The Directional Worship Leader

First off, I really appreciate Google, it is there I find my pictures to upload. I thought this arrow was pretty cool looking. Anyway, on to the blog for today the directional worship leader. The Music man, song leader guy, music director, Minister of Music, Music Pastor, on and on so many different names for the worship guy, and with so many names typically you see within our churches today many different directions the worship is going on Sunday. Usually the worship is geared towards the people and what they like, songs they have heard before and found under the umbrella of "AUDIENCE OF ONE" Really? you got tio be kidding me right? Sadly no, worship leaders are often pushed, forced, guided, ect to please the folks. Cliche I know but to fully exalt Christ on Sunday is hard. It takes a lot of preparation, that begins first in the prayer and mediation's of the worship leaders heart, from there is born into something that exalts Christ...many will say a good music minister, worship guy, meets the needs of the people, but if we get honest, a good worship guy or gal, channels the heart of God to the people inviting the presence of God into the sanctuary. Read Exodus 40...the whole chapter. Preparation leads to the cloud of glory.

Come Down to Us,
Chris

Worship is about preparation. Preparing ourselves to hear from our Maker. Preparing ourselves to meet him face to face. Worship is also just an overflow of what is already happening inside of us. When we don't worship we are not living it elsewhere.
