QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life – your sleeping, eating, going to work and walking around life and place it before God as an offering….Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God.”
Romans 12:1-2 MSG

People all over the world are enjoying The Worship Answer Book! A friend from Germany writes:
"This is the 4th book I read on the topic, and I really enjoyed it so much. It is very practical but also deeply grounded in God's word. Fast to read, but long to digest, it has long-lasting positive effects. It is really a "must" for everyone seriously seeking true Worship."

Read how Rick’s songs have blessed the lives of others...

"I'm the one who was blessed by you. Today I was listening to the songs of your free CD and I was so blessed. Between 1999 and 2001 I hit the lowest point in my ministry. The Saddleback songs were the songs that lifted me up. Your songs are timeless. They will never become "old fashion" songs because their message touches the deepest part of our being. Besides that, they became the official songs of a movement of God in which He used Rick Warren and you to touch entire generations! It was great to see you and your kids. What an inspiration to see them leading worship with you!"

"Thanks for all of the insight...your website and resources are GREAT!!! Your book is amazing."

"Thank you for being there for us!"
Read how "This Week at Saddleback" helped an Encouraging Music friend...

"I attend Saddleback church and have been since the summer of 2007. Rick Muchow often began the congregational singing with a song he played again and again. I am trying to remember the song. It was about strength, and it was not "O Happy Day", or "Everlasting God". Rick played this opening song even throughout the fall of 2007, and I am hoping you might have a list of the songs played during this time. I looking through the Internet as well, trying to remember. It is important to me because my wife and I sang it in the church every Sunday we heard it, and we smiled at each other as we sang. It is important because she is only 39 years old and she is now in Heaven with Jesus, and this song is just another good memory of her. Thank you for any assistance you could offer. Thank you for your ministry."

2nd email

"Right after my email to you concerning songs played at Saddleback Church in 2007, I found the resource in your web site that outlines the songs played at Saddleback church, and I found the song. The song is "You Never Let Go". Thank you for reading these emails and being there for us."

Rick had an amazing time getting to know and leading worship with some wonderful students from Biola who visited Saddleback recently. Here is what they had to say about their experience...

A few things you said I will keep with me always like, “God uses us as worship leaders as the hands and feet of Jesus. It’s a big responsibility, leading worship; it’s a matter of life and death. What you do really matters.”

WHERE WOULD BONO GO TO CHURCH??

Aug 9, 2009 Willow Creek Leadership Summit
Bono was asked where he’d go to church:


"I go where the life is. When I am in New York, I'll go to St. Patrick's Cathedral, sit in a corner and look at the stained glass. If I'm in the southern states I'll go to a Baptist church. If I'm anywhere near Saddleback, I'm going. Again, I go where the life is"

Looking for a little insight on how to make your rehearsals run more smoothly??
Here's a special gift as promised for those who were at the Worship Conference AND for those who had to miss out. Rick's notes from his workshop on rehearsal..."TRUSTING 1-2-3: (Tips for Rehearsal, Sound check and Overcoming chaos)". We hope this is a benefit to you as you plan your week!!"

  • Read what churches are saying about More Than Music!!
    "Oooo Yeaahhh! Rick Muchow strikes again! This studio recorded album is full of life, and holds great anthems for the church to sing. The drive and joy of I'm Set Free is contagious."---Kelly

    "The songs on the new CD are prayerful and powerful. I have used several of the songs as opening prayer for my small group meetings. I typed out the lyrics so everyone in the group could follow the words. We then did a few minutes of personal reflection. I also plan to use the CD during the Celebration Sunday program."---Clarice
    More about More Than Music...
    From Rick Muchow, "The songs on More Than Music are mostly high energy. Three songs feature a more intimate and reflective acoustic guitar style popularized by artists like John Mayer with two songs also having a touch of live strings."

    More Than Music is designed and produced with current song styles and arrangements to be used in your church. The songs were written and arranged with the congregation in mind. Your band will enjoy learning these powerful arrangements.

    His first new studio album in four years, the project was produced by critically acclaimed producer Keith Everett Smith known for his work with Point of Grace (Word,) Jadon Lavik (BEC,) Matt Papa (Word,) and Meredith Andrews (Word) with an additional song produced by award winning producer Tom Brooks (Integrity Music).

    The album features a world class cast of players including Tony Guerrero, Tom Brooks, Matt Campbell, Melvin Davis (Chaka Khan, Bryan Ferry, Lee Ritenour;) Dan Bailey (Phil Wickham,) Steve Marcia (Phil Wickham, Tommy Walker;) Michael Landau (James Taylor,) Julio Figueroa (Andrea Bocelli, BB King;) Rob Whitlock, Tom Dante (David Pack, Tom Brooks;) with live strings by John Catchings (Nashville String Machine,) and BGV's arranged by Tim Davis.

    Rick is committed to equipping the local church; encouraging worship leaders and their teams. All of these songs are Biblically based. Two songs are co-written with Rick Warren, and all are true to the purpose of encouraging your congregation to connect with God through the worship experience in a group setting AND in their personal lives. Rick believes worship is more than singing. Worship should be a part of the entire life of a believer.

    Also included in the liner notes is a chapter from Rick's "Worship Answer Book."

    Rick's brand new album More Than Music has just released.
