Is worship ministry all about excellence?
If modern worship is any indicator, I would say it is.
We place our attention on lights. Sound. Stage. Guitars. Haze. Crowds. Band.
Sure, these things aren’t the devil.
But does a Christ-centered worship ministry just happen? Is it a by product of these things or is it something more?
Have you ever read this Scripture verse?
“Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy” (Psalm 33:3).
If you lead worship, I’m sure you have. But you may be wondering, “How?” or “Why can’t I have a band like Israel Houghton, or Michael Gungor, or Chris Tomlin?”
To have stage presence or not to have stage presence?
That is the question of the day. I want to introduce a tension…and then discuss. So please, get your comments ready.
When it comes to leading worship, you need more than just passion, the ability to sing, and a guitar in your hands.
If worship were simply a musical experience, that would suffice. But it’s not. It’s an experience with God. It’s pastoral. It’s people skills.
When fans attend a concert, they are there to watch and sing and give the artist their full attention.
When worshipers attend a worship service, they are looking for Jesus. The problem is, we often distract people from seeing Him.
Today marks the release of a project that has claimed much of my life over the past year.
It’s Undying Love – the live worship album from Allison Park Church.
Undying Love is an album for the church. Filled with prayers, declarations of truth, and a soundtrack that will energize your day.
