, but anywhere God's people gather. We're challenged to find deep joy in our faith, not just obligation or responsibility. The story of the two flour-milling brothers beautifully illustrates how selfless love and generosity can transform ordinary places into sacred spaces where God dwells. As we reflect on our own faith journey, we're encouraged to ask: Do we experience genuine gladness when entering God's presence? Are we fully embracing the joy that comes from being found by a loving God who eagerly awaits our return?
