In Chapter 11 of Worship Matters, Bob Kauflin writes about the importance of combining word and music in worship. He says that many people are under the impression that the sermon is not worship. He stresses that you can worship in many ways, including speaking or reading the word. It’s important to remember that the word of God should inspire the music that we use to praise him. The different structures of worship are mearly to appeal to different types of people.



I think that worship can be anything. Whether your called to do dance, music, spoken word, or just generally being a good person. All of these things can’t be worship, Praising God isn’t about singing, it’s about showing the Lord through your actions. By living a good christian life, people can witness God’s goodness and grace. I also think that the music you play to praise God doesn’t have to be a specific kind. You can praise with any genre of music, whether it be gospel, country, hip hop, rap, or even heavy metal. Any of these can be used to connect with people about Jesus.

It was very free form and they would play pretty much whatever the congregation started singing. Being flexible and being able to go without the flow of a congregation is very important. Knowing that things might not go as planned is important for a good set. He also talks about being rooted and relevant. He tells of a time when he used only scripture when trying to share the word of God. While rooting everything you do in the bible is important, being able to relate the stories from thousands of years ago to today is key. 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 ...
