Today, we will explore a key way God's people stay excited about the adventure despite the changes around them. The points below apply to us personally, but I'm going to focus on how they are relevant to a group of Christians. Where do we start?

Learn to distinguish between your shadow mission and your true mission.

It is a tremendous privilege to lead a congregation in prayer. 20, 50, 200 people are listening to you intercede with God on their behalf. Who is worthy of such a responsibility? Certainly not me, and probably not you. However, leading others in prayer is a worthy activity. How do we do this in a way that honours God, and edifies the congregation?

Do you feel welcomed by being told off? How about by someone confessing their sins? I have seen both done by people doing what is sometimes called "the welcome". On neither occasion did I feel welcomed. In my opinion this is the part of our Sunday services which is least well understood in terms of its purpose. Let's put that right in this episode.

Question - What helps you to feel welcomed to an event? If we did not have a "welcome", what would our collective worship lose?

Today, we continue a series exploring why we do what we do at a Sunday gathering. So far, we have introduced the concept of ‘hosting’ to frame the role of those leading us in public worship. We examined some New Testament examples and teachings on collective worship. We also considered the aims of collective worship. Last week, we explored general guidance for leaders of worship, including context, attitude, connection, themes, overloading, and preparation.

God bless, Malcolm
