PRAISE AND WORSHIP
ROP WORSHIP TEAM APPLICATION
Do you have a passion for praise and worship? Is your heart to use your gifts and talents to lead others into God's presence? If so, you might just be a great fit for our worship team. If you are interested in joining, take a few minutes to look over and fill out the application below.
Some emphasize the truth without allowing the Spirit of truth to quicken that truth to the heart of the hearer. Such an imbalance can result in dry, formal, or even dead religion. Others emphasize the Spirit, without any grounding in the Word of truth. This can easily result in unrestrained fanaticism. When all too often a diluted message is producing deluded people, at River of Praise we boldly proclaim the whole counsel of God, while welcoming and encouraging the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our congregation.
Although true worship involves every area of our lives, our corporate gatherings are uniquely designed for celebration, thanksgiving, praise and worship. This is especially true of our weekend services. Our worship is spontaneous, yet in order and based upon the clear teaching of scripture. Therefore, all are invited to join us freely and without reservation as we worship God "in spirit and truth"
(John 4:23-24).
Why do we lift our hands?
"Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD" (Psalm 134:2). "Therefore I desire that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting" (I Timothy 2:8).
Why do we clap our hands?
"Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph!" (Psalm 47:1).
Why do we speak or shout audible praise to God?
"...I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, 'Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power to the Lord our God!’" (Revelation 19:1; 6) “Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises.” (Psalm 98:4)
Why does everybody sometimes pray or praise at once?
"So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord." (Acts 4:24).
Why do we kneel down?
"Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker" (Psalm 95:6).
Why do we sometimes pray and sing in the Spirit?
"What is the result then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding" (I Corinthians 14:15).
Why do we speak in tongues? “
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” (Acts 2:4; 10:46; 19:6) Why do we sometimes dance before the Lord? "Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp" (Psalm 149:3)
