Calvary Covers It All

The Saviour alone carried the cross For all of my debts He paid the cost Salvation complete, now forever I’m free Calvary covers it all Calvary covers it all My sin and shame don’t count anymore All praise to the One who has ransomed my soul Calvary covers it all No power on earth, not […]

The Oak Stump

In my previous post (The Worship Leadership Masterclass – Day 2 Roundup), I shared about how as I was teaching my class, I felt led to release a word to one of the students who was preparing for missions work in Japan. This is James Benjamin’s post from his blog Crossing the Boundary in which he shares […]

The Worship Leadership Masterclass: Day 2 Roundup

It’s been a pretty exhausting day. For some reason this week, it just took that much longer to get all the material ready for this morning’s sessions and I didn’t feel like I slept properly last night. Perhaps it was nerves. But I’m glad I pushed through! We had a great time this morning during […]

Where are You in the Spectrum of History?

In the Worship Leadership Masterclass, I said that one of the things worship leaders must do is balance the prophetic and the pastoral. This means that we have to keep breaking new ground but not run too far ahead that our people can’t follow us. One of the ways we break new ground is in […]

From the Archives: Five Facets of a Worship Leader

Worship leadership 101: a worship leader does a whole lot more than singing songs in front of a congregation on a Sunday. This is obvious. The task of a worship leader is so much more than that. In fact a worship leader is called to help shape the corporate worship life of a congregation. Here […]

Why I’m Going to Name My Kid Heman (or She-ra if She’s a Girl)

Okay, I may not name my first kid Heman. It’s not a particularly popular name and I’m worried he might get bullied in school. Or maybe his peers might place incredibly high expectations on him to produce feats of supernatural strength. I did want to name my kid Ethan though, until my good friend’s sister […]

The Worship Leadership Masterclass: Day 1 Roundup

It’s been about four years since I taught my last Christian education class. In my previous church, I was very active in teaching classes and organising syllabi. After moving to FCC, I’ve been concentrating more on worship ministry so it was refreshing to be back into teaching today. And moreso because I was teaching my […]

Worship Sunday Videos

At the risk of sounding self-indulgent, I have actually been listening to the recordings of Worship Sunday and watching some of the video clips of it. A lot. Like nearly every day this week. One of the things that happens when you’re leading worship is that you often don’t get much of a chance to […]

Worship Sunday 2014

I really love the direction that Faith Community Church has been heading in as Ps Benny has been leading us into the intentional disciplemaking blueprint. What I love about it is that we are culture-setting in a way which affects our own values and at the same time, seeing some visible changes in the way […]

Setlist: Kingsway Christian Church (2 February 2014)

It’s an honour to be invited back to Kingsway Christian Church to lead worship. It’s been months since I’ve gone to Kingsway. The last time I was there, they were still meeting on Sunday evenings. I can’t wait to see what God is doing in their midst and the growth they are experiencing. As it […]
