Worship Matters

Do we spend our day mostly thinking about ourselves or do we have a lifestyle of talking with Jesus, acknowledging God’s presence, and worshiping Him? It’s so easy to get caught up with what we’re doing and not keep our eyes on Christ. The high school worship team is going through the book Worship Matters by Bob Kauflin in which he covers many relevant issues on worship. It’s been a great read and the students are loving it. On the Heartfelt Music website, under the category of Worship Matters book, I summarize the book in four parts. I’ll spend the next four eNewsletters looking at each section. In part one, I like how Bob describes many of the little things that consume us as leaders:  what others think of us, attitudes, musicians not showing up, and even technical things going wrong.  However, the most important thing is giving worth to God.  Worship matters to God because He is the one ultimately worthy of all worship.  It matters to us because we are created to worship God.  It also matters to leaders because it is one of the greatest privileges to lead others to encounter the greatness of God. Consider these four important aspects of leaders:

• Your heart:  What do you love?
• Your mind:  What do you believe?
• Your hands:  What do you practice?
• Your life:  What do you model?
