Worship

Pastor Hunter Jones · Aug 4, 2026

Kicking off the Essentials series, Pastor Hunter Jones preaches from Exodus 34, where God reveals His own name and character to Moses after Israel had distorted Him into a golden calf. The sermon argues that the smallest distortion in our view of God leads to major distortions in how we live, so we must let God define Himself rather than shaping Him into a comfortable idol. God reveals Himself as the self-existent "I Am," triune, overflowing in chesed (loyal, covenant) love, and perfectly just. Rightly seeing God produces the same response Moses had: falling down in humble, overwhelmed worship.

Every human being is hard-wired to worship — to love something so much that we sacrifice for it and surrender to it. The question is never whether we worship, but what or who receives that worship. Pastor Hunter Jones uses the Transfiguration and the Triumphal Entry in Luke to show that Jesus has fully revealed Himself as the God of creation, the One who holds all things together. When we misplace our worship in career, status, pleasure, or relationships, life unravels. But when we surrender our worship to Jesus — starting in gathered, sung praise and extending into every area of daily life — He alone is able to hold us together.
