The Complete Worship Leader

I mentioned in a previous post that I wanted to put up some thoughts from several of the books on worship that I have been re-reading.  These quotes come from The Complete Worship Leader by Kevin J. Navarro.

"Dead hearts cannot produce dynamic worship, but hearts that are passionate about Jesus will make any worship experience exciting." (p. 53)

"If our personal experience of salvation motivates us as worship leaders to praise God, this will be contagious to the congregation." (p. 59)

"When the body of Christ comes together before the throne with humility, all authority will be released on the church to experience the manifest presence of God. When we realize that worship is first and foremost for God, we will relinquish the temptation to design the worship service for us." (p.135)

It is important to remember that we are all worship leaders.  From the moment that we contact people in the parking lot as they drive up we are leading them in worship.   Every contact, every smile, every action is important in creating an atmosphere of worship for REVEAL.  Remember it's not about us, it's about God.
