What if worship isn’t just singing, but fighting? Worship isn’t just music—it’s war for your soul. From Carl Boberg’s thunderstorm poem that became How Great Thou Art to David’s praise in Psalm 145, we see that worship is deeply personal, fully surrendered, generational, and rooted in gratitude. But in the middle of distractions, selfish desires, and the enemy’s lies, worship becomes warfare. It’s the battle to keep our attention and affection on the only One who is worthy. God alone can carry the full weight of our devotion without failing. That’s why we say with confidence, “Then sings my soul, How Great Thou Art.” 📣 Episode Mentions: Scripture Passage: Psalm 145 Preacher: Pastor Ryan Britt Hymns Album https://lnk.to/Eleven22WorshipHymns 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: When Worship Feels Like Warfare - The Adamec's Story  How Great Thou Art - Worship is War: Wk 3 (Full Service)  Living in Awe - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S23E3  Worship is War Sermon Series About The Church of Eleven22 The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
