Book excerpt: Are you directing worship songs--or leading true, reverential worship? While talented professionals have changed the landscape of worship music forever, in many smaller churches and ethnic congregations, volunteers or pastors with limited musical training try to maximize the talents and accommodate the inexperience of their own worship teams. In Reverence and Awe is a comprehensive guide to the challenges and opportunities of worship leadership with a special focus on small-church settings. Pastor Enoch Liao (enochliao.com), raised in LA and educated at UCLA, preaches and teaches at Boston Chinese Evangelical Church. Inspired by his service in both preaching and worship positions, Pastor Enoch writes regularly on leadership, life, and ministry, especially regarding Chinese American and Asian American contexts. From his many years of experience, Pastor Enoch shares insights that will help any worship leader lead with God-honoring excellence, including how to: Effectively plan, prepare, and rehearse a weekly order of worship--including songs, sets, movements, and transitions Train worship leaders who lack musical skill and disciple musicians who lack spiritual leadership Unite as a team with the lead pastor, vocalists, A/V techs, instrumentalists, and a diverse congregation Capably manage other aspects of worship, such as prayer, Scripture reading, and technical issues Understand and serve your specific congregation's needs based on their heritage, geographical location, and cultural identity Each chapter concludes with application-focused questions to prepare your heart, self-evaluate your ministry, and begin a course of definitive progress in your church's corporate worship of our awesome God! Are you ready to start leading, true reverential worship? Whether you're a lay volunteer suddenly asked to "lead the singing," or a trained but frustrated worship leader in a small church resistant to change, In Reverence and Awe: The Practice of Leading Worship with Excellence offers invaluable perspective, wisdom, and hands-on support that will encourage, inspire, and better prepare you to lead your church in honoring God through worship.

Download or read book Reverence written by Paul Woodruff and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2014 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reverence is an ancient virtue that survives among us in half-forgotten patterns of civility and moments of inarticulate awe. Reverence gives meaning to much that we do, yet the word has almost passed out of our vocabulary. Reverence, says philosopher and classicist Paul Woodruff, begins in an understanding of human limitations. From this grows the capacity to be in awe of whatever we believe lies outside our control -- God, truth, justice, nature, even death. It is a quality of character that is especially important in leadership and in teaching, although it figures in virtually every human relationship. It transcends religious boundaries and can be found outside religion altogether. Woodruff draws on thinking about this lost virtue in ancient Greek and Chinese traditions and applies lessons from these highly reverent cultures to today's world. The book covers reverence in a variety of contexts -- the arts, leadership, teaching, warfare, and the home -- and shows how essential a quality it is to a well-functioning society. First published by Oxford University Press in 2001, this new edition of Reverence is revised and expanded. It contains a foreword by Betty Sue Flowers, Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus at the University of Texas at Austin, a new preface, two new chapters -- one on the sacred and one on compassion -- and an epilogue focused on renewing reverence in our own lives.

Download or read book Radical written by David Platt and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Download or read book Called to Worship written by Vernon Whaley and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is worship? Biblically-speaking, worship might mean a lot of things: a celebration of God and his glory, a display of reverence and awe, an act of humility or prostration before our Creator. But what does this look like today? And do churches of today—of any tradition or denomination—really worship in a way that's biblical? Called to Worship is a deep dive into what worship means in the Bible. Vernon Whaley—Dean of the school of music at Liberty University—investigates each individual book of Scripture to uncover the tapestry of instruction and insight into God's idea of worship. With this book, you'll learn: How to see through the comfort zones of the modern church's worship rituals and routines. The biblical principles of worship and why understanding these principles is essential in our discipleship and important to our creator. How the life of Christ serves as a living guide to worship throughout the entire Bible and the history of Christianity. The Bible describes a rich history of Yahweh worship—offered first by the hosts of heaven in eternity past, and then by mankind, from Creation to present day. This book is a call to understand and participate in that richness.
