What’s More Important?

June 13, 2012 by Joey Hughes 6 Comments

Alright, here’s a question for you: What is the most important aspect of Worship in churches?

I hear a lot of “buzz words” like excellence, relevance, and so on in reference to how we “do worship” in our churches. I think it is good for us to work hard to produce a spirit of excellence in what we do. I also think there is some value to whether or not people can relate to what we are doing. You wouldn’t want to go into a church that is made up of mostly upper class white people in their 50s and 60s and try to get them to worship to grunge rock worship music (extreme example; I know, but you get the idea).

There are so many different things we can become focused on in building teams, working with musicians, developing leaders, and leading worship in services that I’m afraid we often miss the things that are most important.

So, here’s the task: if I were to ask you as a worship leader, a worship team member, or a church member; what is the most important piece of the “church worship” puzzle? What would your answer be?

I would like to take your answers and compile them in a list so please let me know whether you are a worship leader, a worship team member, or a church member when you leave you comments.

I will post the final results later. Thanks for your help.

Ready… GO!

My wife gave me this for Christmas. I have it in my office to remind me of how much she means to me.

Can you think of more phrases to add to this list?

I’d like to hear them. Please share them in the comments section.

Here’s Your Sign

June 29, 2011 by Joey Hughes 3 Comments

So, I’m getting ready to cook dinner tonight. I’ve got some ground turkey defrosting, a pan on the stove for some turkey burgers, a pot of oil heating up and a mound of cut potatoes on the cutting board for some home fries.

Josh comes in from playing bball and I ask him if he wants a burger. He replies “sure! Sounds good.”

A few minutes later, he comes back into the kitchen… Looks at the potatoes and the oil and says “You makin fries, too?” I say “Nah, just cut those up to work on my knife skills… Here’s your sign!”

Have you had a moment when you said something that as soon as you said it you knew it was going to embarrass you?

Feel free to share!
