When worship downplays sin, avoids confession, and chases a feel-good "experience," God calls it noise—not worship. In this message, Dave Jenkins shows from Scripture why biblical worship requires repentance, truth, and formation—and why counterfeit positivity and false unity deform souls and distort the gospel. Key Texts: Isaiah 1:11–17; Amos 5:21–24; Leviticus 10; Jeremiah 6:14; Revelation 3:17; John 4:23–24; Colossians 3:16; Hebrews 12:28–29; Psalm 51:17; 2 Corinthians 6:14–16; Galatians 1:6–9 Outline 1.
