This week, Micah Watson (our Hope Church worship pastor) walked us through the final teaching of our series on worship. for the past three weeks, we've been asking the question: what is worship? This week, Micah beautifully wrapped up the series by leading us to view every aspect of our lives--from changing diapers to singing songs on Sunday mornings--through the lens of asking: is this worship?

In Matthew 22, Jesus tells us to love God with all of our heart, soul, and mind. This week, we look at the third of these three elements, discovering that loving God with our mind is actually loving God with the "muchness" of our lives.

Jesus tells us in Matthew 22 to love God with all our soul. This word comes from the same word we use for psychology and psyche--meaning, it's the core of who you are. But, what does it look like to love God in this way...especially when just beneath the surface, there's a "personal shadow" that causes us to drift from the things of God and toward the things of death?

The uncertainty that we all face in life many times leads to a fear that paralyzes us and keeps us from moving forward or a fear that leads to panic where we constantly move from thing to thing. What God calls us to, however, is something far greater…something that actually leads to freedom and peace. In this week’s message, we’re going to look at what it means to walk in the fear of the Lord and how it’s the only way we’ll actually experience freedom from the prison of paralysis and panic.

Last week, we talked about how the early church was defined by having peace and being built up and how it was because of two things they held onto: walking in the fear of the Lord and walking in the comfort of the Holy Spirit. This weekend, we finished up this series by asking the questions:

1. Who/what is the Holy Spirit?
2. Why does it mean to be comforted by the Holy Spirit?
3. What does it mean for me?
