7 Values of Congregational Worship
7 Values of Congregational Worship
Matt Mason | WorshipGod 2017 Midwest: Human & Holy
Audio
As pastors and worship team members, we have many decisions to make each week in preparation for congregational worship. In this seminar, we'll consider some of the primary values that inform what we do when we gather: the primary themes that occupy our attention, the liturgical elements, and the heart attitudes we want to display. These seven values, though not exhaustive, have served as a core curriculum for worship team ministry at The Church at Brook Hills.

Leaders and musicians spend multiple hours, even days preparing for a Sunday morning or an event that is meant to lead people in worshiping God in song. But when the time comes, it often ends up being more a crowd watching a performance than a congregation participating in worship. How do we prepare for a worship service in a way that leads to people being engaged with God, encountering the glory of Christ, and experiencing the presence of his Spirit?…

Joseph Stigora | WorshipGod 2011: The Gathering

Gospel-Centered Everything
Gospel-Centered Everything
Jeff Purswell | WorshipGod 2015 East: Triune
Audio, PDF
Recent years have seen a spate of "gospel" books--defining the gospel, discussing the gospel, applying the gospel--which is all to the good. However, it's possible to discuss and celebrate the gospel without allowing it genuinely to shape our lives, our homes, and our ministries. How can we keep the gospel from being merely a slogan? This seminar will explore such issues and seek to equip us all to place the gospel at the centre of everything.
