“Made for Worship” by Pastor Daniel FloydOctober 19, 2025Did you know you were made for more than just getting through the day? Pastor Daniel continues our “Made for More” series by reminding us that true worship transforms us so we can enjoy the abundant life Jesus promised. As we praise God with our mouths, our actions, and our hearts, we step into our purpose and the life God designed for us all along.

What does it mean to live on mission for Jesus? Joakim Lundqvist continues our “Made for More” series with an empowering reminder that sharing the truth of the gospel is not merely accomplished through our words but in the way we live, the seeds we plant, and the refining we can grow through. When our minds are set on Jesus, our lives can have a greater impact on the world for the kingdom.

God desires a life of fulfillment for us, but what does that mean? Kicking off our “Made for More” series, Pastor Daniel teaches we were never meant to journey through this life alone. As believers, it’s part of our calling to forge healthy, godly relationships with those around us. Find out how God can equip you to have “more” with Him and the people He’s placed in your life!

In a world constantly searching for “more,” how can we be truly content? Pastor Daniel concludes our “Happy, but Hollow” series by teaching us that genuine contentment comes from both natural and supernatural work. We must learn contentment by living within limits and fuel it through gratitude, but Jesus completes the work. When our confidence is rooted in Him, we can be content whatever the circumstance.

What if joy wasn’t something you stumbled into, but something you could actually choose every day? Pastor Joakim Lundqvist continues our “Happy, but Hollow” series by showing us daily choices we can make to experience God’s endless supply of joy. These choices bring lasting peace and the fullness of joy, no matter our circumstances.

When the world around looks darkest, how do we find our way to joy? Pastor Daniel continues our “Happy, but Hollow” series by teaching from Paul’s example in Philippians. He reminds us that joy doesn’t come from our earthly credentials or circumstances but in remembering we are chosen by God, redeemed, and called for a purpose.

Discover the idea that joy isn't found but lived out, as Pastor Daniel highlights the importance of humility in restoring true happiness. He humorously connects the common experience of losing AirPods with the struggle to regain joy. Learn how a Christ-centered identity and selflessness can reclaim happiness in tough times. Explore the radical nature of humility and its essential role in obedience and service, taking cues from Jesus to actively embody faith and reflect God's love.

Discover the secret to unshakeable joy amidst life's challenges. Explore the deceptive nature of cultural ideals and the importance of daily scripture for spiritual growth. Learn how a genuine relationship with Christ fosters authentic joy, echoing the teachings of the Apostle Paul. Embrace perspectives of gratitude and purpose, even in adversity. Finally, find out how surrendering to God can lead to true fulfillment, encouraging listeners to trust in faith over control.

Did you know Jesus has us on a mission? And it has to do with His heart for every person in every nation. We’re celebrating God’s heart for the nations with Global Impact Weekend and an incredible reminder from Pastor Daniel as he concludes our Let’s Go series on evangelism. Jesus came to seek and save the lost—and we’re invited to join Him! Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we can share the gospel and make disciples from our neighborhoods to the nations. God’s story is still unfolding, and He’s calling us to step in as workers for the harvest.

Drawing from Scripture, he emphasizes deep love, faithful protection, spiritual growth, and leadership grounded in humility and integrity. The conversation explores what it means to follow the example of the Great Shepherd, highlighting the importance of commitment and community in the faith journey.
