Taste & See the Lord is Good!
In the Word, the Lord offers seven tables for His people to experience greater intimacy with Him. This workshop is a hands-on encounter with each of these tables so come and enjoy a "feast" in His presence.

What is the Anointing?
The oil used to anoint God's servants in the Old Testament was comprised of five specific ingredients and each ingredient coincides with our lifestyle and character today. This teaching gives us a new opportunity to dedicate ourselves once again to greater intimacy and commitment to God.

The Testings of God
This teaching offers a biblical perspective on eight different tests we may encounter as Believers: The Wilderness; Our Enemies; Gideon's Test; The Impossible Task; The Unfulfilled Word; The Praise of Men; The Loss of the Sense of God's Presence; Test of Total Commitment. Each test is designed to build strength and character into our lives and draw us closer to God.

The Desires of God
There are only seven times in all of scripture when God mentions His desires. We are called to be a mature Bride for the Lord and we should make note of what the Lord desires and try our best to fulfill them. We know His heart is to give us what we desire, and it should be our heart’s intent to fulfill the Lord’s desires, as well.

Prophetic Worship Flow Workshop w/ Singers, Musicians, etc.
This is a teaching and practical workshop covering an overview of the theological foundation and perspective of prophetic worship. Simply stated, prophetic worship is “worship” where God speaks and interacts with the congregation in both the corporate & personal setting.

Prophetic Song Workshop with Singers
In this class we will cover a series of practical and biblical exercises that lay a foundation for developing the prophetic song with our worship team members and our congregations. We will learn how to become skillful in prophetic singing and release this gift in others.

Worshiping God Through the Hard Times
How do we go on when life is the hardest, when the devastating blows come, when we are suffering? How did Job continue to bless God when he had lost everything? How was David able to turn to God at Ziglag in the midst of defeat? And later in his life, how did King David go on when his child died? How can we possibly minister to others in these times?

Worship Arts and the Incarnation
God didn’t just speak to the world; He came. The intangible, omnipotent God of the universe came as a man. We beheld Him, touched Him, walked with Him. And He has given us as artists many ways to bring the reality of the Gospel to the world in tangible, visible, touchable ways.
