Ephesians (2018‪)‬ Dr. Robert L. Dean, Jr.

Do you have a “small” view of the God of the universe and enjoy worshiping Him in ways that are relaxed and familiar? Listen to this message to begin to understand God’s immensity and His holiness. See that He is unique and that any time someone in the Bible was in His presence they fell down in awe. The challenge for us is to focus on God and His uniqueness and not to diminish His greatness by our acts of worship.

Are there any biblical guidelines teaching us how we are to worship God? Listen to this message to learn that both the Old and New Testaments show us the correct way. Hear three assumptions to help us in this area. Find out there are authorized worship practices and unauthorized practices and what happens to those who choose to worship God the wrong way.

How should we worship God? Listen to this message that begins a new series on worshiping God biblically.

What is the role of the Holy Spirit in the spiritual growth of a believer? Listen to this message to learn that a believer’s spiritual life is empowered by both the Word of God and the Spirit of God.
