Nehemiah 12 - Passion445b.c.

Nehemiah 12:28 The singers also were brought together from the region around Jerusalem…….for the singers had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem.

One of the things that ANC is passionate about, is our corporate time of singing. We are blessed with a very gifted worship leader…..I am reminded by this in this chapter.

Back in this time….the singers were the worship leaders….and I read that they formed little communities of worship leaders to support each other and set themselves apart for this purpose.

There is a huge difference between someone who is a great singer and someone who is a great worship leader. It takes a special person, who is in union with God. I’ve seen great worship leaders, turn into okay worship leaders…and vise versa. And it’s really in their posture and attitude of Christ-minded focus. We at ANC are so blessed to have Chris Kipp and his heart and abilities. And when Chris goes down….so far….God has provided us with the likes of Andy Melvin and Lindsey Kane.

So for the ‘grand opening’ (dedication) of the wall…they assembled the best of the best. If you will…. imagine, Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall, Steve Fee, David Crowder, Christie Knockles, Lindsey Kane, Andy Melvin…and our own Chris Kipp….coming together and us worshiping our guts out. I can imagine this wall dedication being a Passion445b.c.!
