Worship & Creative Leaders

The Mackie ProFX16v3 16-channel professional effects mixer is a reasonably priced mixer that does most of the things that the big boys do, only you can purchase it without breaking your budget.

Every person I interviewed about the best choices of church stage lighting told me the same thing: The industry standard is now LED lighting and it is timeless.

As musicians on a stage in front of a congregation, worship drummer is a leader. A few key ideas: serving the worship leader, serving the audio engineer, and serving the church—some things practical and some things spiritual.

Our worship actions can drown out the distinct voice of God that is often only discernible in the silence. In the midst of our self-generated noise, we can miss healing, comforting, and encouraging words of hope.

The question is not whether or not worship ought to be emotional. Of course it does; and worship—as a way of meeting God—has always involved emotion. The question is whether emotional worship is appropriate or not.

Mixing hymns with contemporary worship songs is quite a challenge and back then resources were non-existent. It was a stark choice: hymns vs contemporary worship.

In one year, this congregation sings louder, more heartily, and more of them sing.

Don’t lose one of God’s greatest gifts to us, emotion, because you have seen emotion in the church abused before.
