As much as we hear about Heaven and as often as Christians sing about Heaven, it’s surprising just how little most of us really know about our eternal home. In this fascinating message, Dwayne Moore leads us on a guided tour of Heaven–from the sites of its building materials to what we will be like in our resurrected bodies. This “tour” climaxes with a sneak peak of a yet-to-take-place worship service around God’s throne in Revelation chapters 4 and 5.
The recorded message below is based from Dwayne’s upcoming book called Heaven’s Praise: Hearing God Say “Well Done,” which will be released in June of 2011.

This video teaching message was presented by Dwayne Moore, founder of Next Level Worship, LLC, at the Next Level Worship Conference held in Deridder, LA. In this powerful message Dwayne explains that there are 3 characteristics of a “next level worshiper.” He also shows us how every believer can and should be a next level worshiper of the true and living God. Enjoy!
”Engaging in Heaven’s Praise will delight your soul and clarify your purpose each day. What a glorious thought that God wants to praise us! I deeply appreciate the simple truths–grounded in Scripture–that Dwayne Moore has crafted into a daily tool for individuals or groups to immerse themselves in. This study is a gift to the kingdom!”

Here is a powerful dramatic and responsive reading that works great for a Fourth of July Celebration Service. It is excerpted from the House of Representatives Resolution 397 (111TH CONGRESS, 1ST SESSION). It highlights in chronological order many evidences of how the United States of America was founded on God and why therefore it should continue to be a Christian nation.
This Dramatic Reading needs 4 people and takes 9 minutes to read. We encourage you to play a building rendition of Battle Hymn of the Republic or a similar patriotic song to accompany the reading.

As a part of my Online Worship Leadership Training Course, I teach on Planning Effective Corporate Worship that Flows. Below is part of the content from that session. I draw important parallels between baking a cake and planning worship. Love to hear your thoughts. Thanks! – Dwayne
1. Choose the right ingredients. The ingredients depend on the kind of cake we plan to bake. For example, if we want to bake a chocolate cake, we will obviously need some cocoa or other chocolate ingredients. And if we want a coconut cake, our recipe probably wouldn’t call for carrots - at least I would hope not! Likewise, as we sit down to plan a worship service, we need to carefully consider what ingredients or elements are actually needed in that service. What is the theme of that particular service? Is there a special emphasis that day? Is the gathering targeted toward lost and unchurched people? Also, what creative elements might we utilize to enhance the service, such as videos, testimonies, prayer stations, or choir “specials”?
2 Sift and whip. The ingredients used for baking often need to be sifted or whipped before they can be added. Our responsibility as worship planners is to “sift out” unnecessary – and potentially distracting – moments within a service. For instance, do we really need to introduce the person or group doing the “special music”? Is it absolutely necessary to explain or “set-up” a particular song before we sing it? (See Freedom NOT to Announce Every Song) Could the praise band exit the stage during a prayer or meditative acapella song (while people’s eyes are closed) to keep down distractions? Read more…
