The Back Seat Approach

This past weekend we had the opportunity to lead a worship workshop at Bedford Community Church in Temperance MI. We had a great time with Pastor's Rick and Nate and the BCC Worship Team. Normally we lead with the team on Sunday Morning but this time we just observed. Different, but amazing. Normally we lead and see people from the front and have to look at them, over them or close our eyes. Today we observed from behind just watching people worship. Now there is something I envy of the soundman. The opportunity to watch worship happen. To see as people rejoice and cry out to God. The expression from a side view. I'd encourage worship leaders to take the opportunity to watch the people they lead. It is amazing to see where your sheep are at, especially if you think they're not with you.

Another amazing thing was the love offering. We have stepped out into the "Unseen", as Pastor Nate preached about. We don't know what lies ahead, but we start our step and let God plant our foot where He chooses. We stepped out and said "yes" to a Missions trip to the Philippines. Very slowly has the money come in... but it is coming in. Every day I am more and more amazed at my lack of faith and God amazing faithfulness. He provides. His timing, His plan, His way... it just works best.

Thanks BCC for a great weekend, another lesson in faith and an encouraging time of worship!
