Where to start?

"May the God of peace . . . equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever."

• If you are "God called" to lead worship, you already have a good start. Start by praying and asking God how you can use your gifts to glorify Him even more.

• Look for areas in your life and ministry where God is "equipping" you. We will continuously grow as new experiences and situations are put in our path. Treat them as an education and wisdom from God Himself. Put your knowledge to use!

• Surrender to that tug in your heart, to do what is pleasing to Him. Often times it can be a challenge, but it is your "duty" to move forward when you feel God calling.

• Give God ALL the glory (for ever and ever). It is easy, as a worship leader or member of the worship team, to become caught up in the encouragement others give as you showcase your calling before them and God in hopes of leading them into God's presence. Just make sure you (as their leader) point them toward the cross and not yourself.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and God Bless!
