setlists

Yesterday was the 2nd Sunday of Advent - the Bethlehem Candle, signifying the preparation for Christ.  Of course, the irony is that Bethlehem was the furthest from being prepared, which parallels us, so often unprepared to come to worship; unprepared for the work that we're longing for God to do.We opened yesterday with Our God Saves.After our call to worship we sang Joyful, O Come All Ye Faithful, Lord I Need You, O Little Town of Bethlehem, and Waiting Here for You.Our offering song was You're Here, sung by Kala Waldron.Join us this Sunday for our special Christmas worship service…

We kicked off the 2014 Advent season last Sunday with the Prophet's Candle - the Anticipation of Christ.  One of my favorite things to do is take praise songs that we sing during the year, and put them into the context of Advent, and specific "candle themes" for each week.  The same text that we sing during the year takes on a whole additional meaning!We opened with Relentless.After our call to worship we sang Your Grace is Enough, Come Thou Long Expected Jesus, O Come Emmanuel, and How He Loves.Our offering song was a great tune called Light of the…

We had a great morning of worship last Sunday as we welcomed back Bob from his mission trips!  And we're heading right into the advent season.We opened last Sunday with This is Amazing Grace.After our call to worship we sang Because of Your Love, The Stand, I Stand Amazed, and In Christ Alone.Our offering song was Let it Be Jesus.

Thanksgiving seems to be rapidly approaching, and before you know it, we'll be well into December, our Christmas worship service on the 14th, Christmas Eve, and then the new year.  My parents were right; time does go by much faster as you get older.We opened yesterday with This is Amazing Grace.After our call to worship we sang All Because of Jesus, Your Grace Finds Me, Great is Thy Faithfulness, and Enough.Our offering song was a tune I wrote called To Him.

We celebrated the Lord's Supper yesterday, and Greg Poole was here to continue our series in "The Old Testament Sings Amazing Grace."  Be sure to come back next week as Gary Purdy continues our series, while Bob is out on a mission trip to Japan and southeast Asia.We opened yesterday with Here For You.After our call to worship we sang Let God Arise, The Same Love, I Surrender All, and Breathe.Our offering song was Adoration from Brenton Brown, and the communion song that I sang was Come As You Are, from Crowder.Be sure and join us on Sunday December 14 for No…

Choir Sundays are always fun.  It's great to have a job where I get to serve and make music with such talented, energetic, and encouraging folks.  If you've ever thought about getting involved in choir - it's still not too late to join us for Christmas!  We rehearse every Wednesday night from 6-7 in the choir room.  Come join us!We opened yesterday with Never Stop Singing.After our call to worship we sang Amazing God, Lord I Need You, We Will Run, and How Deep the Father's Love For Us.Our offering song was Jesus Only Jesus.

Yesterday concluded our 2014 Stewardship Season at Oak Mountain.  It's a great time to be reminded of the need for surrender - not just with finances, but with our daily lives, and those things that are most dear to us....We opened with Awake My Soul.After our call to worship we sang Shelter, I Lift My Hands, Hungry, and Be Thou My Vision.Our offering song was This is Amazing Grace, and our pledge offering song was Waiting Here for You.

Hard to believe that we're over half-way through October already.Relentless - God's love is relentless.  The song we sang in the middle of our set repeats those words, over and over again.  Sure - it may be a "7/11 song" - singing the same 7 words, 11 times, but at least for me, I need to be reminded over and over again that God's love and pursuit after me is relentless even when I fail, time and time again.  So I have zero problem with us singing "Your love is relentless, your love is relentless, your love is relentless, your…

We're well into October here at Oak Mountain, which means college football, fall breaks and stewardship season!We opened our time of worship yesterday with The Church's One FoundationAfter our call to worship we sang Forever, Here for You, Lead Me to the Cross, and Jesus Paid it All.Our offering song was To Him - a hymn rewrite that I did a few years ago.Join us this Wednesday night from 6-7 as we continue to prepare for our Christmas worship service - Dec 14th.Check out the video that we showed yesterday highlighting some exciting mercy efforts in Birmingham!//player.vimeo.com/video/108842859
