Your Guide to Selecting and Leading Songs for Worship

This turned out to be such a great blog series. One of the things we can never rest from is selecting songs and leading them. We do it so often that it becomes a routine where we lose the heart of the matter – encountering God. My goal was to help us maintain vision in the midst of our routines.

We walked through practical steps to selecting songs, leading songs, and moving people into a place of true worship. Here’s some of the topics we covered:

  • How to find new songs
  • I see songs everywhere. Which ones should I choose?
  • Writing songs for your local church
  • Common mistakes in choosing songs
  • Navigating the “Hymn Wars”
  • How to Create Continuity in a Setlist
  • How to Move Your Congregation Beyond the “Sing-a-long”

Do you have any ideas of a future series you’d like me to cover? Let me know in the comments.
