Regardless if you are on the platform or not, you are first a worshiper, and a leader second. God’s called you to minister to all and to guide his people in praise.So how do you do this as a team? You are more than a music team, you are a team of worshipers.Importantly, He’s called you to be the team. Eph. 4.16 In Exodus 3, God calls Moses alone by a burning bush. This was Moses’ first encounter of worship. What’s interesting here is that we see Moses being moved from a man of doubt and excuses to a man of definitive obedience and growth in God’s will.
What did Moses walk away with? The fact reality that God called him to something greater, but he also did not call him to do it alone.

Questions:
What does it mean to be a worship team?What is the purpose of a team?
What are some of the challenges you face within your team?
How do you overcome those struggles?
When I wasn’t leading, I felt disconnected and even placed aside. Sometimes I wondered if I was even on the right path. The truth is, when we put self and our ambitions ahead of Christ, we stand on another foundation that will suffer loss (1 Corinthians 3:10-12).
No matter if we are in the action of leading worship or taking part in worship among the church, we are instruments of His grace. Did you know that leading worship, or being led in worship, are one-in-the-same, because it involves relationships? This means that you lead as a team and worship together as a team.
I love this quote from Jack Hayford: “The inevitable fruit of vital worship will be a transformed people who become transforming instruments of God’s grace and deliverance to the world.”
In those times when you are feeling undeserving about your position on the team, or uneasy when you’re not on the platform, be reminded of your identity: it’s about who you are in Christ, not what you do for Christ. God works His ministry through you to impact other people.
You are worthy to God, and He has enlisted you to serve, not based on your own merit, but by His grace. Our Christ-like attitudes serve as a pathway to help usher people into worship.
Aside from your position on the team, your service in the church, and even your talent unto God, your identity is first found in Christ.
You are not just an individual, you are an interdependent team member in need of each other.
“You are more than a music team, you are a team of worshipers” @BranonDempsey
Since the Bible says:
“The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”” 1 Cor 12.21 Neither can the one singer say to the alto, I have no need of you. And the guitarist cannot say to the drummer, I don’t need you.” If we are God’s selected Levites to our local church, then we are bounded together as God’s musical servants. Not for ourselves, but for those who are here and not here yet.
So make it a win for your team by making it a win of relationships.
