Leading Worship One Inch At A Time: The Reception

by Josh Hamrick April 28, 2011 leading worship

Since I went into such detail over the past several weeks about our Easter service, I thought it only fitting to give you a little bit of a follow up now that it is over. In short, it was wonderful. Everything went as planned, and God was glorified.  We got more comments from the congregation [...]

Leading Worship: The Reason

by Josh Hamrick April 21, 2011 leading worship

Why do you do what you do? Why do you stand on a platform every Sunday morning and lead people to sing? Why do you practice, rehearse, prepare, plan, pray, and even try to do it all with excellence? The Resurrection. That’s it, right? Without the Resurrection, everything we work so hard at is rendered [...]

Leading Worship “One Inch At A Time”: Staying Ahead

by Josh Hamrick April 14, 2011 leading worship

If you’ve read my posts for the last few weeks, you’ve seen that I’ve been focusing alot of time on my Easter service.  While this has been productive and edifying, it has caused an unintentional setback. I have fallen behind on my “normal” service planning. Generally, I try to plan about a month ahead. The [...]

I know that I have been guilty of that attitude at times. [...]

All of the spiritual rhetoric, hypothetical meandering, and much prayed for opportunities must at some point find a physical home here on earth if they are to be of much use. I’m sure that many of you are like me. I prefer to walk around with my head in the clouds, dreaming, thinking, praying, planning [...]

I’ve always had mixed feelings about doing special music services for Easter and Christmas. Something about it just never felt quite right.  It could have been that I was scarred as a child for having to sit through those endless, dreadful,  holiday cantatas. It could have been my aversion to placing special value on certain [...]

Leading Worship “An Inch At A Time”: God Created

Since before the beginning, God has been creating. Creativity is wrapped up in His very nature. It’s part of what makes God who He is. He is The Creator. He is still creating today. This past Sunday, we had a bit of a surprise. A pastor / church planter from The Philippines is in the [...]

Leading Worship “An Inch At A Time”: In The Beginning…

In the beginning…    Every good story must have a beginning, and so it is that this one begins with my compact hatchback making a left turn at the one stoplight in the tiny town of Patterson Spring, NC. About 50 yards down on the left sits Patterson Springs Baptist Church, a large red brick [...]
