Hey Church!
This week’s prepare-for-worship exercise is to watch all four of the videos below. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of it:
- Remove distractions, settle your heart and mind, and then give the videos your undivided attention.
- Use headphones, earbuds, or quality speakers and turn up the volume to replicate the “live” experience.
- Watch the way people express their worship. What impact does their outward appearance have on you? Can you authentically bring that same kind of outward worship to church with you this Sunday?
- Skip ads! Or at least mute them so they don’t take you out of the moment.
- Watch them in order. As soon as one song video ends, start the next one right away.
- Give yourself permission to raise your hands, kneel, cry, shout, sing, or whatever else may naturally bubble up as the Spirit stirs your soul through the music.
When you’ve finished the fourth video, I hope that you will be absolutely PUMPED to come to church this Sunday to sing those songs together. Whatever level of energy, excitement, or engagement you observe in the worshipers on the screen, let them be a model for you in how every worship service ought to move you. Your outward engagement with the Lord will inspire others to worship more fervently, just like the people in the videos inspired you.
Have a great weekend!
