Music evokes emotion.

Could be good, could be bad. It can bring up memories of all sorts of things. Maybe its an old song that reminds you of your glory days, maybe its a song that reminds you of a girl or guy, heartache, love or a God moment.  I dont know about you but I love music.

My wife and I had the chance to go see Mumford & Sons (one of my favorites) in concert at the Iconic forest Hills Stadium in Queens. Dang….First there was 17,500 people and It was way over packed. Yea I saw drunk people and there were plenty of weed smokers but I also saw people worshiping. I know what your probably thinking and no they werent worshiping the devil. They were letting go and singing at the top of their lungs. They were jumping with their hands raised just all out letting go! It doesn’t matter if its Mumford or a guy on a home made drum set on the street, music evokes emotion.

Something to realize—-

Worship leaders you have the chance to set the atmosphere for an entire service. How you’ve prayed, practiced, prepared and planned will show up on Sunday. You have a short time slot in someones life each week and we as worshipers should make the best of it and never take it lightly.

What would you do differently if you knew that all you had was one chance to impact someones life on a Sunday Service? What would you add, what would you not do?
