This message explores Jesus’ call to worship in spirit and in truth, using His encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. It reminds us that every human being is made for worship, and that our hearts naturally drift toward false gods - identity, success, beauty, power - unless we return to the One we were created for. True worship requires both truth - knowing who God really is, and Spirit - a heart awakened by the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, we are invited back to the cross, where Jesus transforms rebels into worshipers and restores us to our deepest purpose: to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

In this sermon, George Benson unpacks Psalm 131 and teaches us that true peace comes from humility and trust in God, not control or self-reliance. Pride and striving lead to anxiety, but like a child resting in its mother’s arms, we can find calm by depending on God. George shows us how Jesus perfectly modelled this humility at the cross, making peace possible for us. Therefore our role is to trust in Him, surrender pride, and rest in His care.
