Worship leaders must surrender to the sovereignty of God and the power of the Holy Ghost to lead. Monique Ingalls affirms, “Congregational singing is one of the central participatory and experiential practices in the worship of local church congregations, which has long been considered the paradigmatic way of meeting.”2 The Church desires worshipers who will worship God in Spirit and truth as they sing hymns, spiritual songs. This chapter draws on passages from both the Old and New Testaments that foreshadow Jesus as "the rock." John Phillips writes, “In the Old Testament the figure of a rock is never used of man, only of God.
Behind the symbol is the substance: Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today, and forever!”1 The monarchical and priestly system guided the way of worship of the people until the Word became flesh. Walter Brueggemann asserts: “The eyes of faith discern the reality of God's blessings in the language of promise. Geoffrey Wainwright asserts, “The God who delivered Israel from Egypt is the true God, being the universal Creator; the hand-made gods of the nations are mere idols.
It also illustrates the freedom, joy, and celebratory nature of non-sacrificial worship.”6 The art of singing Scripture to a corporate body.

McKelvey states, "The throne of grace to which the recipient is invited is an antitype to the 'mercy seat' made atonement on the Day of Atonement and extended grace to the people."8 The centrality of God's goodness to man is emphasized through the priestly redemptive works of Christ. Bock and Fanning note: "The human response can come as a word to God in confession and in thanksgiving, prayers and intercession." 16 The values of Christocentric worship shaped by the biblical structure of Christ's perfect priestly sacrifice are rooted in the Christian's obedience as living.
Man explains: “The grace of God means that God provides for us what He requires of us. Herman Bavinck: “The holiness of God manifests itself in all the relationships in which He has placed Himself towards His people. Kidd affirms: “Memorising Jesus' death in song helps us take our place in what Paul calls 'the fellowship of him.'
Roy Zuck claims: "God's truth, which is unknown to people who have not experienced God's salvation, is revealed by the Holy Spirit to those who love the Lord."32. Mark Labberton explains, “The core of biblical theology of worship is the value of God. Webber asserts, “The story of God is the story of the Triune God, and therefore always the story of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

I am more comfortable being accountable to the participants in the training session now than I was four weekends ago. Hearing the different struggles of other worship leaders encouraged me to see that I am not alone in my struggle to live a holy life.
