Dr. Bryan McDonald, on Worship Part 1

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2455051/fan_mail/new] My friend, and former worship pastor, Dr. Bryan McDonald and I discuss what it means to be a worship pastor. He shares his journey from being called into ministry, to serving as a professor at Shorter University teaching music and worship. We also discuss many of his experiences serving at a church as a worship pastor, and his approach on everything from choosing songs, to shepherding those who are involved in music ministry. Finally, he gives some advice for churches looking for a worship pastor, or are simply trying grow their team of volunteers. Please like, subscribe, and share!

The Godfather Rule.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2455051/fan_mail/new] This lesson was good for Fredo, and it’s good for us. Don’t take sides against your own family. Whether it’s your fellow man,  or your brother in Christ, we cannot bless God and curse those around us.This is especially true for the church, where we are called to build one another up in the most holy faith. There are enough people willing to run one another down, or put folks on blast. Let’s bless those around us, and not curse them, because fresh water and salt waste cannot come from the same source.

Gnats, Camels, Spices, and Jesus…

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2455051/fan_mail/new] How can we balance mercy and Justice? A great place to look for an example is the cross. God’s justice demanded death as the penalty for our sin, but His love for us was demonstrated upon the cross while we were still sinners, as God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself! He made him who knew no sin, to be sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God. Please like, subscribe, and share!

Are You a True Worshiper?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2455051/fan_mail/new] We are called to worship in Spirit and in Truth, but many lean more one of those ways than the other. The Samaritan woman was given a master class by Jesus, that worship that pleases the Father begins with knowing Jesus. The sacrifices of the old covenant have been replaced with the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world! I make a practical distinction between a Lord’s Day worship service, and our lifestyle of worship. However, no matter what day it is, our prayers, praises, and the posture of our heart should be worshiping the Father, in the name of Jesus, by the power of the Spirit, and in Truth!
