Intense

We had an amazing time of worship last Sunday. Pastor Yoy began the service by exhorting the congregation to engage in praise, prayer and the prophetic. From my earlier post regarding last Sunday’s setlist, I shared about how we needed more of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in our services. It was the same message […]

Set List – Faith Community Church (18 May 2014)

At Faith Community Church, we are about to enter into a Season of Prayer where the theme will be hosting God’s presence. I’m reading a fantastic book about the Holy Spirit at the moment called Holy Fire by RT Kendall. Kendall is a conservative reformed pastor (he was pastor of Westminster Chapel for 25 years […]

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 […]

Set List: Faith Community Church (19 January 2014)

I’m excited as we prepare for our team’s first worship session for 2014. It’s always good to start the year on a positive note. Recently, Ps Benny shared in his “Back to the Future” message about how the Hebrew conception of time can be denoted by the word picture of a rower. The rower faces […]

2013 in Review: A Year of Open Doors

I can’t believe we’ve come to the end of another year. In preparation for the new year, which I am calling the “Year of His Presence”, Ling and I have spent most of the last couple of days trying to remodel and reimagine our study room. The piano (not that I play it) and guitar […]

Our Toughest Set Yet

For the worship team, Christmas is both a time of celebration and dread. Celebration, because of the wonderful theme of Christ’s incarnation and the manifestation of God’s salvation plan for all mankind; and roast turkey and festive carol-singing. Because everyone loves to sing carols. But dread, because whilst everyone loves to sing carols, the worship […]

Set List: Faith Community Church (17 November 2013)

I’m really excited as Fantastic Team 3 prepares to lead worship this Sunday at Faith Community Church. Every time our team is on, there is a real sense of excitement, as if it were all playing together for the first time. And I think that’s the way it should be! So often, our service to […]

Weekend Ministry with Ray Badham

I had the honour last weekend of serving with Ps Ray Badham as he led worship at Faith Community Church. Ray is a music director and songwriter at Hillsongs and currently serves as principal of Hillsong College. One of Ray’s songs, “Magnificent” has gone around the world and was most recently re-recorded on Darlene Zschech’s […]
