Worship is Loving Others

< Back to blog index

Hey
 
Thanks for stopping by!
 
In my blog today I'm going to carry on with the teaching that we've been doing with our own worship team here at Abundant Life called worship is...... Below you’ll find the mp3 from our recent rehearsal.
 
This message is  titled 'worship is loving others'

God loves people! I think we would all agree with that statement and as worshippers we are to conduct our lives in worship of God. You could therefore say that worship is solely about you and your relationship with God. However the boundaries of worship extend much further than that as Jesus displayed when He was on the earth. Bringing truth, justice and hope to a hurting world is all part of our worship which very much involves ‘others’. Placing this within a worship team context I believe we have to look way beyond ourselves and help people connect with the power and presence of God. Through praise and worship people find strength, peace, joy, empowerment and so much more, after all God wants to give us every good thing. As members of worship ministries it’s up to us to move past our own limitations, distractions and weaknesses to create and protect those connection points so that others can get their breakthrough and push forward in God.
 
Being totally honest I’m sure we’ve all had times when due to 
whatever circumstance we didn’t want to get up and lead or play or sing (or is it just me….) but we have to overrule our soul and our body, let the Holy spirit guide us as someone’s breakthrough could be at stake.
 
I hope you enjoy this short, open and honest teaching.
 
Why not let us know what you think by leaving a comment. I would also encourage you to check out Paul Scanlon’s teaching (our senior Pastor) on ‘Others’, insightful teaching into God’s heart for people.
 
Bye for now

Wow, I never knew that other worship leaders had times when they didn't want to get up and lead and sing. I thought it happened only to me. Just reading those few open and honest lines have blessed me immensely. Its an eye opener. Praise the Lord. Thank you Jock, bless you mate.
