Worshipology

What does Jesus say about the Old Testament? What does it mean that He fulfilled the Law and Prophets? How does this affect our view of obedience and grace as true worshippers?

Right after the beatitudes in Matthew 5:3-12, Jesus addresses His disciples as salt and light on the earth. As a true worshipper, you will have an impact on the world.

Perhaps the hardest beatitude, Matthew 5:10-12 confronts true worshippers with the reality that a God-filled life will lead to opposition and even persecution. But take heart!

What does it mean to be a peacemaker? Jesus's Sermon on the Mount tells us that peace comes when true worshippers actively sow good things in places where conflict abounds. Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks Matthew 5:9 and its implications for believers. Jesus paid the highest cost to grant us peace before God the Father, and true worshippers are called to follow His example. In doing so, we show the world that we belong to Him.

Matthew 5:8 tells us that pure hearts will see God. However, if our hearts are sinful (Jeremiah 17:9, Matthew 15:19), how do we get them pure? What a great question! Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks this verse and shows how God can both purify and keep cleaning our hearts so that we can see Him now and into eternity.

As true worshippers, how do we align with God's will and match Jesus's heart? We show mercy! Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks Matthew 5:7 and its implications. As the Christ-Centered Exposition Series says, "Mercy known is mercy shown." You don't want to miss this episode.

Are you tired of feeding and drinking from this world only to end up hungrier and thirstier? Do you long for true satisfaction? You can have that! Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks Matthew 5:6. When we hunger for Christ Himself, Christ in us, and Christ in the world; the Bible promises us that we will be filled and satisfied- first in this life, but most in the next. Come be encouraged by this episode.

Surely Jesus can't be serious when He says in Matthew 5:4 that we are blessed when we mourn! We want to live happy and joyful lives, and mourning doesn't seem to contribute to that. However, join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks this beatitude and its implications for the true worshipper. Though mourning may sting, Jesus has promised that comfort will follow to bring healing and hope.

What does it mean for Christians to be poor in spirit in Matthew 5:3? Jesus promises the Kingdom of Heaven to those that are. It is not always easy, but it is always worth it. Tune in for some encouragement from Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks what this means for true worshippers.

If our identity as true worshippers is different from the world, the way we see the world will be different too. Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he begins a series on Jesus's Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7. Living out these passages may not make sense to many, and it will require losing things that the world says is important. So, is it worth it? Christian, the answer is... absolutely.

Did you know that worship has vertical and horizontal components? When done according to Scripture, worship both glorifies God and builds up the local church.

As true worshippers, we belong together. However, we are made up of many members with different gifts, opinions, convictions, and preferences; and we will either flourish or wither. What determines this? A big factor is unity. Join Dr. Ball as he addresses this issue in Ephesians 4:1-6. Churches can either glorify God through unity or give a foothold to Satan through discord. What will you choose?

A holy God-A holy Word-A holy worship. Do you ever find it hard to worship God in all aspects of your life? We're emotional creatures, and life is not always easy.

Join Dr. Ball as he connects God's holiness to the Scriptures to steady the true worship of all Christians.
