worship

Sometimes I lead the worship band and sometimes I play in the band. Both are important roles and have specific responsibilities to do them well. As both a leader and a player/singer, here are my 10 most important rules for great worship team members.

Do I really need to go to church as a follower of Christ? When Jesus talked with the “Woman at the Well” about places of worship, his point wasn’t that place was unimportant.

We want our churches to be free to worship. But what does it actually mean? Is freedom the liberty one feels to wield a “Lion of Judah” flag across the front of the church? Is freedom a boisterous dance? Is freedom the right to be crazy?

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

Some spontaneity in your worship sets will encourage the community to engage in unique and fresh ways in the midst of a service.

In a worship team meeting, Each worship element is not pre-determined but developed together as a group. Every church, regardless of congregational size and worship design team experience, can learn something from a self-evaluation process. There are a number of details to cover in a worship team meeting.

How to think about what kind of legacy you'll leave. When worship leaders have a fear of being upstaged, it blinds us from our power to replace ourself with the next great leader. That’s an incredible power and responsibility.

Singing for the Christian is formative and responsive, and therefore must be informed by Scripture. The importance of hymns is that we learn what we sing.
