Justin Bieber leads worship at church, says it’s more nerve-wrecking than performing at concerts

Attendees at Churchome posted video of the Canadian entertainer singing “Never would have made it” by Marvin Sapp and “To worship you live” by Israel &New Breed.

 The 25-year-old also shared his testimony saying: “When you are weak you are strong and there’s power in our weakness. It’s been hard for to kind of come to terms with that.”

 

It’s been reported Bieber regularly attends Churchome, which is led by Pastor Judah Smith.

A day after the service, paparazzi for US entertainment site TMZ followed Bieber leaving a restaurant and asked him if singing at church was more nerve-wrecking than singing at his concerts. He replied “church” and also answered “yes” when asked if he would sing at Kanye West’s Sunday Service.

In an emotional Instagram post sharing video clips of him leading worship, Bieber thanked his wife Hailey Bieber for being a “huge support” after revealing he is enduring a “hard season”.

 

He said God was “pulling me through a hard season” and that “having trust in Jesus at your worst times is the absolute hardest”.

Bieber, who married model Hailey, 22, last year, added: “I also want to thank my wife for being such a huge support in my life through this season.. it says in the bible count it ALL JOY when you face trials of various kinds. Sounds insane considering when u face trials u feel terrible. “

The Love Yourself singer finished the message by…

Kanye West appears to be releasing new album called Jesus Is King

The album appears to be called Jesus Is King and could be released on September 27th, according to a handwritten note shared by Kim Kardashian West.

 

She captioned the post on Twitter with a praying emoji. The supposed tracklist contains a song titled Water. West performed a track by that name during his Coachella Sunday Service earlier this year.

 

If West were to release an album, it would be his first since Ye, which arrived in June last year.

In September the controversial rapper announced that he was releasing an album titled Yandhi later that month, however it was postponed and then abandoned.

West has been busy performing his Sunday Service events each week, which feature an exclusive guest list and gospel music.

He has not tweeted since January 1, following a period when he was particularly active on the website and courted controversy for voicing support for Donald Trump.

Religious leaders must take responsibility for extremists, says archbishop

The Most Rev Justin Welby, the figurehead of the worldwide Anglican Church, told interfaith leaders in Sri Lanka that accepting responsibility is key rather than disavowing an extremist.

Mr Welby arrived in Sri Lanka on Thursday and first visited St Sebastian’s Church near the town of Negombo to pay homage to those killed in the Easter suicide bomb attacks blamed on extremist Muslim groups.

 

On Friday, he told religious leaders that discussion among faiths has become more difficult in the last 30-40 years and in every faith, including in Christianity, extremist attitudes have grown.

“It is the duty of every religious tradition, for its leaders, to resist extremism and to teach peaceful dialogue,” he said.

“So the first challenge to all of us is take responsibility.

“If a Christian does something evil, it is not for me to say ‘well they are not a real Christian’. I have to ask myself ‘what is within my faith tradition, our historic teaching, that makes it easy for them to do that?’

“The second challenge in dialogue is honesty. Dialogue is where we are…
