Enter worship conference update

expanded! Thats the word of my heart right now. I love it. I love these conferences where I am stretched, encouraged, & challenged.
Things opened up this morning with some incredible worship. A great time of soaking in God's presence. The concepts being presented by each speaker so good.
Session 1 was with Ross Parsley on 21st century worship. Here are some thoughts.
---God is the initiator and we are the responders. God has already extended the invitation to worship, we just need to respond. Our prayers should never be "God come", we often spend time trying to convince God to come to our worship experience. Guess what he has already extended the invitation, he is already here, WE MUST RESPOND. WOW.

---If you are resentful with the team God has given you then why would he give you anyone else. HELLO!!

--- We are called to be multi-sensory. Whole body, whole hearted, whole mind.

--- Skill is a terrible foundation for your worship ministry. WOW!

---Many of our worship ministry flow this way: Skill, tradition, personality, musical style, organizational structure, ministry philosophy, biblical principles. This is opposite of what it should start with.

--- We often believe that worship style is where the annointing is.


So much more, to much to even right down. More to come on session 2. Later tonight. The New Life CD release party is starting now. Its going to rock my face.

LOVING JESUS,
Adam

I am sitting in our hotel room here in beautiful colorado springs. I brought some of our worship team down for a worship conference here at New Life Church called ENTER. We had a great drive down, I got the AMAZING sampler from T.G.I.Fridays (one of my favorite resturaunts), then we caught a late night movie, GET SMART, which for the 2nd time was gut wrenchingly funny.

I am strongly anticipating our time this weekend. We are going to be encouraged, stretched, moved, and have a great time worshipping God all weekend. I will be posting details from each speaker, I am very excited. Off to bed.

Anticipating,
Adam
