Worship

We get caught up in style and flavor way to much when it comes to worship so I don't want to focus on that but what worship is to me. I feel that leading worship is a huge responsibility not to be taken lightly and that it is very much emotional based. At my church we have recently started using in-ear monitors and I find that it isolates the band from the congregation which I both dislike and love. I dislike hearing voices echo through the sanctuary but love the just me and God feeling that I get and has really made leading that more enjoyable not focusing on mess-ups (which you can hear even better now) but praising and feeling the Holy Spirit. As a youth pastor I hope that the praise team can help the youth see the importance of worship and giving glory to our amazing Savior and that it extends to living a life of worship that is uplifting to those around us. Prayer is so key in worship and is something I am working on making sure all of me is ready to give all I have to God. Please pray for me and the rest of the worship team that we give everything we have, every time we get up and sing His praises.

What-ifs and Whatevers

On my way home from work after a snowy day, I noticed the half moon hanging in the night sky. It was beautiful, then I noticed how clear it was and how you could see all the stars and I was thinking God is Great. Maybe it was the JJ Heller cd playing in the truck or the fact that we just got the awesome news this week that we are having a girl but it was so clear to me at that exact second... stop worrying about silly details and just love people. Sharing the message of grace and forget about cliques and stereotypes. We get so caught up in having fun and trying to have a good time, we stop caring about others and putting them in front of ourselves. People could be having troubles at home or maybe a sickness in the family and all they need is someone to say hi or even have a chat with them. So what I am getting at is wipe away your grumpy face because your sports team lost or you phone just died and smile, help someone out and listen. As Paul says in Acts 20:35 "it is more blessed to give then to receive".
