Worship teaching?
My pastor has been challenging me that as I am leading worship week after week, I need to take time now and then to prod our people to strive to worship whole-heartedly. There are people at our church from a myriad of backgrounds - from ultra-conservative to ultra-charismatic worship styles. Some have not yet experienced the joy they can have by engaging not only the mind, but the whole being as well (raising hands to God, clapping, etc. ). On the other hand, some have not experienced the weight of understanding the Gospel as the highest motivation to worship. I want to continue to prod our congregation to unhitch from the peripheral weights that hold them back because that is a part of leading people to worship. I will forever continue to learn the balance of worshipping in Spirit and in Truth. What do you think?
I thought it was great to see Bob Kauflin do a great job of this with his people. There are many different ways of doing this but it got my wheels turnin’.
