[@onecoastmanartworkstimkenn46]

I'm going to be the new song leader at my church. We lost our song leader and his family a few services back and our pastor was praying that the Lord would send us a new person to do this so he just has to concentrate on his sermons and not leading songs also. The other night I was up late studying and putting together a Wednesday night bible study message for the church and the Lord started pressing down on my heart to stand up and volunteer for the position. Singinsts g the hymns and lifting my voice up to glorify the Lord is one of my favorite parts of the church service. So I asked and prayed and have been given the go ahead to fill the empty spot. Please pray for me as I embark on this new ministry of the Lord. Less of me and More of Him! Im just a willing vessel.

[@Lili-tu7xb]

Hey hows it going? Press forward press on 🤙😎

[@joshaukaizer377]

God will take control

[@rtholman83]

🙏🏽you’ll do well

[@eugenejoseph7076]

I'll pray for you because I'm in a very similar situation. Its a small church and growing by God's grace and the young pastor works full time at another job, and preaches and leads worship and prayer meetings!! He knows he can't do it all, so he's asked me if I could help out with worship. I've done it 25 years ago and now I'm having to learn new songs and a lot about leading. However, the most important lesson for me has been praying for guidance and practice, practice, practice! The Lord gave me this ability (gift) to play guitar well, but I always remember where my ability to play comes from and I love Him for using it to lead others to Worship Him. When worship is done well, with humility, then the leader is actually the one following the sheep as they worship their shepherd! What a privilege to be the one who gets the most out of the Worship!! Keep the faith brother.

[@iralora7246]

I usually asked like "How are you today?" and they replied "Beyond great!" so I said "Hallelujah. That's all because God is good right? Some people who maybe feel not great these days, feel tired or failed, I just want to say that God is always good, and today I want you to feel it. The greatest time of your life, when you let God come in your heart. So let us prepare our heart and mind to focus, only on him." I think something like that.

[@jennyrosii6573]

I loved this🤎

[@winterhavenbernesemountain3502]

I usually say “GOOD EVENING REALJOY YOUTH! We have an awesome service planned for you tonight. We are going to kick things off with Praising and Worshipping our Jesus, but before we do that, I’m going to open us up in prayer! Father, in Jesus Name…”

[@bbydrgn]

Whatever message you give, be intentional and true. People would rather hear a short or slightly jumbled but passionate greeting rather than a poetic welcome without any passion or emotion behind it.

[@joyjoy1969]

Hallelujah, happy Sunday Brothers, Sisters. God is good and we are here today to glorify our maker, our provider, our protector. Let us praise The Lord.

[@lindaadu7110]

Nice 😘❤️, In my church we start with Bible studies and opening prayer before we start with the worship, please do I still need to greet the church again

[@lemonyann]

Starts with always instructing myself and people to open our hearts

[@LeadingWorshipWell]

Keep leading well!

[@johannestsoi5441]

You are so right my Sunday morning vs. the average person's morning. The past years I have been serving in worship team and my mom is a staff member, so we both get to church 1-2 hours earlier than everyone. In our church the starting time is 9:30 and we're used to seeing people come in during the first song

[@kward1966]

I usually say "Praise the Lord everyone! Praise the Lord everyone! Stand with me in the presence of our almighty God and let's join in worship!"

[@maongrenmsong6862]

[@rayomide5642]

Thank you very much ch for sharing this beautiful tip.I’m not a worship leader but sometimes I’ve been call to welcome the congregation and to lead hymn which first all is to welcome the trinity before we proceed.🙏🙏👍👍

[@marywarf8946]

I'm glad and thankful there is video like this. I believe God does want us to prepare ourselves for worship, especially, if you are a worship leader. Sometimes, I have done the silent thing, but in my heart, I feel like that's not my best I can do for God. I have noticed that if I am more prepared to talk, then I am more confident to do so. I absolutely believe the Holy Spirit should be speaking through you, too, and preparing ahead of time helps you bring out the message of the Holy Spirit even more. A pastor, usually, prepares for the message, and I believe God is pleased with this preparation. Without practice, a musician would not be able to perform their best. God wants the best for us and from us. He unconditionally loves us no matter what we do. When we follow Jesus the best we know how and grow deeper in our relationship with our Heavenly Father, our lives become more and more blessed with the Holy Spirit and amazing Joy of the Lord! I think that is something worth practicing.💛

[@jhenmercz5710]

Amen 🙏

[@Megrelkitchen]

Hallelujah,let's be on our feet as we worship The King of Kings and the lord of Lords. The Bible says in the present of God there's fullness of Joy.
