Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – June 11, 2017

Yesterday's service gave us the opportunity to be reminded of the sustaining, life-giving breath of God.  Our time in worship reflected on the importance of His breath empowering every part of our being, and reminded us of our desperation for His very breath to always be moving, working, and breathing within us. We opened yesterday with All Because of Jesus. After our call to worship we sang Hosanna, Breathe on Me Breath of God, Breathe, and O Come to the Altar. Our offering song was Great Are You Lord (from All Sons and Daughters), and our communion tune was Breathe In Me, from Michael W Smith.

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – June 4, 2017

It was great to be back at OMPC yesterday after a Sunday away on vacation.  We continued in our Blue Book series with "Following and Being Led." Our worship set was designed around the theme of whole-hearted devotion, sacrifice and surrender.  For me, a key verse for surrender is always found in the 3rd verse of O Worship the King - "Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in You do we trust, nor find you to fail..." I'm always forgetting that I am that frail child of dust - my trust is too often in what I'm able…

Ok ok... so it's Thursday.  But if you're checking a blog on Memorial Day to find out song names, you're doing holidays wrong... I was out on Sunday and Jeff Sauceda led worship.  Always does a fantastic job! They opened with Psalm 100. After the call to worship they sang You Lifted Me Out, White Flag, Lord I Need You, and Take My Life (the Passion version). The offering song was Come As You Are, and the communion tune was Jesus Messiah.

Jason's Disney Insider Tips, part 1

We are Disney fanatics.  We love it.  There's something about the customer service, the commitment to a unified vision, and the fervent pursuit of excellence that is attractive, inspiring and motivating about a trip to Disney.  From the street sweepers, to ride-loaders, to customer service agents, and managerial level - the employees (known as cast members) are lock-step in full commitment to bringing a top drawer experience to the customer.  The design is incredible, the logistics are impeccable, and the simple act of a visit can easily become a lesson in customer service, and guest experience. We (the Sears Family)…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – May 21, 2017

Bob was back in the pulpit yesterday as we continued our series in the Blue Book Devotional.  Yesterday's theme was "Loved By God" - which paired so nicely with some great tunes that remind us of God's love for us... We opened with Because of Your Love. After our call to worship we sang Our God Saves, Good Good Father, I Stand Amazed, and How Deep the Father's Love For Us. Because Bob used the Zephaniah 3 passage for his sermon - we paired that with one of the best song settings that I've ever known for that passage - He Will Rejoice, written by Scott…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – May 14, 2017

Our kids led in worship yesterday, as has become tradition here at OMPC, especially for Mother's Day.  Always great to be led by the kids - they're such a wonderful reminder of our posture/position in worship.  Their often uninhibited freedom is enviable, as they haven't lost the desire to use their bodies, arms, and hands in worship. We opened yesterday with Let the Praises Ring. After our call to worship we sang Song of Love, The Solid Rock, By Faith, and Lay it Down. Our offering song was a tune that my wife Mandy wrote a few years back called One Mother's Prayer. If you're looking…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – May 7, 2017

Hard to believe we're already into May - next Sunday is Mother's Day, and the kids will be leading us in worship.  Love it when the kids lead in worship - almost as much as I love choir Sundays - of which, yesterday was one.  Love our choir at OMPC - and yesterday was a rare "show up and sing" Sunday, as we had no official rehearsals beforehand.  Almost impossible to get folks out for rehearsals in May, as school years are winding down, business trips and ball clubs are winding up, and folks are longing for summer.... We opened…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – April 30, 2017

Bob was out yesterday and Mark Long - our Youth Pastor, preached on the Blue Book week "Chosen By God." We opened with Jesus - a new tune to OMPC that we introduced during our Palm Sunday service. After our call to worship we sang All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name, How He Loves, Let it Be Jesus, and To Him. Our offering song was All Sons and Daughters' All the Poor and Powerless. This week's #bluebook song isn't a tune that I'm familiar with, from Maranatha Praise called Jesus You Are Lord.  If you're interested you can find a youtube recording below... [youtube…
