Your definition of excellence in worship is wrong. (Video)
We hear the word "excellence" a lot in worship ministry. "We're aiming for excellence!" But what does that actually mean? Is it just about being musically impressive, or is there a deeper, more biblical definition we should be striving for?
In this week's video, I'm pulling back the curtain and diving deep into this often-misunderstood concept. Many people talk about excellence, but few truly define it, and that can lead to confusion and frustration.
I explore:
The biblical roots of "excellence": Where the New Testament uses the word and what it really means in those contexts (it might not be what you think!).
The common misconception: Why "excellence" is often equated solely with musical skill, and why that definition falls short.
The objective standard: I argue that there is an external, objective standard for excellence in worship ministry, and it's not just about doing "better than you did last week."
God's definition of excellence for worship music: Based on Colossians 3:16, we break down the three core commands that define true excellence in our corporate gatherings: enabling congregational singing, clear teaching and admonishment through lyrics, and ultimately, bringing glory to God through our skill within those confines.
This video will challenge your assumptions and provide a clearer, more biblical framework for pursuing excellence in your worship ministry.
