Youth Led Worship

Posted March 8th, 2009 by graham

Tonight, the young people at KMC led our worship, on the theme "Worship". With new and old (nearly 13 years old!) songs, video, drama and discussion, they really led us in worship!

As a worship leader, I, of course, had to make lots of notes to get pointers on what I should be doing... But Alistair's talk on the women with the alabaster jar was inspirational, straightforward and challenging.

Lent Books - reviews by Rev Paul Wilson
Recently, I have read three books which I have found really helpful to my Christian faith and development.

Two of these books, "Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire" and "Fresh Faith", both written by Jim Cymbala, are drawn from his experiences of Pastoring The Brooklyn Tabernacle in New York. Over the last 25 years this church has developed from a small congregation to a church of 6,000, with daughter churches in other inner city areas of New York and major cities in the USA.

"Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire" explores the importance of corporate prayer in the life of the church. Jim Cymbala expresses his thirst for God in ways which make this book a "page turner" and a "heart searcher". One quote which, stopped me in my tracks is:

"You can tell how popular a church is by who comes on Sunday morning;
you can tell how popular the pastor or evangelist is by who comes on Sunday night;but you can tell how popular Jesus is by who comes to the prayer meeting."

The book is testimony to how God answered the prayers of the people, and includes striking personal testimony and reports of new ministries developing in the area. If you want a report of how God transforms inner cities this is it! A moving moment in the book is a reference to the Twin Towers overlooking the area. An up-to-date testimony of the church is that, on the night of September 10th/11th, Jim Cymbala was woken up by God and told to pray for the harvest. His prayer-vigil was broken by the planes hitting the twin towers. The following night the church was open and 250 people received Christ. The church continues to minister to a traumatised people.

"Fresh Faith" explores the issue of faith and guidance. The challenge is to seek God for every decision in our lives. The book traces this through clear biblical teaching and examples from the life of the church. As I write, it is the evening of church council. I recognise that, at this important time in the life of our church in Knutsford, we need to seek God over "Building the Church of the Future". We need to have the faith that God will guide us as promised in Proverbs 3:6.

A Christmas gift introduced me to my third book here, "How you can be led by the Spirit of God" by Kenneth Hagin. It is essentially a teaching, which covers such issues as Holiness and Healing. This book can radically alter your devotional life. The author encourages us to be those who meditate, practice and give the Bible first place in our lives so that we may be trained in righteousness.

These books have given me a deep hunger for God. May we continually and truly seek God's will for our lives. The promise of Jesus is "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled" (Matthew 5: v6).
