Let Our Joys Be Known

Keith — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 15:16:03 +0000

Photo by A’lana Cutshall – Can we sing and smile at the same time? The short answer? If we are happy about what we are singing, we surely can! If this is true, then why do I have such a difficult time in motivating song leaders to smile? As song leaders “set the tone” in leading others, why do so many faces contradict the words they are singing?

“Come we that love the Lord and let our joys be known . . . “

True Worship: Experience or Encounter?

Keith — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 13:08:48 +0000

I took this photo of the sign that’s posted at the “Four Corners,” a point where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico all border. In fact, I stood in four states at the same time! The terrain around the Four Corners is breath-taking.

On Google+, I came across this article by Timothy Willard and Jason Locy, entitled, “True Worship: Experience or Encounter?” The article begins by speaking of the Four Corners and addresses a pertinent question that I believe is important. Read this article and then come back to my blog and share your reactions. http://www.churchleaders.com/worship/worship-articles/153329-whale-stars-encountering-the-magnificent.html?p=2

Should worship be experience or encounter?

Discussion Question on “Poured Out”

Keith — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:23:42 +0000

Discussion Questions:
Why are many Christians prone to object to the worship of others when it is “different” than their own, even if God is pleased?

What should our reaction be when our pure, heart-felt worship offends others?

Worship Is A Natural Reaction To Being In God’s Presence

Sermon Lesson #5:
Worship is a natural reaction to being in God’s presence.

Mary could not be contained. The people on the side of the road could not be contained or the rocks would cry out. Is our worship a check list “routine,” or is it a natural outpouring of our hearts in the presence of God?

Worship Is A Pouring Out Of The Heart

Sermon Lesson #4:
Worship is a pouring out of the heart.

Which is why worship cannot be held back!

Worship May Be Objectionable To Others

Keith — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:19:58 +0000

Sermon Lesson #3:

Worship may be objectionable to others.

People objected to those instances in John 12 and people will object today.
People who believe in the Christ will NOT be held back. In the presence of God, there will be worship!

Worship Doesn’t Always Look The Same

Keith — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:18:11 +0000

Sermon Lesson #2:
Worship doesn’t always look the same.

The two instances in John 12:1-13 look different from our common practice of worship.

Worship Can Take Place Anywhere

Keith — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:17:05 +0000

Sermon Lesson #1:
Worship can take place anywhere.

As Jesus told the woman in John 4 how worship is no longer limited to “one” place (a physical temple) or time; rather it’s a spiritual plane. Worship is a life experience.
