The Five Refusals: Disciplined Joy
Summer Worship

This Sunday, we continue our summer worship rhythm and keep listening for the God who strengthens us in the right refusals. A holy refusal can become a doorway to life. It can help us stop cooperating with what depletes us and start paying attention to what God is making possible.

Questions for Worship Preparation:

• Where do you need God’s word to steady you?
• What kind of strength are you asking God to grow in you?
