Worship

Hey, guys. This is Josh. I would like to say that I am thrilled to be able to lead worship for you guys on Wed nights. It is a passion I have had for some time, and God has finally opened the door.

The primary goal of Selah is to glorify God. There are a lot of consequences to a statement like this. It means living a life of worship, and of leading others into it. It is a heavy burden at times, but it is the work that Jesus has set us apart to do. And it is the Prime Directive of all who profess the Name of Christ. But, specific to the band, we (Selah) have two areas of focus.

First, we want the music to be alive and powerful, energetic and thought-provoking, challenging and fun. This means quality of songs chosen, and quality in the performance of them. To this end, we are being very selective about who is able to join us on the platform. Spiritual maturity and musical skill must both be present before anyone can join Selah. Not just skill, but compatibility in musical style and personal interaction with us. This is not done in an effort to exclude anyone, simply to offer the very best that we have to the Lord.

The second focus is to bring those around us into this esteemed calling. For some, this means decipleship and development in their spritual walk. For others, instruction and training in the area of music. This goal requires a commitment of time and personal investment. And it is not something we can do alone. I would ask that you pray for us, that God will give us opportunities to share with and grow those around us. To this end, I personally will be evaluating my schedule for times that I can spend giving music lessons to those interested, and deepening relationships.

With this in mind, I invite you to join us on Wed nights, and experience and participate in our collective worship of the Almighty God, whom we serve.
