Preached by Jared Kress on Feb. 8 2026.
Main Idea:
Each era of worship throughout biblical and church history has something to celebrate and has contributed significantly to what we now enjoy as “blended worship.” Blended worship should not simply aim to find a middle ground between extreme styles, but instead involve curating the best lessons learned throughout history.
Challenge:
How can we learn from the best lessons and failures of history to have the most God-honoring approach to worship?
