And He also told this parable to certain ones who trusted in themselves that their worship style was the only acceptable form: “Four men went up in to the temple to pray, two traditional music directors and two contemporary worship leaders. One of the music directors stood and was praying thus to himself, ‘God, I…
The growing emphasis on fresh music and worship in our churches has caused many new worship leaders and songwriters to spring up out of our own local congregations! However, many smaller churches don’t have the resources or the funds to provide resources to those budding songwriters. There are so many new worship songs just waiting…
The Ministry of Music is one of the most vital ministries in the local church and should be viewed as a sacred office. Discovering your call begins with a DESIRE to be used by God to impact the local church and the world around you. There are two words that will help you understand the…
