Worship at Fellowship was powerful today, but "There is Nothing Like" had me crying like a baby!

I agree with both sides. I think there is a difference between a local church worship leader and a traveling worship leader. I think it is beneficial to have a team of local church worship leaders that are ingrained into the life of the church. As a local church worship leader, you lead worship for where that community is at. The original songs reflect the dynamics of that community. I believe that is a gifting.

On the other hand, you can have a traveling worship leader come in and jumpstart or shock a community with their gifting and message. But when they leave, the local church worship leaders continue to lead their community in the "after shock."

It just doesn't seem that one works without the other. I do recommend a team of local church leaders though. Sometimes listening to the same voice and message can grow boring after a while. A team keeps the community on their toes and challenges the community from different angles.
