2 weeks ago we had a great worship service at LifeTree!
In case you weren't there, we had major sound issues right as we were starting the service. Everyone rolled with it.
Svanna just so happened to have brought in her new acoustic guitar, Andy started leading, we pushed the grand piano over, Jeff played his bass through the amp, Jadyn jumped on the congas and somehow John's electric still worked...
...and we had CHURCH!
It was so beautiful hearing all the voices worship the Lord without all the frills of full sound and a full band.
It reminds me of Paul and Silas in prison, as they began worshipping the Lord...now they didn't even have an acoustic guitar!
However, I heard the acoustics in that prison were pretty sweet for a cappella singing! hahaha.
Seriously, talk about no-frills worship!
They had just been beaten with rods, their backs were bleeding, their feet were fastened into stocks, it was dark.
The result of that pure worship before the Lord was:
atmosphere-changing,
bondage-breaking,
freedom-making,
foundation-shaking Worship!
Acts 16:25-26 (NKJV)
But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and EVERYONE'S chains were loosed.
Wow! Their Worship lead to EVERYONE around them being set free from their chains???
Think about that one!
