As I’ve been on the road having conversations with pastors, worship leaders & techies who are all trying to figure out how creativity works in worship, I have had a growing burden to gain a clearer understanding of what true, biblical worship is. I have much to learn and more scripture to dig into than i can comprehend. Here are some of the main things that have stuck with me, and here are some questions I’m asking myself in hopes of finding the answer to “What is Visual Worship?”.

Welcome to the 108th consecutive week of “Sunday Setlists”. The purpose of “Sunday Setlists” is to share a recap of your worship services. What songs did you use, what arrangements? What worked really well and what didn’t work as well as you’d like? What issues did you have preparing? What is the sermon series? How about creative elements used in the service? You don’t have to be the pastor or worship leader to participate. We would really love to get reviews from the perspective of those in our congregations each week.

How Much Diversity Should We Use in Song Selection for Worship?
August 13, 2010 By 6 Comments
I think this is a great question that can be applied to ANY size church. Rick’s answer is solid and he really gives some good advice about SERVING God and the people through our song selection.

Karen Thornton serving in Dundas, Ontario asks:
QUESTION:Diversity In Musical Style?
“Do you think it’s wise in a “small” church to have such a diversity in musical style like you do at Saddleback or should the Worship teams try to be aligned and consistent in the same style?”

August 11, 2010 By 7 Comments
There is no way around it – projector lamps are expensive. At $150 to $600 or more per lamp, it is important to get as much use out of them as possible. This is especially true for churches with multiple projectors. Here’s a couple ways to make your lamps last longer:

Review: Kathryn Scott – We Still Believe + Free Chord Charts
August 9, 2010 By 4 Comments
We Still Believe: Live Worship from Kathryn Scott is available tomorrow, August 10, 2010. Free chord charts and We Still Believe EPK video below.
Thanks to Kim Castro for providing this review:
Kathryn Scott’s new solo album “We Still Believe” is her third offering after “Satisfy” in 2003 and “I Belong” in 2007. I was excited to have the opportunity to review this album because “Hungry”, the worship song she penned in 1999, is one of my all time favorites-one we still use in our worship sets today.

Aaron Keyes Interview part 1: “Not Guilty Anymore”
August 4, 2010 By 13 Comments
In preparation for the international re-release of Aaron Keyes‘ last CD, NOT GUILTY ANYMORE, Kingsway Records had contacted TWC to request an interview. Knowing that I’d occasionally led worship at Aaron’s church in his absence, Fred McKinnon – founder of TWC – suggested that I take this on. Well, as it just so happened, this Aaron came into town to lead worship for SuperWow over on Jekyll Island, which is practically next door to me, so I snagged the opportunity, and what an interview it was! I got so much great content that I’m splitting it into multiple videos to release over the next few weeks.
