02 Leading by The Spirit | Brad Verreynne | Pastors Day 2023

God never intended for our meetings to be good “productions”, but meetings led by the Spirit of God. We need to let God choreograph every meeting, expecting and allowing for the unexpected. Every meeting is a God encounter in which He wants to reveal Himself and interact with His people. As elders, we need to be attentive to His heart and His voice, ready to shift direction to wherever the wind of His Spirit wants to go. In every aspect of the meeting, even in announcements, we should look for God and remain sensitive to picking up His heart.
What we see in Scripture is not a “well-oiled machine” but meetings teeming with life, where the saints play their part and contribute prophetic words, songs, testimonies, etc. Spirit-led meetings work when there is a relationship between the elders and the worship leaders in which they communicate with each other and feedback can be shared in an encouraging environment. Elders are, in a sense, a shadow of God, working together in team with Him by following where the Spirit is leading.
