Recent Events in Worship
I was at a church in California, preaching and speaking at a Rally on a Sunday evening. This church has great worship! One of the elements of worship that really caught my attention was that each week in the church, they “pray through the previous week’s headlines.” They read a headline and a few key sentences about the issue and then they say “Lord in your mercy.” Then, the worship team leads one verse of a prayer-related song. Following that, they read a couple more headlines and say something like “Lord, we ask for your healing.” Then there is another verse of the song. This goes on for about 5 minutes. Wow! Do you think that helps Christianity appear relevant to the world we live in? It was a great experience!
