      <title>Whole-Hearted — Week 1: What God Actually Wants</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>David and the people of Israel were passionate about bringing the Ark of God back to Jerusalem. They celebrated, worshiped, and genuinely desired God's presence—yet their good intentions ended in tragedy.</p><p>In Week 1 of <strong>Whole-Hearted: A Journey of Worship</strong>, Pastor Tim walks through 1 Chronicles 13 and the difficult story of Uzzah to uncover an important truth about authentic worship: <strong>God doesn't simply want our enthusiasm; He wants our hearts surrendered to Him.</strong></p><p>This message challenges us to examine whether we've allowed our preferences, traditions, emotions, or good intentions to define worship instead of allowing God to shape our response to Him. Authentic worship begins when we stop approaching God solely on our own terms and learn to honor Him for who He truly is.</p><p><strong>Scripture:</strong> <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Chronicles%2013&amp;version=NKJV" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>1 Chronicles 13</strong></a></p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>David and the people of Israel were passionate about bringing the Ark of God back to Jerusalem. They celebrated, worshiped, and genuinely desired God's presence—yet their good intentions ended in tragedy.</p><p>In Week 1 of <strong>Whole-Hearted: A Journey of Worship</strong>, Pastor Tim walks through 1 Chronicles 13 and the difficult story of Uzzah to uncover an important truth about authentic worship: <strong>God doesn't simply want our enthusiasm; He wants our hearts surrendered to Him.</strong></p><p>This message challenges us to examine whether we've allowed our preferences, traditions, emotions, or good intentions to define worship instead of allowing God to shape our response to Him. Authentic worship begins when we stop approaching God solely on our own terms and learn to honor Him for who He truly is.</p><p><strong>Scripture:</strong> <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Chronicles%2013&amp;version=NKJV" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>1 Chronicles 13</strong></a></p>
