Worship Leaders and the Local Church - Teach (5 of 5)
One of the roles that we neglect as worship leaders is that of a teacher. So often, we get wrapped up in emotional moments of worship, technicalities of music and crafting of services. However, we forget that the songbook of the Bible, the Psalms, has all sorts of teaching in it. King David (who happened to be a great musician) and many others used their experiences and times with God to proclaim great truths about who God is, how He acts, who we are, how our sin affects our relationship with God and many other things.
We have an opportunity to help teach the local church about those same things, both on Sunday mornings by what we say and what songs we pick, as well as during rehearsals, mentoring times, and possibly times that we teach Bible study.
By becoming a teacher, we can help ease the pastor’s load of teaching everything, or help bring Biblical knowledge of what “worship” really is to people.
Don’t just sing, teach!
