it would be learn how to serve your leadership. I
always find it difficult when I visit places, or I see
a disconnect in community, when people view
their roles in a church service as separate to the
roles of everybody else.
In Hillsong we’re all serving the service. The
worship is there to serve the Word. We want to
lead the congregation into a place where God
has spoken to them, they have connected with
God, and their hearts are soft and ready for the
message. After we lead worship we don’t leave
the service, we sit in, we’re listening, we’re
being ministered to, and we’re receiving the
word. That also helps us for when we’re getting
back on the platform so that we know where
God is leading in the room. So, I’d say learn
how to serve your leadership in terms of serving
the service, and that’s actually what is going
to serve the congregation the best. Not just
thinking about how you can make your twenty
or thirty minutes the best jams ever. That’s not
the goal. The goal is how we can step into
