​Hands of the Artist
We all have gifts to give to God. Some of us are gifted with music, while others are gifted with words, or with numbers, or with helping others. No matter what our gifts are, they are all valuable to God.
When we offer our gifts to God, we are saying, "I trust you with my life. I know that you have a plan for me, and I am willing to follow it." We are also saying, "I want to use my gifts to serve you and to bring glory to your name."
It is important to remember that our gifts are not our own. They are a gift from God, and we are called to use them for His glory. We should not compare our gifts to the gifts of others. Every gift is unique and valuable, and God has given us each a different gift for a reason.
If we are struggling to know what our gifts are, we can ask God to reveal them to us. He will show us how we can use our gifts to serve Him and to bring glory to His name.
When we offer our gifts to God, we are joining with Him in His work of creation and redemption. We are becoming part of something bigger than ourselves, and we are making a difference in the world.
So what are your gifts? How are you using them to serve God? If you're not sure, ask Him to reveal them to you. And then, use them with all your heart to bring glory to His name.
Here are some practical ways to offer your gifts to God:
  • Use your gifts to serve others. Look for opportunities to use your gifts to help others in need. This could mean volunteering your time, donating money, or simply being a listening ear.
  • Use your gifts to share the gospel. Share your faith with others through your words and your actions. Let your gifts be a witness to the love of God.
  • Use your gifts to worship God. Use your gifts to express your love and adoration for God. This could mean singing, praying, or simply spending time in His presence.
When we offer our gifts to God, we are bringing glory to His name. We are also making a difference in the world. So don't be afraid to use your gifts. Offer them to God, and let Him use them for His glory

Voice of Discipleship... 3rd Magnet

​Voice of Discipleship
Music is a powerful tool that can be used for good or evil. It can be used to inspire and uplift, or it can be used to manipulate and control. In the church, we believe that music can be used as a tool for discipleship.
Discipleship is the process of learning and growing in our relationship with Jesus Christ. It is a lifelong journey that involves following His teachings, obeying His commands, and living a life that is pleasing to Him.
Music can be a powerful tool in the discipleship process. It can help us to learn about God's Word, to remember His promises, and to apply His teachings to our lives. It can also help us to connect with other believers and to build a strong community of faith.
When we sing songs about God's love, His faithfulness, and His salvation, we are reminded of His great promises. When we sing songs about His character, we are challenged to reflect His love and compassion to others. And when we sing songs about His call on our lives, we are encouraged to live a life that is pleasing to Him.

Here are some practical ways that we can use music as a tool for discipleship:
  • Sing songs that are true to God's Word. When we sing songs that are based on Scripture, we are helping to memorize God's Word and to apply it to our lives.
  • Sing songs that reflect God's character. When we sing songs about God's love, His faithfulness, and His salvation, we are reminded of His great promises.
  • Sing songs that challenge us to live a life that is pleasing to God. When we sing songs about God's call on our lives, we are encouraged to live a life that is surrendered to Him.
  • Sing songs with other believers. When we sing with other believers, we are building a strong community of faith that is committed to following Jesus Christ.

Heart of Worship   2nd Magnet

Heart of Worship: Living a Lifestyle of Worship
Worship is a lifestyle. It is not just something we do on Sunday mornings or when we are at a church service. Worship is a way of life that should permeate every aspect of our lives.
When we worship, we are acknowledging God's greatness and His sovereignty. We are declaring that He is worthy of our praise and our adoration. We are submitting ourselves to His will and His plans for our lives.
Worship is not just about singing songs or raising our hands in praise. It is about a heart that is fully surrendered to God. It is about a life that is lived in obedience to His Word.
When we live a lifestyle of worship, we are transformed into the image of Christ. We become more like Him in our thoughts, our words, and our actions. We become more loving, more forgiving, and more compassionate.
Worship is a powerful thing. It has the ability to change our lives and to change the world around us. If we want to see a revival in our churches and in our communities, we need to start by living a lifestyle of worship.
Here are some practical ways to live a lifestyle of worship:
  • Spend time in prayer and Bible study. This is where we will grow in our relationship with God and learn more about Him.
  • Sing songs of praise and worship. This is a great way to express our love and adoration for God.
  • Read books and articles about worship. This will help us to understand what worship is all about and how we can live a more worshipful life.
  • Attend worship services at your local church. This is a great way to be surrounded by other believers who are also worshiping God.
  • Worship God in your everyday life. This means living a life that is pleasing to Him and that reflects His love to others.
Worship is a journey, not a destination. It is something that we will continue to grow in throughout our lives. But if we start by living a lifestyle of worship, we will be on our way to a deeper and more meaningful relationship with God.

Mind of Christ.  First Magnet

The Mind of Christ
Worship leaders and musicians in the church need to be spiritual before musical. They need to strive to immerse themselves in spiritual disciplines to grow closer to Christ.

​This means spending time in prayer and Bible study, reading books and articles about worship, and attending worship services at their local church. It also means living a life that is pleasing to God and that reflects His love to others.
When worship leaders and musicians are spiritually mature, they are better able to lead others in worship. They are also better able to discern God's will for their lives and for the church.
Here are some practical ways for worship leaders and musicians to grow spiritually:
  • Spend time in prayer and Bible study. This is the foundation of a strong spiritual life. When we spend time in prayer, we are talking to God and getting to know Him better. When we spend time in Bible study, we are learning about God's Word and how it applies to our lives.
  • Read books and articles about worship. There are many great resources available that can help us to understand worship and to grow in our worship of God.
  • Attend worship services at your local church. This is a great way to be surrounded by other believers who are also worshiping God. It is also a great way to learn new songs and to be inspired by the worship leader and musicians.
  • Live a life that is pleasing to God. This means obeying His commandments and living in a way that honors Him. It also means loving others and serving them in His name.
  • Discern God's will for your life and for the church. This is an ongoing process, but it is important to seek God's guidance in all that we do. We can do this through prayer, Bible study, and talking to other Christians who we trust.
When we strive to grow spiritually, we are becoming more like Christ. We are also becoming more effective in our worship and in our ministry to others.
