Lead pastors are awesome. I serve with one of the best in the world. I’ve written a lot on the blog about owning your senior pastor’s vision and understanding your pastor’s values.
So, let’s have some fun today. Worship leaders, because your pastor is so awesome, you might want to keep your vocabulary free from these sayings:
1. My worship leading is so much better than your preaching. I basically populate this church with my awesomeness.
2. We should do a sermon series on worship. I could teach all of it.
3. Shorten worship? Who do you think you are?
4. Yea, I’ll take your criticism into possible consideration a few year from now, but probably never.
5. My worship leading could beat up your preaching any day.
6. You think preaching is hard? Ha! Try leading a band, connecting with God, and leading a congregation at the same time!
7. What do you think the angels are doing in heaven? Preaching? I don’t think so. They SING!
8. If I wrote a hit song for every time someone fell asleep during your sermons, I’d be rich!
9. That’s not part of my job description.
10. Sorry I slept in and missed worship on Sunday. Man, was I tired!
11. I’ve been working on a new church logo featuring me and my guitar on display. So awesome. Wanna check it out?
12. I can’t attend staff meeting this week. Gotta keep up with all my Facebook & Twitter fans. Maybe next time!
13. I almost peed my pants laughing at your outfit on Sunday! Wow.
14. So, how did you get into the ministry? Did you say you were called? Really?
15. You should probably give me a raise for how good that worship set was! Amazing!
What is something you would never say to your lead pastor? You can leave a comment by clicking here. Then go tell your pastor how much you appreciate him 🙂
Btw, if you thought this post was ever so slightly humorous, consider sharing it with your social network via the sharing icons below. I would really appreciate it! You’re awesome..
More music. Less talk.
Haha! Good one.
6 and 13!!!! Soooooo funny!!!!
“uh…sir…could you not sing along when your mic is on…thanks”
Classic!
Wow! haha. I really like 11!
I don’t have any to add, but just wanted to say thanks for the laugh!
“When the Spirit moves, why’s is it always for extended all night worship and never extended all night preaching”?
Amazing. Bro, you should come up with your own list and I’ll feature you as a guest poster.
Well, let me start by saying I’m not the worship leader at my church, just a guy who is passionate about worship. let me finish by saying my pastor is my dad…
So there’s nothing you may not want to say to your dad? 🙂
I think the best plan is to keep my mouth shut, but if I were to pick one of the 15 to say it would have to be 13
Good call 🙂
“No, no, no…you don’t get on the stage until I’ve done all the epic transitions and songs I want to!”
Might be interesting to see a list going the other way 😉
While at a church leaders’ conference, my pastor once introduced my to one of his old friends: “This is our worship leader… he’s really important, we just don’t pay him that much”
Ha! What did you say to that!?
