Worship: Reverence vs Relevance

Never before in the history of the church has there been as great a divide among pastors about what it means to "worship" in church. Feelings have been hurt, the work of the Gospel has been hindered, hearing aids have been blown and staff members have been fired over controversies that the rest of the world just looks at and folds their arms over. At the heart is the question: do we need worship ministries that are in the world, but not of it, or that are of the world, but not in it? What fulfills the calling of scripture?

LifeWay Training is calling on two of our most vocal [pun intended] speakers on the subject. Missiologist Ed Stetzer has planted and turned around churches in four states and now travels internationally, speaking to pastors who want to get their churches on the right track. Mike Harland has spent a quarter century in the local church building up the body of believers and spends his time creating resources that help people respond to the revelation of God.

These two thought leaders on the subject of worship come together to discuss and debate the issues that each direction creates. If your church has ever considered changing the direction of your worship, this dynamic, live event is for you!
