Are we being the people God has called us to be? During a special morning of worship in song led by the Travis Lee Band (Travis, Allegra, and Vic Lee), Travis Lee presents a message from Matthew 5:11-13 and a picture of Christian life unpolluted and undiluted from the world and its trials. As “salt of the earth,” followers of Christ are challenged to exhibit a faith that endures (like salt), cleanses (like salt), and brings flavor (like salt) to the world. How salty are you?

“...she brought an alabaster vial of perfume, and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and kept wiping them with the hair of her head, and kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.” Steve Smith preaches from Luke 7:36-50 on what it means to worship God. From the example of the woman in this passage, we discover 5 expressions of loving Christ which flow freely from the heart of those who have been forgiven much. We are challenged in our worship to bear love for Jesus that is adoring, courageous, vulnerable, humble, and grateful.
