As we continue our summer corporate gatherings, Michael reminds us that God’s desire has always been the same: a people who belong fully to Him. Throughout Scripture, God calls His people a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a people set apart for His purposes. Worship is one of the primary ways we respond to that calling.

This message challenges us to see worship as more than singing songs or participating in a gathering. Worship is the exaltation of Jesus in the place of our affection, loyalty, attention, and desire. Every person is a worshiper. The question is not whether we worship, but what or who has captured the highest place in our hearts.

This message calls us to examine what has been competing for our devotion and to lift Jesus back to the highest place. When Christ is exalted, everything else finds its proper place. This is an invitation to become a truly priestly people whose lives declare the greatness of God both inside and outside the gathering.
