Perspective . . .

Mars Hill - Seattle keeps a blog that I read. Mark Driscoll puts his sermon outlines on the web every once in a while.I loved this point:2. Worship God Because Glory is Coming (1 Pet. 4:13)For Christians: this life is the closest you will ever get to hell.For unbelievers: this life is the closest you will ever get to heaven.This life and its troubles will pale in light of eternity.

Monday morning recap for Sunday – April 26, 2009 (on Tuesday)

What a great Sunday morning of worship . . . We opened with Cambridge's arrangement of Come Ye Sinners . . . A very appropriate musical tune for the text.After our call to worship, we sang Filled With Your Glory (Starfield), O Worship the King (with the Tomlin chorus), Hear Us From Heaven, I Stand Amazed, and When All is Said and Done (T. Walker).For our offering song, we introduced Face to the Ground, by Ronnie Freeman - get it on iTunes. Very congregational - i love the posture that's emphasized in the text.Next Sunday is our 20th Anniversary Celebration.…

Hello 4 people . . . Last Sunday we opened with Famous One by Chris Tomlin/Jesse Reeves.After our call to worship, we sang Amazing God, which I just love, by Brenton Brown. We followed that with Beautiful One, Search Me, and When I Survey/Wonderful Cross. If you're looking for a new song - check out Search Me by Ronnie Freeman. Great song writer. The tune may be hard to find, via a recording. I know it's on the JH Ranch Praise, disc 2.For our offering song, we introduced Center by Charlie Hall.

Easter Sunday Recap for Oak Mountain

We had a great Sunday at Oak Mountain. The thought that I've had preceding yesterday was this: What if we had the same fervor and zeal about Christ's resurrection the other 51 Sundays of the year! Facebook and Twitter were inundated with "Christ is risen!" messages, which are great - and He is - but He has been for close to 2000 years - our message shouldn't dramatically increase with Easter Sunday - it should be that exciting, that life-changing every Sunday, or thursday afternoon, or Tuesday at 9:15PM . . . And scene.Yesterday we opened with Let God Arise…

Videos from Palm Sunday 2009

Here are the three videos that we produced for last week's Palm Sunday program. The first was played in the middle of "Because of Your Love" by Paul Baloche. The second came right after "Hungry" by Kathryn Scott and before a new version of "Man of Sorrows." The 3rd preceded "Hallelujah, We Will Sing," by Tommy Walker . . . http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAAKXn9zyzXTyW6NoE_4ojujpzsP_n-5WOYbPgn4LgZ5DRKh68ltVflC3xjcgfT0A7qL-Wy__zcWD_rQBTn0Kif84CF2u098aMh3VSYW4mT7EO3DBuYCxUx4hUEqBZ0YvPqS_pXHiNKqmxUuQB8ITOfrlU-aG1aWCbYJyKfUnOag5669kxrB9kSxmgq144p0xpVML01dXvYJa6kWipLsWP2K-4K4JMpmHeC7xaOz-1enr7%26sigh%3DLcAwV45rydk7YeuWMXynBJi-ANo%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&nogvlm=1&thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D390e388167eb9121%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3DW7eg47Bnfikg5ak4UFV-Qyp4eYA&messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Denhttp://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAAO3T1daHheEeH3ZcEQIwEb_QwVs3yI20YB1sIx_U8g50CEdh7WxzcXc9hQjSkl2c_C3cZ_u4iPTgzXyDHjK3pOtnAwb1n6G5lCaagecFTGsOAtxuRcOiutWC11la0I4GMXW6UqFA1D6HC10kt3hfXUux9QsBMZdztZntAVIur5MFKctrlDRJW5UVRPmZzbQmkMeIxXoKkJxLRz2mClBubMzi7UFJtEOPs6NDSuYw3jce%26sigh%3D8ECeVztF0s-yFAX9XC3a4qJTW9E%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&nogvlm=1&thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D296dd2f499d5486f%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3D-iJSr8pB72tWimoHClVe1DkN3og&messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Denhttp://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAAEbqiT-pXmimn7VDny7-dKoc93vwvU6AegoaoB7LTXjiYpSHfByZm4Jfn1YI2youw9x2HV5OU0RNHujlnAYWxYgMUv1RbxH4Wa-nWzkgPAfPjiSrNn5398JhxnfkyNgHazrfCiJvjuRZeRxMJAWdkWf1SgPHRPR-fT6PX7yKz3DBB55f4nQznfnCWILbV9iaW6fnx45qaX7C6JBeGWUDshKFceMDfq8PwmtzfgTwW6jv%26sigh%3DZNUFurkOnt8i7RtXOVZ6zpuYgdI%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&nogvlm=1&thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3De236f96de0ac9758%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3DDNSJd6D6MJrhEUmj2hvKXUgc7y8&messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den
