Experiencing God in Worship: Perspectives on the Future of Worship in the Church from Today's Most Prominent Leaders
Experience God in Worship.In the heart of every pastor and worship leader is the desire to see people draw close to God...to truly experience his presence in their lives. Not surprisingly, that's why many people come to church, too. They want to come together with other Christians to learn more about God and experience his reality. It is no wonder, then, that worship is such an important part of every church service.Even though worship is so important, it is often a struggle to keep it from becoming routine. For many in the church, there is no deep experience involved (or expected) and consequently, there is no life-change. The big question is this: How can our church services better facilitate meaningful and life-changing experiences with God? It is a question that pastors and worship leaders struggle with every week. A question that transcends denominations and traditions-impacting not only the present but also challenging our churches as we enter the next millennium.This book brings together perspectives on the future of worship from some of the most respected worship leaders, pastors, and influences in the church. By exploring this broad range of worship styles, pastors and worship leaders will discover fresh and innovative approaches. They will find ideas that will inspire and motivate them. The worship models may be from different traditions, but they deliver insights that will help you achieve your ultimate goal of people experiencing God in worship.
