Worship And The Art Of Remembering
Our culture is obsessed with the future, convinced that the answers to life’s biggest questions – identity, call, purpose, possibility – lie ahead of us. But what if the opposite is true? What if wholeness is found not in anticipating the next experience or achievement, but in remembering the past? In worship, we enact God’s saving deeds throughout history, bringing the past into the present. Remembering who God is and what He has done provides meaning and belonging. So lead your congregation into the transformative power of remembrance. Worship is not about novelty or relevance, but about grounding our fleeting lives in the eternal story of God’s faithfulness. The future cannot answer our deepest longings – that power resides in reconnecting with our story, with our Source who was, is and will always be.

People now experience church online first and want faster engagement. They seek transformation over information, transcendence over the mundane. Downloaded services leave them wanting more. With passion scarce, polish falls flat. Attractional churches engaging the mind but not the heart are struggling to grow. Adapt methods without altering the mission. Offer belonging, variety, and experiences that feel irreplaceable. Let authenticity and zeal for connecting people with Christ compensate for imperfect production. The church has what the world lacks – the real presence of God.

Steps like scheduling rehearsals weeks in advance, securing subs, arranging charts, emailing band notes, personal practice, and programming tracks create seamless flow. At rehearsals, start on time, address issues, offer suggestions, and keep things moving. Pre-service, review orders and transitions. During services, cue and lead the team while encouraging spiritual focus. All of this coordination serves the goal of facilitating impactful corporate worship. When everything behind the scenes is tightly orchestrated, excellence on stage lifts people’s eyes heavenward.
