What Is Worship, Why Do We Worship, How to Worship

What’s the sound of your house?

by Leave a Comment

As worship leaders, we are constantly faced with the decision of whether to conform to what the music industry tells us we should sound like or to strive to produce a sound which is unique to what is going on in the church, city, or region in which we serve.

How are you handling this in you church? Where are you getting the music you use in your services?

Are you doing all the latest and greatest from the contemporary charts? Are you using only the songs written by you or your team members? Or are you doing both?

How are you allowing the culture, demographics, or diversity of ages or racial groups to define what the “sound” of your house is?

Do you even believe their is a sound that is specific to the house you are called to serve in?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

What’s the lifespan of a worship song???

I’d like to know your thoughts on this one…

How long do you keep songs on your regular list of songs for worship in your church? Are there some songs that NEVER get taken off that list?

I know there are some songs on my list that I intentionally skip each time I go through and “clean up” my list. A few of those include songs like Israel Houghton’s “You Are Good”, Chris Tomlin’s “How Great is Our God”, and Donnie McClurkin’s “I Call You Faithful.” They just seem to be timeless to me.

What are some of the songs that have been on you list the longest? Why are they still there?

Lets talk!

What’s in a Name?

Proverbs 22 verse 1 says “A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.”

I’ve often wondered what people think when they hear my name.

What does it mean to have a “Good Name?” Does it mean everyone likes you? Does it mean you’ve always been good?

Another question that comes to mind is, if the passage states that a good name is “more desirable,” does that mean that there will be times when we will be faced with the choice between riches and a good name?

What do people think when they hear your name? Do you have a good name? What does it mean to you to have a good name?

Let’s talk… Tell me what you think!
