Tour // Birmingham

The first ever Worship Central UK Tour is now over, finishing off with a great night in Birmingham at my Dad's church, St. John's, Harborne. The day started with a cooked breakfast. Who cooked it? My Dad - he's multi-talented. Our families had come up for the day so it was amazing to have some time together.

The evening was a great night of worship. It was really moving for me to be leading at the church where I grew up. Leading from the stage where I first ever led worship in a church. It was also fantastic to see lots of familiar faces and friends. With the tour now complete we are so excited by all that God has done. Meeting worship leaders up and down the country has fueled my passion to see God's Church come alive - to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. A few reflections on the tour would be: TOGETHER WE'RE STRONGER Unity in the Church is essential. No one person has all the answers, however together we get a much better picture of what worship could be like. We need to learn to work with others. We need to encourage each other and pray for one another. The times are too urgent for the Church not to be united. I hope as Worship Leaders we can forge a way to work with others in our towns and cities. TO WORSHIP IS TO CHANGE In the midst of worship - people change. Over the last 2 weeks we've seen people come to faith, we've seen people healed and lives set free. When we humble ourselves before Jesus and offer up our lives and our worship there's a powerful spiritual dynamic. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom - there is life. We must choose to be expectant in our gathered times of worship. God responds to our hunger and passion. WE NEED TO PERSEVERE To see transformation we need to be committed to the long haul. We're in a battle and at times it will be tough work. The exciting thing is that we are on the winning team. Let's not give up. We need to keep going at all costs. The best is yet to come!
