Posted in Audio, How We Worship, Where We Worship, Who We Worship, Why We Worship, Worship Confessional, tagged , , , on October 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

For some reason, this kept churning over on the inside of me; the more I thought about it, the more I began to think that God’s plan, His heart, His desire has always been for relationship.  Not only that, but the characteristics, the hallmarks, the very essence of the relationship we’ve been called into with [...]

Posted in How We Worship, Where We Worship, tagged , on September 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

It’s been a very interesting few weeks.  Things have been quite busy lately and I’ve not managed to post. I must admit to getting withdrawal symptoms.

Discussion: What Makes a Successful Worship Service?

Posted in How We Worship, Where We Worship, Why We Worship, tagged , , , on July 20, 2009 | 7 Comments »

Writing a Sunday Set List post has got me thinking about the criteria I use for gauging the “success” (or not) of a particular worship service.  Of course, any evaluation is going to be subjective; but, why is it that on one occassion, I can say, “That was good, we met with God today” and [...]

Reality & Truth

Posted in How We Worship, Who We Worship, tagged , , on July 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Being “real” has always been a desire in my life.  What I mean by that is having integrity in the sense of being open and honest; not pretending or putting up a front, or wearing a mask.  I love the innocence of youth; the beauty of being unashamed and unafraid to say what you think [...]

I’m currently reading through an amazing  book by Wayne Jacobsen & Clay Jacobsen called Authentic Relationships.  At the start of the book, they quote the following which is taken from a sign on the wall of Shishu Bhavan, a children’s home in Calcutta.  It really inspired me.  I hope it does you.

God’s On Digital

Posted in How We Worship, Who We Worship, tagged , , on September 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

During a prayer meeting in Stevenage this week, one of the Pastors brought a prophetic word about us “going digital”.  The point being made was about us being able to instantly receive God’s broadcast signal (hear fom God) with clarity, as opposed  to spending a while trying to “tune in” and then filter out the [...]
