Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – July 16, 2017

I was out on vacation Sunday and Jenny Pruitt filled in for me.  Always great to have such a host of talented people able to lead OMPC well. They opened last Sunday with All Because of Jesus. After the call to worship they sang Joyful, How He Loves, Never Let Go, and Great Is Thy Faithfulness The offering song was a Jenny Pruitt original called You Go Before. Join us in just two weeks for our 14th annual Bullfrog Choir - the opportunity every year for all men (and their sons) of OMPC to come together on the stage to sing and lead our congregation…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – July 9, 2017

Micah McElveen from Vapor Ministries preached yesterday at OMPC.  Great guy with a tremendous passion for the impoverished, and a great vision for reaching the ends of the earth.  We continued our BlueBook themes this week with "Letting Go."  The illustration I used as we intro'd the "song of the week" was that of letting go those things that we cling to so tightly.  Much like a two-year-old, grasping and obsessing over whatever toy they're playing with, until a parents walks into the room - where the kid drops the toy, throws his arms in the air in surrender... letting…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – June 25, 2017

We're halfway through our Blue Book series. If you haven't joined us, it's never too late to grab a copy and join OMPC in walking through this devotional.  Yesterday's sermon was on "Naked" and so our worship set was based around Psalm 30 (joy comes in the morning - God pursues us, and brings us out of shame). We opened with a new tune for OMPC called Glorious Day from the Passion folks over in the ATL. After our call to worship we sang You Lifted Me Out, Jesus, Jesus Paid it All, and What a Beautiful Name (Hillsong). Our offering song was Jesus I…

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...

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…
