We were all created to worship. The real question is not 'do I worship?' but 'what do I choose to worship?'
What does the Bible say about worship and praise?
"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!" (Psalms 150:6): praise runs through the whole Bible, from David's psalms to the songs of Revelation. It is not reserved for easy seasons — Paul and Silas sing in prison (Acts 16:25) — and it is not first a music style but an orientation of the heart: a sacrifice of praise offered at all times (Hebrews 13:15).
The sermon summaries on this page show what praise changes: it moves the gaze from circumstances to God, sometimes precedes the victory, and ushers into his presence. Each summary links back to the full teaching on video.

Frequently asked questions about "Worship"
Why praise God?
Because he is worthy, whatever our circumstances — and because praise transforms us: it puts God back at the center, drives out discouragement and opens the way into his presence (Psalms 100:4).
How can I praise God when everything goes wrong?
That is the "sacrifice of praise" of Hebrews 13:15: a choice that costs. Paul and Silas sang in prison at midnight (Acts 16:25), and in 2 Chronicles 20 the victory comes as the singing begins. Praising in a trial is not denying the pain — it is declaring that God is still God.
Is worship only about singing?
No. Singing is one expression (Ephesians 5:19), but biblical worship engages the whole life: gratitude, obedience, service. John 4:24 speaks of worshiping "in spirit and in truth" — a posture of the heart before any form.
