Rock Show, Revisited

"Rock Show? We prefer worship experience."

I overheard a conversation after our Saturday Evening Service. "The worship was incredible this evening. I thought I was at a rock concert..."

I've been "producing church" for a while now at big churches as well as small churches, and every time I hear "rock concert" in church context, I flinch. I know my heart, and the heart of those that I work with on stage as well as those that work behind the screens scenes... and to call our worship, our sacrifice, our offering to God a rock concert... well, I think the person is missing the point.

Don't limit what we do by calling it a "concert". Make no mistake, at Christ Fellowship we do use a different style of music (than most churches today do), BUT we are still worshipping God.... and the hours of sacrifice from our staff AND VOLUNTEERS is directed not at an audience for their personal enjoyment but in worship of One to bring Him glory.

I invite you to come worship with us. Use the environment we've worked hard to create to help you connect to God.

BTW, enjoy the raw video (Future's Decided) from our Worship Service Saturday night... Thanks to the MANY of you that help produce the worship environment at CF's twelve weekly worship services across Miami.

It sure looks and sounds like a rock concert! Really, God is the only one who knows the true hearts (desires, intentions, goals, motivations, etc.) of human beings.

And for that I'm both grateful/relieved and terrified/motivated.

Here's why it's not a rock concert: no respectable rock band has an overweight lead guitar player with obvious male pattern baldness. But kudos to the media team. The world says let's have cool visuals and lighting just because it's cool. How much more should we be motivated to make it ridiculously awesome for God? I say run that jenk like we're throwing the biggest surprise party in all of creation for Jesus.

Rock Concert? So much for doing what will draw in the culture...

Honestly, who wouldnt want to go there to see Sammy dance and see Jeff Reed with a camera on stage...
