Great weekend of worship! A lot of people Seeing things from the other side of the speakers, from a congregation point of view was awesome. Dan Delzer did an amazing job leading worship this weekend. The whole team really was phenomenal. I'm so proud of them. Proud that our church has a worship team who really knows how to worship. So now to the set list this weekend. Again what a great job Dan Delzer did leading us in Worship. I will have to do a Meet the Team video with him soon.

All Because of Jesus
Promises
Take All of Me
For Who You Are

Commitment Song;
Centre of My Life

This weekend we had a great guest speaker with us Pastor Rick Bezet, he was speaking on "to be in the world but not of the world." So I knew that this weekend we needed to bring down some walls that people had up in there lives. To show them the benefit of living in Christ not just seeing Him as an acquaintance. So here's our song set to try and accomplish this goal of breaking down walls and challenging people to live for Christ.

Worship Set List - 7/18-19/09

Salvation Is Here
When I think about this song in a congregational setting i think about the Unchurched, Uncommited, Undecided singing 'Salvation Is Here.' I just have this picture of God just opening up the hearts of everyone in the church ready to be changed forever. Breaking down some walls with 3 powerful Words 'Salvation Is Here.'

My Future Decided
Again another song with wall breaking words to say out loud what Jeremiah 29:11 says, "'For I have plans for you' says the Lord, plans to prosper and not to harm me, a future and a hope for me."
For the unchurched, uncommited, undecided to say this! Wow. A lot of times for me I find that this is a very common question in a church like ours. 'Why am I here?' and people want to know this, they would love to sense a fulfillment of accomplishing what God has them on this earth to do.

Mighty to Save
"Savior He can move the mountains. My God is mighty to save, He is mighty to save. Forever Author of Salvation, He rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave."
To be in this world but not of this world, and we can do that when we keep our eyes on the one who is Mighty to Save us from anything we face day to day.

You Deserve
Another Praise song to bring down the walls to receive the word God has for us. I love this bridge in this song: "I can't imagine a life without You, without You, cause it's all for You, yes it's all for You God" again living for God to be in this world but not of it.

Commitment Song:
Rescue
And finally to drive the point home..."this world has nothing for me, I will follow you"

My prayer is that people left this place with there eyes on Jesus and not on themselves and that they start to live for Him, through Him, and in Him. Because it's there where they will find true purpose in life, and true fulfillment. Break down the walls in our lives God that we make do what you need us and are calling us to do.

Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux K...

I wanted to share this with everyone cause this album is so good. Probably one of the best 'sounding' records that has come out. Love the new producer, and I love that Tim Reynolds is on this killing it.

This is some notes I took from our staff meeting this morning and a timely word from Pastor Randy so I decided to share.

------------------------------------------------------------

Prov 16:9
"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps."

** God doesn't reveal detail plans but simply gives us next step plans that stretch us.**

If you are a planner sometimes this is tough to grasp ahold of, to let God just give us the next step and not the whole picture, it sometimes gets us to a place we just would rather control it, cause we want all the steps all at the same time, and God just doesn't work like that unfortunately.

Think about when you get driving directions somewhere, it becomes overwhelming if you get all the steps at one time. For me I can only handle one at a time and for some of you, you may be able to handle more, but still you can't have them all at once cause you'd get lost. You'd take a Left where you would suppose to go Right and head South instead of turning North and in the process doing a lot of backtracking.

So Why does god reveal next steps, rather than the whole picture:

1.) God doesn't need your help. HaHa


If He gave you it all at one time, you would try to skip steps and mess the whole thing up.

     God just wants your obedience!

God only gives you the next step to stretch you! He's the one who determines my steps not me.

2.) If God showed us all the details we'd probably never go.

Think about a trip or an experience in your life where now you can say 'its been great'  but along the way its been tough or maybe dangerous even, based on the experience your thinking about.  And If you would have known you'd go through some heartache or even some danger...would you have still done it or gone through with it? Probably not because you'd try to keep you or your family out of harms way!
Even though now you can look back through that experience and see the growth or fun you had.

Just remember this:
   "Where there is stretching there is blessing" - Mike Haman (my old youth pastor)

This was our weekend set list and I wanted to elaborate on it to let you know what I was thinking about in putting this set list together. It was 4th of July weekend, so I did take into account people remembering, hearing, saying the word "Freedom" because of the Holiday. And what I wanted them to grab ahold of was that true freedom comes from God. So we did these songs with mention to Freedom in them.

Such as:

My Future Decided - Hillsong

In this song there is what I call a battle cry that says,
"unashamed, unafraid lord we know who we are"
we are your people and we won't be silent
unified here us cry at the top of our lungs
You are our God and we will not be shaken

I see this battle cry of praise as something you would say in battle, and maybe even a battle for freedom.

Your Name High - Hillsong

this song says, "Upon that cross you gave yourself for us, carried into your freedom."
Again singing freedom over our lives.

This is our God - Hillsong

"freely You gave it all for us" freedom comes with a price and that price for us is Jesus...enough said.

Prodigal (Chorus) - Michael Gungor

I love this song Prodigal by Michael Gungor. The story of someone who took advantage of earthly freedom and found that it is a dead end but then comes around to find freedom in the Father. And so I threw in this chorus as a tag out of 'This is our God' and we just sang these words, "Nothing Compares to what You've done For Me" to remember we are free through what Christ has done for us and the sacrifice made.

You'll Come - Hillsong

we started this song with the bridge, staying in a moment of worship, singing, "Chains be broken, lives be healed, eyes be opened, as Christ is revealed" again breaking free, freedom in Him. And then we just praised God in singing the rest of this song, knowing that he has freed us and let me say 'He did Come' in this service.

Commitment Song:
Center - Charlie Hall

As with all commitment songs I worked with the speaker on this song, to talk to them about there message, to find a song that really would fit and cause people to reflect and receive revelation on the Word that was given to them. When we did this song in one of the services people immediately stood up and started worshipping without any invitation to or anything, it was powerful.
