There's something really amazing about the one-service schedule, seeing the entire church gathered in one room. The singing is vibrant, the fellowship is tangible - it's really a cool thing.We opened yesterday with a Hillsong Grownups tune called Forever Reign.After our call to worship we sang Let God Arise, Rejoice the Lord is King, Break Through, and Breathe.Our offering song was Everything.For communion, I sang Enough, How Deep the Father's Love for Us, and Breathe.The thoughts I shared with the worship team beforehand - we were standing backstage, and the thought struck me: The bookends of the worship set included…

Worship Order for Bridget Beasley's Memorial

I've had tons of requests for the worship order that we did the other night. For those of you that aren't at Oak Mountain, we lost a dear, dear sister, friend, mom to a long bout with cancer. She fought so well. Her faith was incredible and she pointed us to Christ in a way that few ever have.We opened her memorial service with Our God Saves.After the call to worship we sang Amazing God, You Never Let Go, and Be Thou My Vision. We then read together Question #1 in the Heidelberg Catechism (what is your only comfort in…

There have been few times in the almost 8 years that I've been here where we've totally thrown out your typical "worship order" and opted for something completely out of the box - and yesterday was one of those times.We invited in Curt Cloninger to come and share with us his "God Views" show. Absolutely incredible. I've known Curt for almost 14 years now. We met while working at Perimeter Church in Atlanta. I've been trying to get him in here since we moved - and yesterday was the day. If you don't know Curt - check his stuff out…

1. Favorite reason to not do a Friday Favorites this week - I've spent all week up at my parents' lake house in Seneca, SC. Great time not doing anything - which is also why i don't have any friday favorites this week - except for this picture, which i took last year. This is mom and dad's buck-wild Airedale named Hannah. Hannah gets pretty nuts around the pool - so I went over to the skimmer lid and stuck my finger up through the hole in the cover. She then spent the next 5-6 hours staring at the lid,…

1. Favorite reminder - [vimeo 23877328 w=451 h=250]2. Favorite dog tease - [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGeKSiCQkPw?rel=0&w=451&h=250]3. Favorite scrubs moment - Scrubs was one of my favorite shows - until the tragic last two seasons (seriously - they should have pulled the plug). Anyway - i've decided that an important part of the Friday favorites, at least for a little while, will be a favorite Dr Cox moment...[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL-8aTVl0Qc?rel=0&w=451&h=250]4. Favorite little kid rendition - [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t02B1u_Tt5Y&w=451&h=250]5.

Patrick and the youth worship team did an excellent job leading for me last week as I was out of town. I so appreciate not only his heart for worship, but his heart for developing young musicians - not just into better musicians, but into better worshippers. If you go to Oak Mountain and you read this, and your child is youth-aged and not plugged into our youth ministry, I'm not quite sure why - but i'd strongly recommend getting your kids involved.They opened last week with The Highest and Greatest (Tim Hughes).After the call to worship they sang What…

Always enjoy having the choir lead in worship. Choir Sundays are some of my favorite Sundays. We opened yesterday with a GREAT tune called You Lifted Me Out. After our call to worship we sang Amazing God, Everlasting God, Praise to the Lord the Almighty, and Amazed. Our offering song was Faithful God. Patrick and the Youth Group are leading in worship this Sunday. You don't want to miss it!
