A couple Sundays ago my band came up with a new arrangement to Come Thou Fount before service. I really liked the feel and I had an idea of doing these live recording sessions where we’d do it acoustically gathered around a single mic. So last night all us family folk had a few hours [...]

Sunday Set List – “Witchcraft on stage”

by on October 27, 2008 in Sunday Set List, worship

It was a innocent enough comment. Our “10 before” countdown video which warns people the service is about to start, to take your seats and get out of the cafe, was largely ignored. So as I welcomed everyone I noticed most were still milling about and said, jokingly, that they were rebellious. Blatantly ignoring the [...]

This morning’s blog hour of power brought to you by Mark…   “O to grace how great a debtor, daily I’m constrained to be” This is a powerful line speaking on how we are compelled every day to be in Gods debt because of his grace. In Eph 2:8-9 it says: “For by grace you [...]

by on May 8, 2008 in exposition

Part 6 in this series is brought to us by Kendra… “He to rescue me from danger, bought me with His precious blood” This hymn is rich with meaning and so doctrinally sound but poetic at the same time, I will do my best to expound upon this line. The first part, “He to rescue [...]
