Blog post written by Ben Richardson, The Gathering Worship Leader
The Gathering is a place of worship where you as an individual can come and worship our amazing God with people who want to do the same thing.
One thing I love so much about The Gathering is how we focus on God. The whole time we are just glorifying and listening to what He wants to say and where He wants to go. Sometimes the worship service is just to give God the glory He deserves. And sometimes God just wants to speak to His children.
The last worship night we had was one of my favorite times leading worship because it was all focused on what God wanted to do. God showed up and it was so amazing to feel that I was just singing in front of Him.
Something that I love about worship is it is something that God deserves so much of. We can only give Him so much, but when we do He shows up to speak to us. When we put everything else aside and focus on Him, He speaks more clearly. When we lift Him up, He brings us closer to Him. When we are closer to Him we feel our sin going away. There is less of the bad stuff that this world wants us to cling to, and there is more of Jesus that is filling us up with love, faith, hope, joy, and peace.
“I will extol You, my God, my King; and I will bless Your name forever and ever. Everyday I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praise; and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.
-Psalms 145:1-4
