DESCRIPTION

Worship is not just some bothers’ and sisters’ business. Worship is a lifestyle for everyone. What is Worship? An active worship is an act to engage your whole person and whole being to honor God. “來吧,我們來俯伏敬拜,在造我們的耶和華面前跪下。” - Psalms 95:6 “Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” - Matthew 16:24 Are you able to listen to Him and let go of the unnecessary substances that you are holding on? Why should we Worship? In 詩篇 41:13, 詩篇 106:48, 歷代志上 16:36 , 歷代志上 29:10-13, 但以理書 2:20 , 以弗所書 3:21, and 啟示錄 5:9 -13 all mentioned “神是應當稱頌的”, but WHY?! Yes, we may know the following in our heads: God is God. He is the creator of all created things and yet, He is willing to save us when we are helplessly falling apart from Him. But do we have the clear insights and personal engagement with God to know what the true values of our God? Is it hard to do so? Actually not because God is showing His glory as always, and we are actually made to worship Him. “原來,自從創世以來,神那不可見的本性,就是他永恆的大能和神性,都藉著所造之物,被人明白、被人看見,以致使人無法推諉。” - Romans 1:20 How should we Worship? 音樂侍奉的「不是」 - 不是表演 - 不是求自己享受音樂 - 不是滿足自我, 喜歡聽自己唱歌,陶醉在自己的歌聲中 - 不是抒發自己的煩惱,自我呻吟 By understand we do have a role of priesthood, so we should serve Him with our whole heart. 《Lord prepare me to be a sanitary》 We can’t lie to God that if we are really worship Him or not because “我耶和華是鑒察人心、試驗人肺腑的,要照各人所行的和他做事的結果報應他。” - Jeremiah 17:10 Music in general VS Music in Worship: Music in Worship is just a tool / platform, the ultimate goal is the Worship God. 不侷限在形式,而是要超越形式做到真正用心靈和誠實去敬拜. “耶 穌 說 : 婦 人 , 你 當 信 我 。 時 候 將 到 , 你 們 拜 父 , 也 不 在 這 山 上 , 也 不 在 耶 路 撒 冷 。你 們 所 拜 的 , 你 們 不 知 道 ; 我 們 所 拜 的 , 我 們 知 道 , 因 為 救 恩 是 從 猶 太 人 出 來 的 。 時 候 將 到 , 如 今 就 是 了 , 那 真 正 拜 父 的 , 要 用 心 靈 和 誠 實 拜 他 , 因 為 父 要 這 樣 的 人 拜 他 。神 是 個 靈 ( 或 無 個 字 ) , 所 以 拜 他 的 必 須 用 心 靈 和 誠 實 拜 他 。 」” - John 4:21-24 A Worship Team, is actually a good example of the Body of Christ because we do have different roles in the worship team, and we have to communicate and support each other, lift up each other and serve God as one wi

The pirates are on top, stealing all the good we made. The nomads are faithless, and people are restless, Searching for the love that saves. I've got so much left to give, and you gotta release me. You gotta release me. I've got so much left to give. I'll stand and walk out on my own. And I'm not alone on this road. You saved me. My mind and vision are clear, And I'm not alone while you're here. You saved me. Down through the ages, I've been stuck in cages, Giving up before I'm down. When all my ambition became my religion, Still I knew you were around. 27. 27 Demo: J Train I got a ticket, I got a ticket I got a ticket to ride (Gotta a ticket to ride to the other side) I got a ticket, I got a ticket I got a ticket to ride (Gotta ticket to ride to the other side) Ride ride wanna ride on the J Train On the J Train wanna ride on the J Train Ride ride wanna ride on the J Train On the J Train wanna ride on the J Train Sit back, relax put on your travelin' gear No need to doubt so put aside your fear "Destination" out of this atmosphere It's the J Train baby, we depart from right here No lines to fight no ticket to price I'm rollin' first class 'cause I've seen the light Try as you may but your money can't buy A ticket on the J Line to the other side 28. 28 Demo: & 29. 29 Demo: 30.
