Listen "WORSHIP ≠ MUSIC"
Episode Synopsis
Michael explains that worship in Scripture is not centered on music but on a life shaped by fearing God, bowing in surrender, and serving with faithful obedience. The modern church culture has reduced worship to personal musical preference, creating a consumer mindset that obscures the biblical call to reverence, humility, justice, and allegiance to God. By examining the meaning of key worship terms and the witness of the prophets, the teaching presents worship as an embodied, whole-life response that reflects God's character, with music functioning as only one expression of devotion rather than the definition of worship itself. The call is to recenter worship on God’s desires instead of emotional experience or production value, recovering a holistic, Scripture-formed life of fidelity to Him.
