My friends over at City Community Church posted this spoken word piece from their service last weekend and I cannot stop listening to it. This powerful piece was written and performed by Mike Perez to conclude a series entitled [blank].

I don’t know about you but that gives me goosebumps.

    Challenging, blunt, revelational (is that a word?)… any way you put it, that was awesome!

    Wow. Wow.

    I’ve often wondered if we need to ban the word “worship” from Christianity these days, and replace it with the word “surrender”. When I say the phrase “Great worship!”, what I really mean is that the band was amazing, and that they sang great songs that gave me tingly feelings. I should be looking at short-term missionaries coming back from Haiti, pointing at them, and saying, “Great worship!”

    Well said. I believe “great worship” encompasses all those things – the songs we sing, the trips we take, the time we surrender, the missions we support – these are all acts of worship.

    so powerful. i think the most challenging part to me was the line about needing worship to have an amazing return on investment to convince us of its worth.

    Awesome prayer and that is what worship is all about connecting with God through sacrifice, experiencing his grace, mercy, his presence and revelation of accepting anyone no matter where they come…..

    This reminded me of the reformed rap of guys like Shai Linne, LeCrae and Flame. Ever heard any of these artists?

    Awesome Brad. Thank you. Worship = heart response + verbal and physical expression + hands-on LOVE. This is a game changer if people let it sink in to the deep places. God bless, brother.

    .) Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
