Psalm 33:2-4 (NIV)
2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4 For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.

I often think about this and have to reevaluate this from time to time. Some people can be extremely skillfull but may not have a heart for worship. Others have a heart of worship but sound terrible. For one thing, I'm so glad that God is able to hear our heart and not necessarily our pitch or tonality.

I find it difficult sometimes, as I’m working on "bettering" my skills, to avoid the pitfalls of pride. Now I'm not saying I'm awesome, but I have a talent given to me from God. So right now, "Skillfully" means to me... that every technical advancement in my playing be credited to God, that the sounds I make are pleasing to Spirit and that I always strive to worship from my heart.

There is a challenge here and it's different for every musician. But what ever that is, step up. Find the motivation and incentive. I'll do the same.

We're going to try and post the set list every Sunday after the service so you'll be able to offer specific feedback for each week. Just click on the "Responses" link below the list and let us know what you thought of the songs or any other part of the service. We really want to build something together so any thoughts you can offer (yes, even the negative ones) are great! You can also click on the names of the songwriters to check out their respective websites. 

Welcome to the all new Arbor Christian Fellowship Worship website. As we work towards growing the music ministry at ACF, visit often to ask questions, offer feedback, keep track of upcoming events, and be a part of our online community. Also check out great artists, videos, and worship resources.
