The presence of God is meant to be more than just an occasional event during Sunday morning worship - you are meant to live in God's presence! In The Lost Art of Practicing His Presence, James W. Goll uncovers ancient and nearly forgotten keys to deeper intimacy with Christ Jesus while revealing the ease of working with Christ instead of for Him.
A training course is available for occasional preachers, to allow lay people to preach publicly within a framework which acknowledges the need for good order and appropriate recognition. View Leading Worship.

Music (and maybe particularly worship music, due to its personal, participatory nature) is a very individualized preference. What I “like” or even love may well be a song you’d be fine never to hear (let alone sing) again... and vice versa.

Occasional Preachers Occasional Preachers are people who have undergone a course of preparation (8 weekday evenings or 3 Saturdays) and who have the Bishop's permission to preach up to 5 times a year in their own Benefice under the guidance of the incumbent. All applicants must have the support of their Incumbent and PCC.

But I’m reminded of the story of a pastor whose congregant commented to him after the Sunday service that he hadn’t liked the music that morning. The pastor replied, “Oh, what don’t you think the Lord liked about it?”

I’m going to put on my worship leader hat here and say that worship songs are not about what we like or don’t like. Worship music at its best should be an accurate reflection of who God is and an accessible tool for His worshipers to use to affirm that truth. Worship songs should also draw us closer to God and to the strength, conviction, comfort, and counsel He provides. A song that does not do these things may be a perfectly “likable” song. It may be fine to listen to on the radio or sing in the shower. But it might be best left to those venues and kept out of the sanctuary on Sunday morning.

From my worshiper’s and worship leader’s heart (and with full admission that these are my personal opinions), here are 10 worship songs I’d be fine not to see on the Powerpoint screen again.
