Pastor Tim Carpenter opens the Worship series by asking what worship really is and who we're actually offering it to. Walking through Matthew 15, John 4, and Hebrews 13, he shows why God wants worship that is truthful, informed, and lived out in our words and deeds, not just sung on Sunday morning. If you've ever wondered what to do in those quiet moments between songs, or whether worship is only about music, this message is for you.
Why am I here? Pastor Tim Carpenter explores what purpose is, why it drives how we live, and how culture's answers (pleasure, wealth, even good things like kids) fall short. Then he turns to Romans 8:28, Genesis 1, and Matthew 22 to show that God gives us our purpose: loving God, loving others, and making disciples. Part of the Worldview series, with a practical challenge for ordinary days at work and home.
In the final message of the Worldview series, Pastor Tim asks the big question behind eternity: what happens when I die? He weighs the 'nothing happens' view of Hawking, Sagan and Brian Cox against the human longing for something lasting, then walks through 1 Peter 1:3-13 to show how a living hope and an imperishable inheritance reshape the way we handle suffering and live today. If you've ever wondered whether this life is all there is, this message offers a hopeful, grounded answer.
