Jesus - God’s greatest expression of love led the way in sacrificial worship.
He was willing to lay down His life for the sheep.
He is Love and Love led worship.
Jesus went to the cross joyfully. His loving, joyful obedience to the will of the Father is our greatest example. He didn’t do things to satisfy his own ego-driven needs, no, He would only do what He saw the Father doing. Jesus was constantly moved by compassion for the people He was sent to serve. When compassion moved Him it resulted in acts of supernatural service that would bring Kingdom breakthrough, set captives free, heal the broken-hearted, bring hope to the poor and the destitute.
In the same way that Jesus served in loving sacrifice, as worshippers and worship teams, we are meant to use our gifting to serve God’s kingdom purpose, not our own. We are called to lay down our own desires for the dreams of the Father, for us and for His people.
In this practical and thought provoking book, we explore what it means to lead a worship team, love our church community and deal with our own journey into the heart of the Father.
It's extremely practical and an easy read.
I love the chapter on multicultural worship.
Even though there are loads of practical tips in this book; my hope was not to write a definitive guide to worship leading, the Internet is full of good material, it’s to share
|Love led Worship
what has worked for me in practice leading a few people, and many people in worship. I am not a big-name worship leader. I am just a worshiper of God who loves touching the heart of the Father and leading people into a place of encounter with the One who can change their lives forever.
To clarify everything, I believe that worship is not just singing or playing an instrument. Our entire lives lived to the glory of God is an expression of worship. Lives surrendered to the heart, the will and the pleasure of the Father is at the core of how we worship God with our lives.
