Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – Oct 3, 2010

setlists
Bob is still continuing his series on the Gospel Pipeline. I'm convinced that there are so many trying to live out the Christian life - striving to be good - missing the whole point of the gospel - the sanctifying grace just as key as the justifying grace.If you haven't been listening - or don't know what i'm talking about - get the whole series on iTunes.We opened yesterday with Hillsong's Hosanna.After our call to worship we sang Your Grace is Enough, Indescribable, Center, How Great Thou Art, and He Knows My Name.Our offering song was a new tune (to…

Pat Metheny Orchestrion

personal, videos
I used to work at the Alabama Theatre - while attending Samford. It was one of the 4 venues that I worked live production around town. Sound, rigging, lighting, etc . . . Anyway - Pat Metheny did a show at the Alabama one night. I had never heard of him - but working the load in/out that day - i had the option of coming and seeing the show for free. I ended up showing up for the last 45 minutes, and sat entranced with his music and musicianship . . . this guy's incredible - and here's a…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – Sept 26, 2010

setlists
We had choir this past Sunday. If you're looking for an easy way to get plugged into the church, meet new people, have a time of worship on Wednesday nights, and sing some cool music - you might want to consider joining choir. No singing experience is necessary - and it really is a lot of fun.You know that old lady that sits at the door and checks your name off when you walk in the room - and gives you that look of shame if you haven't been in a while? Yeah, she doesn't go here, and isn't allowed…

Monday morning Recap for Sunday – Sept 19, 2010

setlists
Bob continues his sermon series on the Gospel Pipeline - the foundation of the Christian walk - it's life changing. One of my favorite quotes from yesterday . . . "we can no more change ourselves by human behavior than we can save ourselves by human behavior . . . " What a contrast to most teaching . . . where we're saved and justified by faith - but our sanctification is left to our own behaviors . . . Anyway . . . we opened yesterday with Today is the Day (Brewster).After our call to worship we sang You…

Worship Leader Lessons #13

Worship Leader Lessons
Don't wait for Atlanta to tell you what songs you need to be doing.You know the stories - those (worship leaders) that anxiously await the latest CD from [insert name of artist here]. And they might be in Atlanta, or Nashville, or Australia . . . and immediately download the charts, get their guitarists a new pedal, and try to emulate the exact sound and feel of the entire disc. Problem is, they're forgetting to attention to whether or not those songs are singing the soundtrack of their church, their congregation. Remember - it's so easy to assume that everyone…
