What is the danger of self expression and how does it affect your heart as a worshipper of the Lord? While it is not wrong to be creative and to demonstrate the unique ways in which the Lord has created us as worshippers, self expression is actually a prideful thought process when we begin to attempt worshipping God through the lens of self.

The dangers and pitfalls of self expression are tied to self elevation. The heart is deceitful and we need instruction from outside of us in the Scriptures to inform our worship. Worship is meant to be done in Spirit and truth as a way of life. Corporate body life is impacted greatly when self is elevated. preaching, music, the one another's, and everything that happens on a Sunday is meant to be done selflessly in worship of the Lord for His glory and the benefit of others.

As a worshipper, our entire lives become worship. Parenting, marriage, vacations, hobbies, interests, sports, all is for the glory of God.

Join us as Pastor Daron and Daniel talk about how self expression creeps into every area of life and begins to affect our true worship .

In this episode of Shepherds Talk, Pastor Daron breaks down in detail what it looks like to have spiritual friendships (what we would also call discipleship). Discipleship is just a spiritual friendship as people grow together in their walk with the Lord. Maturity is the goal, and generally one person is helping another person grow, but it can work both ways and be formal or informal, one on one or in a group setting.
