"I didn’t notice any other instruments beside a piano and guitar. I did notice a wooden box on the stage as a makeshift bass drum. No song sheets were passed out as we walked in the chapel. No production, lights, or slides scrolled in the background. No preacher heralded a sermon from the stage for the listeners to record in their notebooks. And there was no service plan of what or who came next. However, what was evident to all in the room was the manifest presence of God as the people of God sang in unison to Him."
"No one sang out of routine or familiarity. Everyone intentionally focused on each word that rose from their lips. Worship songs I’ve sung for years seemed to have a deeper meaning. I believe the expectancy for God to move by those in the room led to a personal encounter with Him. The collective group anticipated God working in their lives. I wonder what would happen if we arrived each Sunday for worship with the same posture? Many times, we attend out of habit or routine, I’ve been guilty of that myself in the past. That was not the case at Asbury, at least from my perspective."
