How to Worship God
Thursday, June 11, 2026
In order for worship to meet God’s criteria, three “musts” are needed: We must be born again, the Son of Man must be lifted up and we must worship in spirit and in truth. Worship is not about feelings and emotions, or simply a time when we gather on a Sunday morning. True worship comes about when our spirit-the divine nature within us-meets with the spirit of God.

Rejoicing in Trials
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:10-12
The Bible tells us that those who are persecuted are blessed, but that message is certainly contrary to the message the world believes. So how is it that Christians can rejoice in trials? In this booklet, Dr. Boice describes what it means to be persecuted for Christ, tells us how to rejoice in persecutions, and challenges us to stand up and be counted.
