Comments on: What Does a Worship Leader Do? Pt. 16 http://www.worshipmatters.com/2006/03/what-does-a-worship-leader-do-part-16/ Resources for Leading Worship from Bob Kauflin Fri, 08 Aug 2008 01:11:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Jadie Stiven http://www.worshipmatters.com/2006/03/what-does-a-worship-leader-do-part-16/#comment-277 Jadie Stiven Thu, 02 Mar 2006 17:55:46 +0000 http://www.worshipmatters.com?p=101#comment-277 Man! What a wonderful quote. It really makes me question how I have viewed our Sunday time of worship up to now. I think I have known that 'life should always be a life long response of worship'... but that quote for today has really reminded and encouraged me to review my thoughts on, "Sunday's Worship"... and to actively look to remind myself that Sunday mornings are not a time to 'Call to Worship', but a time to spur each other on to continue to daily worship. Of course it is also a time to enjoy a special oppertunity of JOINT WORSHIP, where the body of Christ joins in one voice to PRAISE GOD! Music, and in particular singing, is such a wonderful tool to praise God together with one voice. I love to stand along-side my fellow brothers and sisters, and rejoice together in the wonderful grace we have received through the cross. I imagine myself with my fellow church members, numbered also among the thousands of worshippers world-wide, in heaven and on earth who are privileged to sing God's praise, and to proclaim His name. I would like to personally progress myself in remembering throughout the week, that there are many opportunities where I can find a way to 'shout' through my actions and thoughts also,... 'I love you Jesus! I put you first in my life, and I give you all the glory! You alone are worthy!'. May God's grace help me to become a more faithful worshipper - that in turn I may lead others more effectively. Man! What a wonderful quote. It really makes me question how I have viewed our Sunday time of worship up to now. I think I have known that ‘life should always be a life long response of worship’… but that quote for today has really reminded and encouraged me to review my thoughts on, “Sunday’s Worship”… and to actively look to remind myself that Sunday mornings are not a time to ‘Call to Worship’, but a time to spur each other on to continue to daily worship.
