Chapter 29: Ministering out of our comfort zone
Sometimes we are just meant to minister outside of the places that we aren't used to. Using the blessings given to us by God, we are given opportunities to grow through our pain in not being used to something.
I think it's okay to do this and it's better to keep us growing rather than staying complacent.

Chapter 28: Understanding the dynamics of the worship service
To understand the worship service, that means that the worship leaders must be able to understand the flow of the order and be able to pick songs, discerning them between songs they like to play versus songs that are pertinent to the message. It also goes deeper into the little details, such as practicing the songs and reciting the message and making sure that it will all sound the way it's supposed to sound the the congregation. However, if we base our "effectiveness" on sounding good alone, then we are missing the point that we are meant to worship God, not perform behind His name.
I liked this chapter because it reminds us to watch the mundane and not only worry about the big things, we must be vigilant on the little things as well.

Chapter 27: being prepared to worship
In this chapter, the author speaks about. Being mentally and physically ready to worship as well as being spiritually prepared to be a worship leader. Every time that we lead worship we should prepare and be ready for whatever it is that God wants us to do, whether it be spiritual or physical. God uses the chaos as well as the order of a service to truly speak to people.
I like this chapter because it reminds me to be faithful to order in our services because it minimizes distractions for other people to get closer to Jesus.
