You Are Mid-Formation While You Lead Worship | Before the Doors Open

For the worship leader doing vocal warm-ups in the car on the drive in. For the audio engineer powering up the rig before the coffee is hot. For the lighting director walking the room while it is still empty.

Anchored in 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24. The God of peace himself sanctifies you completely while you serve. Spirit, soul, and body. The voice you are warming up, the body that has been carrying the week, the soul that is tired, the spirit that has been distracted. All of it.

The same God who calls you to lead today is the one who is forming you while you lead. The sanctifying does not stop when the lights go up. You are not on a break from formation while you lead worship. You are mid-formation, in front of people, with hands full and the Spirit at work.

He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.
