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.
