In this message from the UnCommon series, we learn how godly relationships should reflect the character of Jesus. Believers are called to love others, forgive freely, speak truth with kindness, encourage one another, and serve selflessly. Our friendships and everyday interactions are opportunities to share the gospel and bring Christ’s influence into the lives of others. Uncommon relationships are built when we choose obedience to Jesus over the selfish patterns of the world.

In this message from Leviticus 10, we examine the sobering story of Nadab and Abihu and discover that worship is not something we define for ourselves. God is holy, and He desires worship that flows from humble hearts, faithful obedience, and a genuine relationship with Him.

Spiritual experiences, church attendance, music, and outward actions cannot replace daily surrender to God’s Word. True worship begins when we recognize our sin, come with a broken and contrite heart, and approach God through the only way He has provided—Jesus Christ. This message challenges us to move beyond casual, common worship and recover a sense of reverence, awe, gratitude, and obedience in the presence of Almighty God.

Uncommon: Part 2 | The Heart of True Worship

What is worship, really?

In a world where worship is often centered around personal preference and feelings, God's Word calls us to something different—something uncommon. Looking at Exodus 30 and Romans 12, Pastor Dave challenges us to see that true worship isn't about music, performance, or what we get out of it. It's about bringing ourselves before God as a living sacrifice.

Discover why God takes worship seriously, how our hearts matter more than our voices, and why preparing for worship begins long before Sunday morning.

Whether you're a longtime believer or just beginning your faith journey, this message will encourage you to move beyond routine and rediscover what it means to worship God in spirit and in truth.
