Worship divorced from how you treat people isn't worship

Main message: True worship requires both honoring God as King and living consistently toward other people. Either worship without righteous treatment of others, or activism without submission to Jesus’ lordship, becomes empty.

Key points:

• Worship in church is negated if someone mistreats people outside the church, including online.
• The Bible describes that kind of disconnected worship as a “resounding gong.”
• Loving and serving people without acknowledging Jesus as King and God’s holy authority becomes “empty activism.”
• What is needed is surrender to Christ’s lordship and recognition that it is His kingdom.
• The response should be wholehearted submission: “I surrender.”
