The Heart of Worship - The Biblical Basis of Worship
I'm coming back to the heart of worship,
It's all about you, all about you Jesus.
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it,
When it's all about you, all about you Jesus
Excerpt from The Heart Of Worship by Matt Redman
It is great to see more and more churches developing worship teams and seeing the importance of worship. As our musicians become more skillful and worship music gets more sophisticated, the greater the danger of replacing Jesus with music as our center of worship.
This workshop is designed to re-direct our focus on God as our only center of worship. It is essential for everyone because we are created to worship God.
Outline:
- It is not about musical style; it's all about Jesus
- Biblical principles
- Spiritual? Emotional? Physical?
- Intimacy with God
- The whole church has to be synchronized
Instructor:
Anthony Chan - worship leader / songwriter / singer / keyboardist / voice instructor / video artist
Anthony is the Founder of jnX and has involved in music ministry for over 30 years. His passion is to share his experience with other Christian musicians and encourage them to be a true worshiper. Originally born in Hong Kong, Anthony began studying music at a very young age. He had conducted choir for eight years and led his choir on a performing tour in the Philippines. He came to the States in 1986. He got his MFA in Film Production from Temple University. Later he studied under several instructors at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA, and became a full time singing coach, with an emphasis on contemporary/pop singing style; many of his students have won numerous singing contests in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since 1996, he has been one of the worship leaders at his church. Trained classically in piano and served as pianist in traditional church for years, he has crossed over to contemporary style and he leads worship from the keyboard. He has produced 3 CD albums: “Love Journeys”, “Draw Me Close to You” and “Wait…”. Anthony regularly conducts training workshops for local worship teams and churches when he and the jnX team are not traveling.
