Humility

If there is one thing that I would have too point out that God has showed me the absolute most this last year it's that humility is key too leading worship.

So many worship leaders and see themselves as musicians who are using their gifts of music too glorify God. But in reality we are created as worshipers who have gifts given too us in order too worship. We cant look at the gifts God gifts as merely something we can use too glorify God. But we need to realize that the gifts God gave us are for the sole purpose of worshiping, and then leading people into the presence of God.

Another thing that I have struggled with so much in the short time that I have lead worship is the mindset that I am better than everyone else because I'm up on that stage leading them into worship. But that is so wrong. I am a sinner just like everyone else in that room, and I have been saved by the same Grace. Because of my sin I am not qualified too even worship the Lord, but because of Grace I can not only worship our Lord. But through the Holy Spirit I can literally kneel at his thrown and bask in His Glory.

So knowing this Grace how can I possibly think of myself better than anyone else. Instead, before every worship set I remind myself of that Grace putting me in a place of complete surrender too what God wants too do. This fresh mindset of humility has impacted my worship dramatically and i believe will continue too change and develop how I worship.

Introduction

Hi. My name is Chase and I'm an aspiring worship leader living in Bend Oregon. Basically I feel like I have the music part going pretty good for me in learning worship, but what God has been showing me lately is that the heart of a worshiper is always developing and changing. At least it should be if you want worship to continue to be effective in leading people into the presence of God.

So basically this blog is for me too write about things that God has been changing in my heart in regards too worship. It's mostly for me too be able too get my thoughts down somewhere on paper, but if someone reads it and is convicted or learns something from this blog then that is awesome.
