Proper preparation prevents
poor ministry….
So how do we as Ministers of

prepare for worship?

15. Things to Consider when
Preparing for Worship
Power of Preparation
• Theme – Know the theme of the service, church,
year, sermon topic, etc, which is essential to proper
song selection.
• Rehearsal – should occur on a regular basis
• Communication --
 With God (Proverbs 16:3)
 With the Pastor (Proverbs 15:22)
• Focus – Worship should never be based solely on
emotion
• Excellence – Pursue excellence in worship by
leading with your whole heart. (Colossians 3:23,24)

16. Proverbs 16:3
“Commit to the LORD whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans.”

17. Proverbs 15:22
“Plans fail for lack of counsel,
but with many advisers they succeed.”

18. Colossians 3:23, 24
“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to
the Lord and not to men, knowing that from
the Lord you will receive the reward of the
inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.”

19. Power of Preparation

the part you play as a
