Liturgy : The Journey of Worship (Part 1) – Seth Gehrke

Liturgy : The Journey of Worship (Part 1). September 16, 2014. September 16, 2014. I’ve noticed a lot of talk about liturgy lately. The only problem is that it’s become very philosophical and some people are just dancing around what it is. Here’s the thing I’m realizing… some people like the idea of throwing in some old chants, songs, rewritten hymns or scripture to liturgicalize (new word alert) their worship. Then others are looking to understand why. A quick background on liturgy and how it began.

Monday Music No.16 – I gripped my son’s hand…. August 29, 2016. Sorry to leave you on that cliffhanger of a blog title, but the song I wanted to share with you this week fit too perfectly with a blog post I wrote almost 2 years ago. We were up in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and my son, Will, was 3-years-old at the time. We… More Monday Music No.16 – I gripped my son’s hand….

Parenting #2 – Seth Gehrke

https://sethgehrke.com/2015/05/27/parenting-2

May 27, 2015. May 27, 2015. Quick poll of parents (and non-parents) out there… who has ever said, “We’re gonna make sure to parent our second like we did the first one.” Then the second one actually comes along…. 8221; Plus we said, “We don’t want him learning bad habits at the dinner table.” Well, yeah, both are good points, but come on. He’s barely 2 and can hardly understand or communicate. Very soon. As he grows, we can implement more practical table manners as his maturity allows. This may seem like...

Worship: Preparing for the future – Seth Gehrke

https://sethgehrke.com/2009/09/06/worship-preparing-for-the-future

Worship: Preparing for the future. September 6, 2009. Every 3 years the LCMS puts on a Worship Conference focusing on preaching, worship, singing, and music primarily. What I can gather from mailings and online info, is that it focuses extremely heavily on the new hymnal, traditional liturgy, hymnody, chanting, handbells, choirs, and formal instrumental ensembles. Is there anything wrong with that? This blog is not for or against contemporary worship, but a desire for the preparation of worship leaders/m...

I’m going to dive into ours and explain what, why and how we do it. I’m not sure where I first heard the term, but I like to describe our worship style as Ancient Modern.

February 4, 2015. February 4, 2015. I can’t do that. It’s too hard. This will never be over. What if they don’t like me? What if I fail? I certainly don’t know enough to even try. Have you ever had any of these thoughts or similar ones? I started working with a coach and they put a name on them: limiting beliefs. If you do, here’s a little help to get you started. Call them what they are, take them head on and move through them. EXAMPLE: What if they don’t like me? Yes Are there people who do like you?

A new song for Em. – Seth Gehrke

https://sethgehrke.com/2013/02/16/a-new-song-for-em

A new song for Em. February 16, 2013. I thought I would make a quick recording of the song I wrote for Emily on Valentine’s Day. I hadn’t written her a song since the one I used to propose over 7 years ago, so I figured it was time! You’re the One. You’re the one I always longed for. You’re the one I dreamed about. And right after that first call. My heart had no doubt. Our family has sure grown. We’ve got a puppy and a boy. From the cold to California. With you there’s always joy! Our team goes on and on.

Will you be there? – Seth Gehrke

https://sethgehrke.com/2014/12/01/will-you-be-there

Will you be there? December 1, 2014. December 1, 2014. I had a moment of clarity this weekend. My 3-year-old son, Will, and I went on an afternoon hike in the Sierra Mountain foothills while the rest of my wife’s family was preparing dinner. We decided to check out what was behind the condo we were all staying in for the week. Ok, I’m choked up now. I thought about how I’ll not always. That clarity moment led to one of dread. I. Leave him. I think that hit me even harder. It made me, even more, w...This ...
