Have you seen the TikToks criticizing megachurches and wondered what real worship actually looks like? In this message, Pastor Matt Brown breaks down the story of the alabaster jar to show that true worship isn't about music or production—it always costs you something. Stick around for a raw confession where he admits to burning out, making worship a "work," and losing his first love. If you're tired of going through the motions, watch this and subscribe for more honest conversations about following Jesus!
