In Chapter six of Worship Matters, Kauflin talks about how Worship leading began. He makes a point to list the evolution of singing in church, ranging from choirs, to circle singing in ancient times. Not all of these methods were the most affective, so when modern worship leading came into affect around the 70's, it changed the game. He also notes that worship leading doesn't half to be singing, it can be art, dance, praise, preaching, or even encoraugment. 



I completely agree with the things Bob Kauflin says. Worship leading doesn't have to be music. You can lead worship by doing many things. A modern worship leaders main requirement is is to be spirit lea, but what you do with you're calling is up to you. Dancing, art, preaching, and praying over people are just as valid as singing a song to your congregation. I think that worship leading as we know it today is inspiring because of how diverse it it.

You can use stories from your life, other peoples experiences, or even other quotes/books written by respectable people to aid in a sermon or conversation. You alpo have to keep your sermon rooted in the bible. Starting to far away form the original text can confuse and ...
