What to expect at/from a Marty Miller concert:
Marty presents 1 to 1˝ hour concerts in churches, camps and colleges, and
has been singing now for over 20 years. He schedules both adult and youth
concerts, and picks his material accordingly. Marty is a songwriter, and shares
a lot of his own material from personal experiences, plus he also sings songs
that have spoken to him, from other artists as well. Also, he usually has a time
where he shares in a number of familiar worship songs, (plus a few new ones),
with the group of people. Marty plays acoustic guitar and keyboard, and also
uses background tracks for variety. He also can supply a complete sound system.
The feel of the concert itself tends to be very honest, open and laid
back. Since Marty shares a lot of his own writings, he is able to communicate
from a personal level on such topics as fellowship, prayer, witnessing, and
trusting God through the struggles in life. He has a gift of “using” the
music to open the hearts of the listener. The ultimate goal of Marty’s heart
is to see people really come to know God personally, and to share that daily
growth and closeness with others throughout their future walk The Gospel is more
than just fire insurance; it is a daily walk with the Spirit to grow, share,
give praise, and work out that salvation. These are what Marty’s songs deal
with. In sharing in this way, it will leave the people more receptive to the
future work of the home pastor and other leaders of the faith. Marty also keeps
the concerts humorous and interesting, while keeping a goal in mind of total
commitment to Christ. Many churches combine Marty’s Concert with other special
events, such as cookouts, potlucks, volleyball games, etc. It tends to draw more
people out, and gives a relaxed atmosphere to listen and open up. Some areas
even combine several churches into one main event.
