Spontaneous Worship - Sean Feucht

Taking risk

• The unpredictability of worship.

• Embracing the awkwardness to create an atmosphere of freedom.

• Worship in heaven is wild and unpredictable, and we are able to recreate that here, freeing people from the monotony of song order.

• Anytime you venture from the known into the unknown, there’s risk involved, and as a worship leader, you’re going to have to take risks.

• Embrace the awkwardness - create an atmosphere where there’s freedom to try.

Sing a new song

• The Biblical command to sing a new song.

• Creating space for new melodies and rhythms.

• In the Bible, there are 89 direct commands to sing a new song unto the Lord. It’s a demand upon a worshipper to create an expression that’s never been created before.

• Spend time not just learning the songs but open up the atmosphere for new melodies and rhythms. 

• Try taking two songs that everyone knows, and create some moments between the two songs where you can vamp off the page. 

Leading the room

• Embodying the breakthrough you want to see.

• Engaging the room by being aware of the crowd.

• “The Lord told me to open my eyes while singing, and to lead worship seeing what He is seeing.”

• “I’m not trying to force an agenda but match what the Lord’s doing as people sing.”

• Sometimes you have to physically embody the breakthrough you want to see, inviting people in.

• People want to know how to engage, but for some of them the wall is just a little bit higher and you have to help them over it.
