Worship must come from our heart to be real worship. As we worship, we draw near to the Lord and become more and more like him. When we unveil our face and heart to him, then we can be transformed in His presence. Only in His presence can we truly be transformed. Some people believe the preaching of the word is the most important thing, but I believe Worship and the Word go together. I believe God has set a way for us to come to him that prepares our heart for the Word preached, or the audible voice of God, and that's through praise and worship.
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise, give thanks to him and praise his name.” Psalms 100: 4

I didn't write that, God did! You see I believe when we allow praise and worship to take place in our services, it breaks down the walls we have built up from the cares of life. When we truly enter into worship that draws God near to us, then we are ready to receive the word that brings life. It's like pouring cold water on a dry and thirsty land--then it produces life.ECHAD Ministries is a multi-faceted ministry that offers a variety of opportunities to the local congregation including;
