Thank you for the reminder that people of all ages like varied worship styles. I have been careful to point that out in every conversation I have had about this topic, but I failed to mention it in the article. My bad. I also appreciate the good reminder about how God made us with different personalities. One is not right versus the other. We should learn to value and appreciate our differences. However, from my perspective, I wish some people would refrain from calling my style of worship worldly, shallow, manipulative, superficial, trivial, and artificial. In not wanting to be judged, we should ensure we are not guilty of the same sin.
A church cannot please everyone, but I believe FCBC is headed in the right direction with both styles that are equally pleasing to God. May the people who gather to worship not feel superior or more spiritual than those whose heart language differs from theirs. May the Lord bless each of us as we worship in the way that transcends style, i.e., spirit and truth. Those are the worshippers the Father is looking for.

Cecelia, I am so glad you are enjoying the sermons online. We do not put the music up for copyright reasons and because we are not satisfied with the quality of the sound mix we are able to produce at the moment. Sorry about that. The music is such a wonderful part of our service. We do livestream the services on a site called Bambuser. You can search for FCBCJAX on the site and find us. We do not promote the site for the above mentioned reasons, but I know of some who watch it there. Praying for you! God bless!
