The Worship Leader

I've said it before, I'll say it again,

The worship leader is not the person behind the mic with the guitar or the person who picks out songs for the people to sing, the worship leader is the person who is constantly encouraging others to worship through the abundant pouring of their sincere words, deeds, and lifestyle.

We can all be worship leaders. My prayer is that we all will be worship leaders in due time. The best leaders raise better leaders up after them, I desire to be the best leader I can possibly be, I desire for you guys to lead better than I ever could.

As these weeks progress I'm going to taking the backseat and asking you to lead our times of worship. You can do whatever you like, it doesn't even have to involve music, your job? Lead others to a place where they can encounter the Lord. The best way to do that? By living out that lifestyle of worship yourself. By being in tune with his voice. By making the sacrifice to search him out, with all of your heart and not just some of it.

The rest comes easy.

Be prepared,

and don't be surprised if I ask you to lead in the weeks to come.
