Always say Thank you

๐Ÿ“—๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ–Š๏ธEPISTLE TO MUSIC MINISTRY LEADERS ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽป๐Ÿช• ๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿ“ƒ๐Ÿ–‹๏ธSeason 1. Episode 7. ALWAYS SAY "THANKS" ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ๐Ÿ““๐Ÿ“– Lastly, none of us have the talents and giftedness that weโ€™re able to offer to God in this place because of anything that we did, earned, or deserved. What we offer to God each week is sheer grace, and our only fitting response is โ€œThanks.โ€ When we sense Godโ€™s presence in worship, and we are transported to the very throne of God, say โ€œthanksโ€™ and when we feel as if our offerings were anemic and lifeless, say โ€œthanks.โ€ The privilege of participation is where joy lies. When we look back at our lives, our regrets will likely come more from what we didnโ€™t do than from what we did. Saying โ€œthanksโ€ in the middle of the everyday and normal of life is often what makes the difference.

SHOWING UP MATTERS ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ๐Ÿ““๐Ÿ“– Showing up week after week gives God the chance to transform our lives. The more we show up, the better chance we have of being in the middle of things when Godโ€™s Spirit is prominently experienced. Showing up over a long period of time shapes and molds us into creatures who are more God-like. We become like those with whom we spend time โ€“ hanging out regularly with Godโ€™s children is likely the best way to more readily resemble God.

Our part of the God/human equation is to offer God what we have. We are not in charge of changing lives, drawing people closer to Christ, or creating Holy Spirit moments. These are Godโ€™s to do (and Godโ€™s only). Give what you have to offer to God, and God can be trusted to do Godโ€™s part.

FEELINGS๐ŸŽ™๏ธ๐Ÿ““๐Ÿ“– Acknowledge that we donโ€™t always feel like serving and leading, and thatโ€™s alright. Often, we mistake that we should be eager to participate in worship leadership or other service for our gifts of time and talents to be genuine. There are Wednesday afternoons and Sunday mornings when coming to church to do what I love to do most is nevertheless difficult. However, when I get here and get involved, Iโ€™m grateful for the opportunity to serve and lead. Every good thing in life takes effort and intentionality โ€“ they donโ€™t just happen. In our culture, we make the mistake of thinking that everything should feel good โ€“ all the time โ€“ when most often, feelings follow actions.

Presence of evil

๐Ÿ“—๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ–Š๏ธEPISTLE TO MUSIC MINISTRY LEADERS ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽป๐Ÿช• ๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿ“ƒ๐Ÿ–‹๏ธSeason 1. Episode 2. PRESENCE OF EVIL๐ŸŽ™๏ธ๐Ÿ““๐Ÿ“– The Evil one would want us to be discouraged from our service through worship ministry โ€” for leaders to become weary and lack zeal would be a tremendous way for the evil one to invade your church and interrupt its dependence on God. Realize that any good work will always be a target for evil. While our recognition of the evil oneโ€™s power is not something about which to be obsessed, we must be cognizant of the power of evil; for worship leaders to become discouraged and lackluster would signal victory for the devil. One way in which I experienced what I perceive to be the power of evil is the tendency for challenges to arise on Saturday night (family issues, fatigue, minor illnesses, people cancelling Sunday leadership responsibilities, etc.), and I end up with Sunday morning discouragement. But thank God for His faithfulness. >>>>Consider finding a group to pray for your churchโ€™s worship leadership โ€“ especially on Saturday nights.

Our calling is high

OUR CALLING IS HIGH๐ŸŽ™๏ธ๐Ÿ““๐Ÿ“– Service through worship ministry is a high calling โ€“ nothing could be more important. As we consider the Mary/Martha story, it is easy to argue that the โ€œpracticalโ€ or the โ€œholyโ€ things of the church are more important. However, sitting at Jesusโ€™ feet is important, and preparing for the work of worship is important. All the work of the church is important โ€“ the jobs that may go unnoticed, and those that are in the spotlight. When we believe that we are called instead of obligated, everything changes; all the work of the churchโ€™s ministries become important and equally valuable.

Epistle to music ministers

๐Ÿ“—๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ–Š๏ธEPISTLE TO MUSIC Ministry LEADERS ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽป๐Ÿช• โœ๏ธโœ๏ธINTRODUCTION๐Ÿ“œ๐Ÿ“” Recently, I was asked to bring a challenge to all the worship and music ministry leadership in a church where a close friend of mine is the music and worship leader. As I thought for several weeks about what to say to those who play instruments, sing in the choir and worship ensemble, run sound, design bulletins, and much more, I finally settled on the remarks that follow. I hope that they might also provide perspective for you and for those involved in your churchโ€™s music and worship ministry. Any time we speak about worship, our communion with God, we are dealing directly with what is immensely sacred, i.e., encountering the divine, touching holy things. Worship is the most important practice in our lives and in our church โ€“ giving praise and adoration to the one who created all that is. When we lead others in worship we are participating in the only activity on earth that will also be a part of heaven. Consider the following: (1)While Bible study is life-changing here on earth, we will not do Bible study in heaven. (2)While sharing our faith and helping those in need is crucial on earth, there will be no needs in heaven for us to attend to. (3) While committee work and meetings are the way in which we accomplish our work in our churches, we will not take this work with us to heaven. When we worship, we are engaging with God โ€“ we are doing on earth what we will spend an eternity doing in the presence of God. While worship is a rehearsal for heaven, it is more than that โ€” it is a connection, an extension of heaven. We encounter God is places that may be between here and eternity (what some theologians have called a thin space) โ€“ we worship on earth with our earthy community yet we are connected to God in an eternal act of offering toward God. So how is it that we remain faithful to that to which God has called us (our worship leadership)? How do we continue in our worship leadership when we donโ€™t always feel it? What will sustain us as we look toward this new year of worship and service? As you explore these questions, Get ready as I take you on this journey of Episodes which begins on the 7th July 2020.
