Rev. Dr. Cheryl Lindsay: Worshiping A Compassionate God

Purchase your 2023 Lent Devotional HERE!!

"The word compassion, which means to suffer with, like the idea that Jesus has compassion - yes! because he did it. That's the ultimate, epitome of God's compassion. Christ coming is saying, you know what I can't get them to be more like me until I become more like them."

Rev. Dr. Cheryl Lindsay is here this week to share her brilliance and expertise around worship; but even more so, she speaks to the God who knows, sees, and understands us. She knows what it is to wonder if she is qualified for the call God placed on her heart - you know that question we've all wondered: am I enough? Good enough? Smart enough? Thankfully, she trusted in the call and is here sharing what she has learned on the journey about what it means to worship beyond just in the sanctuary, but in our every day lives.
