Week 4: Staying Motivated

Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people.” – Colossians 3:23 (CSB)

As we settle into routines, motivation can wane. But serving on a worship team isn’t just about getting through another Sunday, it’s an act of worship itself. Staying motivated means reminding ourselves why we serve. To draw full attention to Christ, fostering heartfelt praise in response to His Glory.

When we focus on who we’re serving rather than what we’re doing, our motivation becomes anchored in something eternal and unshakable. Let’s approach this week with hearts fully devoted to worshiping God through our roles.

For musicians, motivation can dwindle when songs feel repetitive or the workload increases. Instead of viewing it as a burden, remember that your gift is a direct offering to God. Play and sing every note as an act of worship, knowing that your dedication inspires others to do the same.

The tech team often works behind the scenes without much recognition, which can make it harder to stay motivated. You’re often the first in and last out.  Remember that God sees every effort, from running cables to getting the perfect shot. Your work is integral to the worship experience, and even the smallest details glorify Him.

  1. Personal Reflection: Write down one reason why you serve and place it somewhere you’ll see often this week.

  2. Team Reflection: Share an encouragement with your teammates to help everyone stay motivated.

  3. Sunday Preparation: Arrive early on Sunday with a prayerful heart, ready to serve with enthusiasm and joy.  Say a quick prayer in the car this week before you jump out and head inside.
