Kris BainesA grace-filled atmosphere within our church is such an important aspect. This is especially true as we work through nervousness, fear, making mistakes, and trying not to be distracted by issues that can produce anxiety in us - rather than being able to find joy as we serve the Lord in this way.
Kris BainesAs we make the time and effort to communicate well, our relationships will become stronger, the more people will know where they stand, and the less difficult situations we will find ourselves in. Also, we will gain the trust of others more; and that’s important, especially when you are serving others in a local church context.
Kris BainesAs Christians, our communication is to be governed, shaped, molded, and influenced by biblical truth. You could also say our communication is to be shaped more by the Word than it is by the world.
Kris BainesAs we seek to lead the congregation in true worship, let's always be mindful that while we should try to do what we can to aide this, we can't make or force it to happen. True worship is a genuine, heartfelt response that is motivated by a desire to praise our Creator and Savior.
