What's the difference between a regular concert and a worship concert? This question went through my mind as I saw a man coming out from the back of the Waterfront Ballroom stage with a guitar strapped in his shoulders and a book in his left hand. Then he read a passage which talks about the time when Jesus Christ appeared to His disciples after His resurrection. He then highlighted the words, "and they came to worship Him". The crowd roared a thundering shout and the man song the words,"Oh, and I have come to worship You."















I've been to some regular concerts and some worship concert. And I found a difference between regular concert and a worship concert. In a regular concert, the communication during the event is between the artist and the crowd. When the artist sings a beautiful song, the crowd will go on and say, "Wow, what a beautiful song". But in a worship concert, there are three communication process that takes place:
1. Artist and God
2. Artist and crowd
3. Crowd and God.














The artists' job is to lead the crowd not to focus on them but to focus to the one who deserves the glory and the honor and the praise. So when a song that ministers to the people is sang, the crowd will say, "Wow, what a wonderful God." Notice the shift of focus - from the artist to God.




And when the God is enthroned then He will inhabits the praises of His people. He can change the lives of the people and the people can open their hearts and God can touch their spirit. This is one of the wonderful things about singing songs to God it allows us to open our hearts and when we are open we can allow the Holy Spirit to minister to us. A Spirit to spirit connection is established and as the Jesus said, "... God is a Spirit and we should worship Him in spirit and in truth."
