Sunday Set List: “Rejoice in all things”

In our Sunday morning prayer, thankfulness was emphasized in a big way. Everyone went around and we just thanked God for everything he’s done in our lives.

Sunday Set List: “Pedals get baptized”

This past Sunday we were baptizing people on stage during worship. I truly love and cherish these times. So awesome to see people proclaim their devotion to Jesus publicly.

Sunday Set List: “Our only prize is Jesus, is that enough?”

This was a weighty Sunday for me as I prepared a financial update from the church to share with the body. There wasn’t really any good news I could deliver except that we worship Jesus and he can change our hearts. I attempted to lovingly but firmly expose our sin of greed and money worship [...]

I got the sense at that point this might be one of those “challenging” days. Sure enough during rehearsal we had plenty of technical issues. Cords failing, [...]

Sunday Set List: “Baptisms and Jesus vs Cardinals rematch”

2 weeks ago the Cardinals were playing the Eagles on Sunday and many chose to worship the Cardinals instead of Jesus. I was looking forward to this Sunday’s rematch to see who would come out on top. Jesus is a jealous God and didn’t take that loss well. Jesus came back strong, really on his [...]

Sunday Set List – “Our Christmas Testimony”

This week was a very special service for us. We looked at the lives involved in the birth of Christ and did some video interviews with people in our church who’s testimony can relate in some way to those lives in scripture. As each character was examined we’d do a worship song to introduce and [...]
