Worship leader Rob Still offers ideas for richer worship.
My experience is that planning worship is a mixture of practicing theology, musical artistry, and understanding human dynamics.
I’d like to add these morsels to the buffet of ideas. Bon appetite!
1) Express
Our worship must proclaim theological truth. We tell the truth of who God is and what he has done for us. That’s the vertical dimension of expression; God to man, and man to God.
But let’s not just stay there in the head, in the realm of the intellect. Let’s encourage people to connect deeply with their hearts.
Let’s rejoice in how God feels about us! God’s love and delight for his children is passionate and ever faithful.
Specifically, yes, sing songs with wonderful theology like “In Christ Alone” and “How Great Is Our God”. But let’s also include some desert to go with the meat and vegetables, songs like “Your Love Never Fails” and “How He Loves”.
A good worship diet is not only theologically solid, it is personal. Worship expresses emotion.
