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 preach, Glen Scrivener uses Psalm 24 to help us reframe our understanding of prayer. He does this by challenging the view that the world is a mechanical factory and we are merely workers, reminding us instead that we are priests in a temple where all creation is sacred and infused with God's presence. He emphasises that Jesus, our great High Priest, has ascended into heaven carrying us on His heart, giving us access to the Father and making prayer a deeply relational act rooted in our union with Christ.
