Worship "Concert"

I had the privilege of attending the Chris Tomlin "concert" last Friday night at the Dodge Theater in Phoenix. One of the highlights of the night was that Chris, Matt Redman and Louis Giglio spent nearly an hour talking to a small group of pastors and worship leaders about worship a couple of hours before the concert started. Although we got some good ideas that we can implement in our church, what impressed me most was the humility of these men who God has used greatly in helping people to worship Him.

And all that was really confirmed when the "concert" started. This wasn't really a concert, it was a worship service. There was no "opening act" followed by the "big star." Chris, Matt and Louis just worked together to help 5,000 people worship God together. All the focus was on God, not on the people on the stage.

I've been thinking a lot about how we can achieve that same kind of worship in our church. Let me know if you have any thoughts.
