    7. the Centrality of Jesus Christ

    By Chuck Smith

    LEV 10:1MAT 6:1ACT 5:11CO 1:292CO 4:5

    Chuck Smith emphasizes the centrality of Jesus Christ in worship at Calvary Chapel, arguing that any behavior that draws attention away from Him is detrimental to the congregation's focus. He shares personal experiences of distractions during worship, such as individuals standing or performing interpretive dances, which shift the congregation's attention from Jesus to the individual. Smith advocates for addressing these distractions lovingly and firmly, ensuring that worship remains centered on Christ. He warns against the dangers of seeking personal glory in worship, citing biblical examples like Nadab and Abihu and Ananias and Sapphira, who faced severe consequences for drawing attention to themselves instead of honoring God. Ultimately, Smith calls for a commitment to keeping Jesus as the focal point of worship to foster a genuine and edifying church environment.
