Pastor Chrissy Cole teaches week two of the Rhythms series with a message titled “Worship.” This sermon reframes worship as a spiritual rhythm designed to form believers through corporate gathering, unity, and devotion to Jesus—not simply an emotional experience. Chrissy outlines the kind of worship that pleases God: unity-driven devotion, Spirit-filled praise, Bible-centered proclamation, and a heart-connected response that leads to obedience and transformation.
