blue book

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…

Yesterday was one of our "OMPC sometimes has a different musical style" worship services - as we had fiddle, bass, piano, and acoustic, and a single female voice for leadership as opposed to our normal setup of full band and praise team (or choir). We opened yesterday with Come Ye Sinners. After our call to worship we sang Relentless, I Lift My Hands, Jesus What a Friend for Sinners, and Lead Me to the Cross. Our offering song was Mercy. If you're looking for this week's Blue Book song, you can find I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say below [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AmFu58Tk2Y?rel=0&w=560&h=315] I hope you'll join us…

We don't have our normal recap this week, as yesterday was our Kids Musical Please Come Home, written and directed by my Auber-talented wife, Mandy. Based on the parable of the Prodigal Son, Please Come Home follows the Biblical story, as well as a parallel modern-day version, where we experience the heartache of a Father, and His relentless pursuit of BOTH of his sons - the one that left, and the one that became angry when the Prodigal returned. If you're interested in more details about the musical, or would like to purchase it for use at your own church, you…

Yesterday was time-change Sunday.  We should, one time-change Sunday, yell "surprise!" to all the people that forget to set their clocks and come in an hour late... That'd be funny right? Yesterday's service was based around the #bluebook devotional thoughts on "God's Voice."  The #bluebook song of the week is Matt Redman's Blessed Be Your Name - and i've included his recording below.  You can also find Carrollton's recording of our communion song Tell Me. We opened yesterday with Because of Your Love. After our call to worship we sang Shelter, Blessed Be Your Name, Be Still My Soul, and O Come to the Altar. Our…

We concluded our two-week World Missions Conference yesterday with a message from Bob about Faith Promise - OMPC's vehicle for giving to missions work.  We also continued in our #bluebook series with week 50 - "Give Your Life Away" - so make sure you flip to week 50 if you're keeping up with us. We opened yesterday with White Flag. After our call to worship we sang This is Amazing Grace, Your Grace Finds Me, Take My Life, and Savior King. Our offering song was All the Poor and Powerless. If you're looking for the tune mentioned in Week 50 of the BlueBook "For All the…

We kicked off our week-long World Missions Conference yesterday with the choir, and a great sermon from David Montgomery, visiting us from Northern Ireland.  Grab the sermon audio from iTunes if you missed it! We opened yesterday with Let Creation Sing  - a perfect tune for Missions, by Hillsong. After our call to worship we sang Jesus Shall Reign, Amazing God, Hear Us From Heaven, and No Other Name. Our offering song was a new (to OMPC) tune called All the Earth. If you want rewatch the clip that Monty showed at the beginning of his sermon - you can view it here...

It's always an exciting challenge leading worship with no voice - but nevertheless, we have a congregation that loves to sing!  So yesterday ended up being a great opportunity to just mouth some words and let the congregation fill in the rest! We opened with Lord Most High - which is also the #BlueBook song of the week.  If you're looking for a recording of it - you can find a youtube embed from Hillsong at the bottom of this post! After our call to worship we sang Arise, Good Good Father, The Stand, and Holy Holy Holy. Our offering song was At the Cross…

We continued in our Blue Book series yesterday with the beginning of week 2, and sang about God's undying love for us, and our identity within that love. The song for your devotional this week is a song called Arise by Ryan Long - you can listen to it here: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK7V4KesA2o] Bob also made mention of a song in his sermon yesterday called Flawless by Mercy Me.  You can check out that powerful music video here: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjLlLPZderk] For worship, we opened with a tune from last week called Great Are You Lord After our call to worship we sang Lay Me Down,…
