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.

Summer in the Psalms // Psalm 119:1-8 - Matt Carvel
In this sermon, Matt explores Psalm 119, focusing on its call to love, obey, and delight in God's Word. He explains that while the psalm emphasises obedience, its true aim is deep relationship with God. Drawing from the life of Jesus - who perfectly fulfilled God's law - Matt highlights that we are invited to walk in that same way, not by our own strength, but through the divine power given by the Spirit. Obedience isn't just about moral behaviour, but about entering into God's very nature, experiencing His love, blessing, and power. Matt finishes with a call to repentance and wholehearted devotion, urging us to embrace the life-giving way of Christ.
