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.
