Why is worship spiritual rather than carnal?

Worship in the New Testament is described as spiritual and more profound than mere external rites and rituals. Jesus emphasized this when speaking to the woman at the well, affirming that true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth (John 4:24). This sermon elaborates that spiritual worship is a communion that reflects our relationship with Christ, rather than being rooted in outward forms. As believers transition from a focus on the carnal to a heart of worship, they begin to truly experience God's presence and grace, understanding that worship is inherently tied to the work of Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
