Life Under the Sun: Guard Your Steps

Oct 25, 2026  •  Brian Barr

Is it possible to show up to church, sing every song, hear the message, and still miss the point of worship?


In Ecclesiastes 5, we’re challenged to guard our steps when we come before God. It’s easy to approach church with a consumer mindset, evaluating what we get out of the experience rather than considering what we’re bringing before the Lord. But true worship isn’t about religious performance, empty words, or simply going through the motions. God wants our hearts. Hearts filled with reverence and joy, ready to listen, surrender, and obey.


Through Jesus, we’ve been given access to the presence of a holy God, and by His Spirit, He dwells among His people. Gathering together as a church family is no ordinary thing. What would change if we stopped simply attending church and started approaching every gathering with an expectation to encounter the living God?


You can join our OneLife Sunday morning gatherings via livestream at 9am and 11am CST every Sunday morning. Or if you’re local to the Bay Area of Houston, we’d love to have you join us in person Saturdays at 5pm and Sundays at 9am and 11am!
