When Worship Goes Wrong

·37 min·1 clip

The human heart is an idol factory. We are constantly taking good things and turning them into idols, asking them to give us what only God can give us.

Pastor Dave Ripper preaches from Jeremiah 7 on how worship becomes distorted when hearts prioritize comfort, control, affirmation, or security over genuine relationship with God. He shares a vulnerable personal story about losing his worship leader identity and traces the biblical pattern from Israel's temple worship through Jesus' cleansing of the temple to the cross as the ultimate restoration of right worship.
