Sunday Set List: “The Holy Spirit as our remembrance”

Tagged Under : Delirious, Hillson, Jesus Culture, John Mark, Phil, Sunday Set List, worship

Last week was one of those uneven worship sets where you just feel like it never really flowed well. This week went much better musically and overall flow wise. Corporate engagement was great too as I could tell most everyone was really focused on Jesus and not what was happening on stage. The band was more comfortable this week as well and I thought we played pretty well.

We played Burning Ones again but this time I read out of Luke 24 prior to the song to give some context as to why we are singing that phrase, “we are your burning ones.” Luke tells the story of Jesus’ appearance post-resurrection to the disciples on the road in chapter 24. They didn’t recognize him at first, but Luke says Jesus talked to the disciples out of the scriptures. Verse 30 picks up with the disciples eating dinner with the yet to be recognized risen Messiah:

Luke 24:30-32

When he was at the table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?

I love that Holy Spirit working in their hearts was part of the remembrance and identification of Jesus they discussed with each other. It wasn’t, “did you get a look at that beard of his? I remember that beard!”, but it was the work, word and power of God in their hearts that identified the Messiah.

I pray that the Holy Spirit would operate in those depths in our hearts. That we’d forever be sensitive and aware of the work, word and power of Jesus in and around us. That our hearts would burn with us, as the disciples said, for the gospel.

Top 5 Thanksgiving turkey dinner worship songs

Tagged Under : Delirious, funny, Jenn Johnson, Kathryn Scott, Kevin Prosch, Thanksgiving, Top 5, worship

(Report of original posted in 2008)

There are plenty of lists out there talking about “thanksgiving” worship songs, as in giving thanks to the Lord. That’s all wonderful stuff, but I think the question people are really asking is, what does the church have to sing about the actual Thanksgiving dinner. America has some of the best holidays, and thanksgiving dinner deserves to be sung about. Here are the top 5 worship songs for Thanksgiving dinner:

1. Hungry (Kathryn Scott)

This song is a perfect set opener, it acknowledges what we’re all here for. We’re hungry and we want turkey, it’s that simple. I think this song captures it perfectly:

Hungry I come to you for I know you satisfy
I am empty but I know your love does not run dry
So I wait for you, so I wait for you

Turkey always satisfies. Nothing better than a moist, properly cooked turkey, so I like the stance of faith this song takes and says, “turkey you will NOT run dry.” Lord knows there is also a lot of waiting, patience is so key on this holy turkey day. I end up repeating that last refrain over and over, “so I wait..for you…so I wait…”

2. O Taste and See (Jenn Johnson)

Romans 1:20 says that “God’s eternal power and divine nature have been clearly perceived since the creation of the world in the things that have been made.” Nowhere is that more clearly seen than in turkey meat. This song challenges us to taste and see God’s goodness, his eternal power and divine nature inside that turkey. And just as Romans says, once we do, we are without excuse.

O taste and see that the Lord is good
O taste and see that the Lord is good to me
You have turned my mourning into dancing put of my rags and clothed with gladness

The “clothing of gladness” sung here is obviously a metaphor for gravy. I love to clothe my entire plate with gladness gravy.

Sunday Set List: “Black hole of Phoenix”

Tagged Under : Bluetree, Delirious, Desperation Band, Edward Mote, help-portrait, Ryan Delmore, Sunday Set List, worship

sundaysetlist

Our church is located in what is commonly referred to as the “Black Hole” of Phoenix. Less money is spent in the commercial area around our church than any other area in Phoenix. We have a lot of lower class and working poor around us that need to be reached. We announced to the church that we would be taking part in www.help-portrait.com and invited all to join us.

Our church is blessed with a lot of creative people, artists, photographers, musicians, etc… So on Dec 12th we’ll turn our sanctuary into a studio and bring in the surrounding homeless, poor and needy folks and take their pictures. We’ll share the gospel, we’ll get to know our neighbors better and hope to be a blessing to them. I’m excited to be part of it, should be awesome. If you haven’t heard of the idea then see the video below. (Set list below video)

Sunday Set List: “Let our hearts revive”

Tagged Under : Bluetree, Delirious, Edward Mote, Hillsong, Kyle Campos, Sunday Set List, worship

sundaysetlist

I started the worship service with a Psalm that’s been on my heart and lips for the past week or so.

Psalm 69:29-32: “But I am afflicted and in pain; let your salvation, O God, set me on high! I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving. This will please the Lord more than an ox or bull with horns and hoofs. When the humble see it they will be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive.”

Checking the condition of our hearts is so important and even more so asking the Holy Spirit to revive it and set it straight. I love that this is a man(David) afflicted and in pain singing a song of thanksgiving to God. That was both encouraging and challenging to read. The worship filter of circumstance is so conveniently dangerous and pathetic, I think it’s important we combat it at every opportunity.

The body responded in worship amazingly well, the past 2 months or so have been such a blessing to be a part of. God has really been pouring out his grace upon us as a body and it’s not something I take for granted. I’m excited for what lies ahead and I feel a great sense of urgency about it.

We did a new arrangement of The Solid Rock hymn this week. I did a loop based off of the amazing E-pop arrangement. I thought it went over really well. I’ll try and get that loop posted this week, there’s a few minor adjustments I’m going to make. By the way, the original title for The Solid Rock hymn was “The Immutable Basis of a Sinner’s Hope“… awesome and amen.

