WCC | Draw Near: Increasing Awareness, Apr. 19th 2026

About this episode

This episode explores the connection between worship and self-awareness, emphasizing the importance of private worship and daily responses to God.

In week two of the Draw Near series, we explore the connection between worship and self-awareness. Building on the definition that “worship is responding to God for who He is, with everything we are,” this message challenges us to ask a deeper question: Who are we, really? Using the Johari Window as a framework, we examine how growing in self-awareness—through vulnerability, humility, and time with God—expands what we can offer back to Him. Psalm 139 reminds us that God knows us fully, even the parts we don’t yet understand ourselves. This sermon emphasizes the importance of private worship—not just a weekly routine, but a daily response to a God who is all-knowing, ever-present, and all-powerful. As we draw near to Him in those quiet, personal moments, He reveals more of who we are so that we can surrender more fully to Him. The challenge is simple but powerful: Don’t let Sunday be your only moment of worship. Let it be the overflow of a life spent daily in the presence of God.
