This article is for worship leaders. And as such, I believe it needs to focus on leadership skills. It is my intent to do this from a Biblical perspective. The only prerequisite for leadership is you must have somebody follow you. I can be just one person or thousands. The definition is still the same…
I once asked a good friend of mine, “How do you know when you have entered into the presence of God? What was the process you use to be with the Lord and sense His presence?” I had been struggling with taking a step closer to the Lord in my own worship and wanted to…
“Accept, O lord, the willing praise of my mouth, and teach me your laws.” Psalm 119:108 Lord, please draw me closer to a place where your presence is all I seek. My spiritual breathing becomes shallow when I replace worship with my checklist of to do’s. Worship service attendance? Check. Monthly offering? Check. Weekly bible…

There seems to be a growing concern for the need of worship planning resources. Ministers of Music and Worship Leaders from across the globe are searching for new ways to plan and lead worship. We feel a deep need to be creative in our worship planning. There seems to be a trend of always needing…