Sunday Set List: “In desperate places, he paid our wages”

Tagged Under : Delirious, Hillsong United, John Mark McMillan, Ryan Delmore, Sunday Set List, worship

sundaysetlist

Our church is coming off 3 weeks of really a shift in mindset, heart and attitude in worship. God is moving in the body in many ways and it’s all being worked together for His glory. Our gospel communities are really taking hold, people are gathering around the gospel in diverse ways, diverse places with diverse groups and the relationships growing out of that are incredible. We’re in the middle of a brutal series called “Open Heart Surgery” that is attacking our idols and you can audibly and visibly see the impact of the truth spoken during the sermon. We have a lot of new people coming in, we have our membership in place, we’re in the middle of a financial shakeup(that’s good) and through it all the worship has been amazing!

This week we did John Mark McMillan’s “Death In His Grave” for our communion song. We did this song on Easter this year but hadn’t done it since. It is one of my favorite worship songs full stop, no qualifier needed. I could barely make it through the song and the congregation really grabbed hold of it. If you haven’t heard it, make sure to get it, the beautiful truth sung is just incredible. God is good, what a week.

Sunday Set List: “Adonai, a dead man you found”

Tagged Under : Bluetree, Delirious, Hillsong, Hillsong United, Kyle Campos, Sunday Set List, worship

sundaysetlist

Almost 1 year ago my family made a trip to Lake Tahoe for a family members wedding. We turned it into a nice vacation time and we just had a blast. But inside I was a mess struggling to deal with the financial burden my family was under. Our business had failed and the combined emotional and financial stress was intense. I woke up in the middle of the night shaking with my mind going crazy and I told my wife, “I think I may be having a nervous breakdown.” I’d never felt like that in my life, I’m usually a pretty calm and collected guy.

We prayed and really sought the Lord and asked for His spirit to heal our minds, hearts and give us wisdom on how to proceed. I really believe God answered those prayers because shortly after returning I was laid off with no severance and went unpaid for 6 months…with no savings. Had I tried to continue handling this weight by myself I may have jumped off a cliff, but instead those months of unemployment were one of the most fruitful times of my life and I thank God for it.

While in Lake Tahoe I started to write a song. The music arrangement came quickly and all I could sing over it was “Adonai“. I didn’t sit down with the intention of using that name for God, but I think God was trying to teach me what him being Lord really meant. I relented and laid down much of my life that I had retained Lordship over that weekend. The rest of the lyrics wouldn’t come until this last week and I decided it was time to sing it at church.

How well it went over I’m not sure, I’ll give it the same grace I give all new songs. A 3 week run and then we’ll review it. The song is called “Live or No Longer Live“, it’s a song of salvation and sanctification and Christ being honored whether we live or no longer live. Much of it is based out of Philippians 1. I will post details on the song and audio recording later this week.

Sunday Set List: “With shallow faith, God remains everlasting”

Tagged Under : Bluetree, Delirious, Kyle Campos, New Life, Ryan Delmore, Sunday Set List, worship

sundaysetlist

As I experience more and more of Christian life, and live in community with more and more people and share their experiences, I increasingly realize how little experience has to do with faith. I remember counseling a young man who said if God just did something powerful in front of him, around him or to him it would be so much easier to walk in faith. I stopped him and said no it wouldn’t be easier. If God came to you now and turned your water into wine, walked on water in your pool, rose your family from the dead it would make just as much difference to you as the disciples or the crowds. You’d be astonished but, the next day still have little increase in faith.

Faith is a gift of the Spirit, not an artifact of experience. This was moving in my spirit as we sang Everlasting God amongst a sea of uncertainty in the congregation. I think everyone in the congregation, including myself, needed a reminder of Christ as our rock, never changing, unfailing God. He is the same, extends the same grace, love and truth. The song is such a humbling reminder and confession of who our God is. He is good, he will provide, he will sustain, he will carry, he will speak, he will lead, he will illuminate, he will comfort, he will heal and he will rescue. Thank you Lord.

Sunday Set List: “May you be preeminent in all things”

Tagged Under : Delirious, E-pop, Hillsong, Kim Walker, Red Letter, Sunday Set List, worship

sundaysetlist After a week of resting, prayer, dialogue and study in Portland I was ready to come back home here in Phoenix and worship with my LCC family. I had a great time, it was really everything I hoped it would be. Thanks to Ish Jimenez and the rest of the band for stepping in and leading wonderfully.

I was seeking some revelation on how to breakthrough the wall that I felt in our church body in regards to worship. The Lord led me to Colossians 1:15-18 and that really articulated and brought truth to the disconnect that I was feeling in our worship services.

He[Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities–all things were created through him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.

I think I’ll expound on this in another blog post, but this bit of truth really rocked me and brought Christ into focus. Our church body values a lot of things, both corporately and individually. When we worship together, those sets of values are brought together and you see the disunity in it all. Amongst the body you see comfort raised high, you see family raised high, you see art raised high, you see many things raised high. But church, we must unite around the preeminence of Christ, that in all things he is valued most, placed highest and worshipped above all.

This is a big step for us to take next and there’s a lot of idols that need to be torn down. I’m excited to get through this because Christ will be glorified in it. Here’s what we chose to sing to Christ as praises to our King, that he might be preeminent in our worship.
