Facing the Wall Sermon

One of the books on worship (aside from scripture) that has had the most impact on me as a worship leader has been “Facing the Wall” by Don Potter.  Below is a link to the the message I shared this past Sunday at church on the subject of worship entitled “Facing the Wall”.

Why do we worship? What should it look, sound, and feel like? What are the results of worship?

The Beginning and End of Worship

Here’s a great quote from the book “Worship Matters” by Bob Kauflin that I’m reading.

“Magnifying God’s greatness begins with the proclamation of objective, biblical truths about God, but it ends with the expression of deep holy affections towards God.  We aren’t simply reciting facts about God, like students reviewing their multiplication tables.  God wants us to delight in him (Psalm 37:4).  He is exalted when all our energies are directed to one end – being satisfied in who he is. “The engagement of the heart in worship is the coming alive of the feelings and emotions and affections of the heart,” John Piper writes. “Where feelings for God are dead, worship is dead.”

This Christmas Day

We’re putting on a fantastic worship experience for Christmas at church this year called “This Christmas Day”.  Be praying for us as we are believing for God to move mightily in the hearts of those that come!
