Simple Faith

Worship Articles by Stephen M. Newman Pastor of Worship and Arts October 29, 2001

We began unpackaging the speakers as we began assembling them. Wow! These were the most awesome speakers I had ever seen. Thin and black. They were amazing to look at. I lifted one of the speakers thinking I would need help...70 pounds apiece. That may not sound like much but these babies were rated for 4000 watts. I still had a hard time believing that these would produce a better sound than the stacks we were using. I had eight cabinets and eight horns. This speaker was the size of one of the cabinets and thinner than a hotspot.

It took us half a day to get the speakers in place. After hanging the first one we decided to fire it up. I was anxious to hear these speakers that I had waited on for months. When he put in a CD and cranked it up, I was blown away! Blown away is an understatement. These speakers produced a clearer, purer and sweeter sound that anything I had ever heard. On top of that, it was too small to push the 2000 watts we were pushing. As he raised the volume, my ears didn't hurt. There was no distortion at all. Every place I walked in line of the speaker was the same. It was the same at the front of the room as at the back. When I stepped out of the line of the speaker, the sound dissipated. It was as if the sound was thrown in a specific area for a specific area. I asked Leon about it. He said that was one of its functions and design. You could throw it to a specific section of an audience. The other amazing things was the amount of sound coming off the back walls. It was hard to detect it.

I could go on for hours of the technology of these speakers and yet only begin to scratch the surface. There is nothing like it out. They weigh less than any conventional speakers and produce tenfold the volume and clarity.

I still ask myself why I was given the opportunity to be the first in the world to have this technology. Why were we blessed to receive this before churches ten times our size? The answer was simple and yet I still can't believe it. God brought Leon and I together for a purpose. The bigger outcome is still to be found. However, I believed that he had something in his technology. I had faith in him as a person and friend. The first time I met him in person was when he came to install the system; and yet, it seemed as though we were old friends.

I don't consider myself a man of great faith. This was an act of simple faith that produced an incredible outcome for our church and myself. Our music is clearer and better than it could have ever been with conventional speakers. The spoken word is produced as clear as if you were standing next to the pastor. Our ability to do ministry and reach others for Christ has risen to a new level. Our worship is better than it has ever been. All because I met a man whom I had faith would produce what he promised.

"To God be the glory for the things he has done and continues to do to those who believe and have faith".
