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, based on Psalm 130, Matt Simmonds explains that sin is more than a few mistakes - it’s a powerful force that leads to brokenness, guilt, and helplessness, with both temporary and eternal consequences. Yet in the depths of our failure, God offers steadfast love and plentiful redemption through Jesus’ sacrifice, wiping away all sin and granting true freedom. Our awareness of sin is evidence of His grace at work, calling us to repentance and hope in His unending forgiveness.
