Day 2 of New Wine... I and a small team area leading worship in Rock Solid which is for 8-9 year olds and it is incredible fun. Kids of this age are so much fun and they show so much genuine, un-filtered passion for God and it is a pleasure to lead them into worship.
I also got the chance today to meet up with lots of other worship leaders and musicians in the FUSE networking session. I was reminded just how difficult it can be sometimes to lead worship in local church and it was great to be able to encourage others to keep going and that they are doing something incredibly powerful each time they step out and serve by leading others into God's presence with music.
At large conferences you can often get the impression that you are only a good worship leader / church leader / any kind of leader if you are leading thousands or doing something on a big platform worldwide. But I feel that God really needs excellent leaders to be committed to being local leaders. Our churches would wither and die if we were all jetting off around the world speaking at this conference or that. Our church really need amazing leaders who are not simply doing it in the hope of a 'big break'. It is a really tough thing to do - as it seems so appealing to be able to lead a large number of people.
Our eyes have to be fixed on God however. It is for His approval and recognition we must strive for rather than the so-called recognition of the world and it's people.
