What Is Contemporary
Lutheran Worship at Victory?
Select praise and worship songs that are firmly grounded in biblical truth and align with Lutheran theology. Ensure that the lyrics accurately reflect the teachings and attributes of Jesus Christ, emphasizing His redemptive work, grace, and glory.
Prioritize songs that highlight the Gospel message and the person of Jesus Christ. Choose songs that proclaim His sacrificial death, victorious resurrection, and His role as Savior and Lord. Avoid songs that solely focus on personal experiences or emotions without a clear connection to Christ.
Seek songs that convey deep theological truths about the nature of God, His attributes, and the doctrines of the Christian faith. Look for songs that express the Trinity, the Incarnation, the atonement, and other central doctrines.
Encourage congregational participation in praise and worship by selecting songs that are easy to sing and have memorable melodies. Ensure that the congregation can actively engage in worship through congregational singing, responsive readings, and choruses that facilitate corporate worship.
Strive for musical excellence in the execution of praise and worship songs. Encourage the use of skilled musicians and vocalists who are able to lead the congregation in a way that is musically pleasing and edifying. Pay attention to proper vocal technique, harmonies, and instrumental arrangements.
Incorporate a variety of musical styles and traditions within the framework of conservative, traditional Lutheran worship. Include hymns, contemporary worship songs, gospel songs, and spiritual songs, selecting those that align with Lutheran theology and enhance the worship experience.
Integrate praise and worship songs into the overall liturgical structure of the worship service. Find appropriate moments within the service, such as before or after the Scripture readings or as a response to the sermon, to incorporate praise and worship songs.
Maintain a balanced repertoire of praise and worship songs, including both timeless hymns and contemporary songs. Avoid excessive focus on either extreme, striving for a blend of tradition and innovation that speaks across generations. Intentionally curate song rotation so that there is a mix in each service of familiar and new songs to be introduced.
Foster an atmosphere of worship that is both reverent and responsive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Encourage prayers, intercessions, and moments of silence that allow for individual and collective reflection and response to God’s presence.
Regularly evaluate the praise and worship songs being used in the congregation. Seek feedback from church members and leaders to ensure that the chosen songs are edifying, inspiring, and reflective of the congregation’s worship style and theological convictions.
