Bob was back in the pulpit yesterday and continued his series through the book of Acts - sort of, taking a detour to 2 Peter... If you haven't subscribed to our iTunes podcast yet, you can do so by clicking here. We opened yesterday with a new tune called Your Love Awakens Me by Phil Wickiam After our call to worship we sang Unstoppable God, Rejoice the Lord is King, Center and Great Are You Lord Our offering song was also a new tune called Lion and the Lamb.  Written by Leeland and Bethel Church but we do the Big Daddy Weave version. Join us in…

I failed to post last week's recap, as I was enjoying a couple days on the lake. We opened July 1 with May Jesus Christ Be Praised After the call to worship we sang This is Amazing Grace, Crown Him with Many Crowns, Let it Be Jesus and In Christ Alone Our offering song was Greater (which may or may not have been set to Christopher Cross' Sailing Yesterday we opened with White Flag After the call to worship we sang Lay Me Down, The Solid Rock, Reckless Love and Oceans Our offering song was Lay It Down.

I'm helping out at The Edge this week with our Jr High and our incredible youth staff, but drove back yesterday to be at Oak Mountain.  Ken Jones was also filling in for Bob and preached on "Christ the Triple Cure." We opened yesterday with Glorious Day After the call to worship we sang Arise, Jesus What a Friend for Sinners, To Him and At the Cross Our offering song was a new tune that Jeff Sauceda introduced to us call The Lion and the Lamb. GUYS!  Mark your calendars for July 29th - our 15th Annual Bullfrog Choir.

I was out last Sunday and Jenny Pruitt filled in for me.  Incredibly talented and gifted!  So thankful for the amount of talent at OMPC. They opened last Sunday with Not To Us After the call to worship they sang Shelter, Blessed Be Your Name, Great is Thy Faithfulness and How Deep the Father's Love for Us.

This past week was VBS here at OMPC.  We had almost 600 kids, and another 225+ adult volunteers helping to make the week a huge success.  It's great to see so many different staff and ministries come together to help pull the week off! This week Bob preached through Acts 12:1-17 - on mystery.  As I contemplated and planned the worship set - the idea of mystery took my thoughts to amazement, which then led me to I Stand Amazed, and from there I built the rest of the set.  I'm amazed at the mystery of God's pursuit of me despite…

It was great to be back at OMPC yesterday.  Such a great privilege to worship alongside this great congregation.  Yesterday was one our "we don't normally have this musical style" with a fiddle, acoustic guitar only, and hollow body bass along with some percussion. We opened yesterday with Here For You After the call to worship we sang Jesus, Reckless Love, What a Beautiful Name and Lord I Need You Our offering song was a new tune for OMPC called He Will Hold Me Fast from the Gettys.

I failed to do a recap for last Sunday - but hey, i took a day of vacation... For those of you curious - Jeff Sauceda led worship for me, so very talented and SO capable of stepping in and leading so well They opened with O 4 a 1000 Tongues with the Crowder chorus After the call to worship they sang Joyful, Unstoppable God and O Come to the Altar The offering song was a new tune for OMPC called Lion and the Lamb  

We heard yesterday from Micah McElveen of Vapor Ministries about his testimony and the work Vapor is doing in Haiti to restore and transform the most impoverished communities.  Yesterday was also Pentecost Sunday - the day we celebrate the sending of the Holy Spirit. We opened yesterday with All My Fountains  with an appropriate chorus for Pentecost "open the Heavens - come living water..." After the call to worship we sang Soul on Fire, Immortal Invisible God Only Wise, Never Once and Great Are You Lord Our offering song was Holy Spirit led by Carlee Green Join us this Sunday for only ONE worship service at…

Yesterday was Mother's Day and our traditional "kids lead worship" Sunday - where our Kids choir, supplemented by anyone from the gym that wants to join in, leads us in worship (taking the place of our typical praise team).  It's always so fun, and a great reminder of the child-like faith, simplicity, and abandon that we're called to in worship. We opened yesterday with a Jana Alayra song called Treasure Quest After the call to worship we sang Victory in Jesus, By Faith, Here I Am to Worship and Lay it Down Our offering song was a Mother's Day song that my wife…

Yesterday was a "show up and sing" choir Sunday - as we've done the past few years on this Sunday (*this Sunday being a late-spring sunday where we haven't had weekly choir rehearsals).  We had a great turnout - so much so that it's probably time to start bringing out another section of risers.  Always a great problem to have! We opened yesterday with Even So Come After the call to worship we sang Everlasting God, Good Good Father, Praise to the Lord the Almighty and Waiting Here for You Our offering song was the new-ish tune from Matt Maher called Your Love Defends Me
