Repentance is “returning to who we were made to be” The space to (1) ask God to show us how we’ve wandered from who He’s made us to be, and (2) to turn and come home.

question one: what would a worship journey look like in your community?

accompanists.

The community is the choir, the band is the accompaniment, the WL is the choir director, and the audience is God.

-sets the foundation of rhythm and harmony to leap from -easy to follow -great at following -knows when to assert themselves and when to get out of the way -is not “enough” on it’s own to qualify as a performance (not a quality issue, it’s a role issue).

If the sound of your rehearsal sounds complete without the community singing, it might not be very good accompaniment.

question two: Would your community say that you accompany their singing well?

creativity.

The great moments only come at the risk of the greatest train wrecks.

(1) Experiential Creativity.

(2) Musical Creativity.

(3) Songwriting Creativity.

question three: What aspect of your worship experience could use a fresh breath of creativity?

theologian.

“God, we invite you here today”.

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. Psalms 139:7-10

...God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20

God is here.

“My starting point is that we’re already there. We cannot attain the presence of God because we’re already totally in the presence of God. What’s absent is awareness. Little do we realize that God is maintaining us in existence with every breath we take. As we take another it means that God is choosing us now and now and now.” Everything Belongs, Richard Rohr

question four: How does your language reflect what you actually believe is true?

action.

Romans 12:1

Amos 5:21-24 "I hate, I despise your religious feasts; I cannot stand your assemblies. Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them.

Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them. Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. But let justice roll on like a river, Righteousness like a never- failing stream!”

“The test of worship is how far it makes us more sensitive to “the Beyond in our midst”, to the Christ in the hungry, naked, homeless, and the prisoner. Only if we are more likely to recognize Him there after attending an act of worship is that worship Christian rather than a piece of religiosity in Christian dress.” John Robinson, Honest to God

question six: How does the worship experience launch your community into joining God’s Movement?
