A few weeks ago the Manthanos//Kairos (XICF student ministry) led the singing at XICF's Sunday morning gathering (xicf.org). We had a great time!
In this episode I share some of my exhortation to those young song-leaders. I hope it will encourage you, regardless of your involvement (or lack of involvement) in singing at church meetings! ;)
There is no price too high to pay to have a moment of giving God all of our attention and basking in His goodness. "Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!" (Ps. 100:2) Music is supremely useful for this purpose: it can help focus our souls on the majesty of God. Music can make us aware of God's nearness, His majesty, His gloriousness. It is one of the finest gifts of God to humanity.
Leading others in times of singing to God is an incredible honor. Though I am still learning how to steward those moments, I know that an easy mistake is to miss enjoying God in the moment myself. Learning how to facilitate those moments and be in the moment ourselves is "the heart and the art" of leading music in the church.
