“Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people.” – Colossians 3:23 (CSB)
A growth mindset is not just about improving ourselves but about striving for excellence as an act of worship. Excellence honors God and inspires others, but it must be paired with humility—a recognition that our gifts and growth come from Him alone. Pursuing excellence with humility keeps us focused on glorifying God rather than seeking recognition for ourselves.
This week, let’s reflect on how we can grow in excellence while keeping our hearts grounded in humility, pointing everything we do back to Christ. We want to draw full attention to Christ, fostering heartfelt praise in response to His Glory!
For musicians, pursuing excellence means preparing thoroughly, practicing consistently, and aiming to give your best in every rehearsal and service. At the same time, humility reminds us that our abilities are gifts from God, and we play not for applause but for His glory.
For the tech team, excellence looks like paying attention to detail, striving for precision, and finding ways to improve each element of the service. Whether it’s fine-tuning audio levels or perfecting transitions, approach each task as an offering to God, with humility recognizing that your work helps point others to Him.
