The service was pretty much like SACC. Mixed of traditio and contemporary elements. I appreciate the part where they began the service with the worship leader opening in songs of invitation to begin the service. Instead of making an announcement to gather the people, I thought it was beautiful and serene to use songs of praise to draw pple into the Lord's presence.
And during the songs of praise and worship, I heard the music of the harmonica. At first, I though it was the keyboardist using the harmonica mode on the keyboard. But his fingers movement did not synchronise with the melody. As I made a quick glance across the sanctuary, I noticed a man playing the harmonica. From what I could observe of his physical appearance, he seemed to be a blind man. If I was much younger, I would have been quick to feel that this person is disrupting the service. (not that he was playing badly but rather that this was not part of the plan) But as I listen to how the harmonica blended with the worship team, I found the freedom to worship God with the songs and words. Who am I to comment on the gifts of others whom they are presenting to God. All are free to come to worship God. As much as that is our freedom, worship is not free. The price had been paid. A costly one, though. Then with this in mind, how do we present ourselves when we are in God's presence (not just during service because God is everywhere). What is my attitude of worship to God? I need to constantly reflect.
23Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
John 4:23 (New International Version)
