Leading the People of God into the presence of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most important functions you have as pastor is leading your congregation in worship. Yet if you\u2019re like most, you\u2019ve had little training in the art of leading worship. Mastering Worship<\/em>, the fourth volume in the Mastering Ministry<\/em> series, will give you a multitude of helpful ideas for enriching your congregation\u2019s worship experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mastering Worship<\/em> begins with preparation\u2014how to design a meaningful worship experience, and, equally important, how to prepare yourself for worship. You\u2019ll learn how to lead people into the presence of God \u2026 even when you feel spiritually dry and unworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next you\u2019ll look at the service itself, with special emphasis on congregational singing, public prayer, and preaching. Guidelines are also given for incorporating classic and contemporary expressions of worship and for getting lethargic worshipers actively involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, Mastering Worship<\/em> shows you how to make those special occasions, such as Christmas, Easter, Mother\u2019s Day, meaningful times of worship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout, Mastering Worship<\/em> achieves a careful balance, reflecting the diversity of worship styles used today while focusing on the common concerns of most churches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
