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 . . .

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

Even so . . . come quickly

Come Quickly, by Tommy WalkerHe'll wipe our tears away when dawns that final day All mourning death and pain will fade away And then we all will rise and meet Him in the sky When Jesus comes and take us all away I'm listening for the sound When the trumpet play's it loud I'm watching for the clouds to roll away 'Cause this day it is my hope It's all I'm waiting for When Jesus comes and take us all away Come quickly, come quickly Lord This world is not my home don't wait anymore

Worship in Spirit and in Truth

The Worship Ministry team met last night, and we continued a great dialogue on worship philosophy type issues. One of the things mentioned was God seeking worshippers in Spirit and in Truth (dialogue with the woman at the well). What does God mean? What is He looking for? What does He/will He do when He finds them?Last Sunday, we did a song called the Stand for our offering song. Let me say this about our offering songs - the main ACT of worship during our offering song is bringing tithes and offerings. I usually do a song that is more…

Monday morning recap for Sunday – March 22. 2009

We [Oak Mountain] were back from spring break this weekend. we opened our service with Awake My Soul, which is a tune I wrote set to a hymn text by Isaac Watts.After our call to worship, we sang Hosanna (Baloche), God of Grace and Glory, Break Through (T. Walker), and Draw Me Nearer. We then saw a testimony video from one of our members who has been out of work since November. We went from the end of the video in to Never Let Go (Redman).For our offering song, we brought back a tune that we did in last year's…
