Leading Worship
It’s not just getting up and singing a song, it’s about engagement not only with God but with your community of believers. Easier said than done, but in our Leading Worship section you will be able to learn from seasoned ministry veterans on how to make both the vertical and horizontal connections.
Stream
I have a small stream that flows through the woods behind my house. On a nice spring day, it is beautiful. The water shimmers as it dances over the rocks that make up the creek bed. That light sound of distant running water is so soothing and refreshing on a hot day. However, when Autumn…

Worship: Not A Spectator Sport
Worship is always about HIM consuming us and never about us consuming HIM. God will never share HIS glory! No matter how good or bad we feel on any given Sunday morning, we are created to worship HIM, to glorify HIM, to praise HIM. Today, however, modern worship is marked by intelligent lighting, high-definition video…

(Disclosure: The following thoughts are in part due to my recent reading of “The Rebirth of Music” by LaMar Boschman, which originally came out in 1980.

I was so moved by her courage to stand before a group of strangers and tell…

Are you grateful for your salvation? Does your worship reflect your gratitude? Let’s reflect together on Luke 7:36-50. In this passage we find Jesus reclining at the dinner table of Simon the Pharisee. Around the table, the dinner guests lay propped up on one elbow with the other hand free for eating, drinking and gesturing. The diners’ heads…

Leading Worship: Remedies for the Christmas Hangover
Christmas can definitely be “the most wonderful time of the year.” It’s the time of year that we can really focus on and celebrate the birth of our Savior. There’s also the family time, lit up neighborhoods, presents, carols, parties, chocolate covered pretzels and one of my favorites…EGGNOG. Just like a little too much eggnog…
