setlists

We kicked off our 2012 Global Missions Conference yesterday. Our conference this year is lasting a week as opposed to the normal 3 days.We opened yesterday with a new tune (to Oak Mountain) - Charlie Hall's Song of the Redeemed. I say it's new to Oak Mountain - but Patrick Bush has been using it for a couple years in the youth house. Speaking of the youth house - if you've got youth-aged kids and they're not plugged into the youth house - you're missing out.After our call to worship we sang You Lifted Me Out, All Hail the Power…

We celebrated Sanctity of Life Sunday yesterday - with a video testimony from Lisa Cleghorn. I'll post that up here later this week. We opened yesterday with Awake My Soul.After our call to worship we sang Because of Your Love, Search Me (Ronnie Freeman), Center, and Be Thou My Vision.Our offering song was intermingled with the video testimony - How He Loves by John Mark MacMillan.Next week kicks off our week-long missions conference.

Greetings interwebs, and Happy New Year.We opened worship yesterday with Come Ye Sinners. After our call to worship we sang Let God Arise, Our God Saves, Great is Thy Faithfulness, and When All is Said and Done.Our offering song was a Hillsong Grownups tune that I'm really digging called Stronger.For Communion we sang May Jesus Christ be Praised - an arrangement that came out of a hymn writing group that I was a part of years ago. We also sang Red Mountain/Karl Diggerness's version of There is a Fountain.Choir resumes this Wednesday (January 11) at 6 as we begin preparing…

We had the choir leading in worship yesterday. Choir Sundays have been my favorite Sundays.We opened yesterday with Our God Saves.After our call to worship we sang Come Christians Join to Sing, Hosanna, Search Me (from Ronnie Freeman), Center, and Jesus Paid it All, with the Kristian Stanfill chorus. Our offering song was a Matt Redman tune that we used last Christmas called You Alone Can Rescue.

There's something really amazing about the one-service schedule, seeing the entire church gathered in one room. The singing is vibrant, the fellowship is tangible - it's really a cool thing.We opened yesterday with a Hillsong Grownups tune called Forever Reign.After our call to worship we sang Let God Arise, Rejoice the Lord is King, Break Through, and Breathe.Our offering song was Everything.For communion, I sang Enough, How Deep the Father's Love for Us, and Breathe.The thoughts I shared with the worship team beforehand - we were standing backstage, and the thought struck me: The bookends of the worship set included…

I've had tons of requests for the worship order that we did the other night. For those of you that aren't at Oak Mountain, we lost a dear, dear sister, friend, mom to a long bout with cancer. She fought so well. Her faith was incredible and she pointed us to Christ in a way that few ever have.We opened her memorial service with Our God Saves.After the call to worship we sang Amazing God, You Never Let Go, and Be Thou My Vision. We then read together Question #1 in the Heidelberg Catechism (what is your only comfort in…

There have been few times in the almost 8 years that I've been here where we've totally thrown out your typical "worship order" and opted for something completely out of the box - and yesterday was one of those times.We invited in Curt Cloninger to come and share with us his "God Views" show. Absolutely incredible. I've known Curt for almost 14 years now. We met while working at Perimeter Church in Atlanta. I've been trying to get him in here since we moved - and yesterday was the day. If you don't know Curt - check his stuff out…

It was so good to be back with my church yesterday. I've missed them during some traveling, and it's good to be home. Also good to see such a great crowd for a holiday weekend.We opened yesterday with a song i wrote called Awake my Soul.After our call to worship we sang Your Grace is Enough, Come Ye Sinners, Great is Thy Faithfulness, and Forever Reign.Our offering song was Tomlin's Awakening.Our VBS starts in just one week. If you haven't thought about putting your kids in VBS - do so. It's a great experience, and our kids ministry does an…

Patrick and the youth worship team did an excellent job leading for me last week as I was out of town. I so appreciate not only his heart for worship, but his heart for developing young musicians - not just into better musicians, but into better worshippers. If you go to Oak Mountain and you read this, and your child is youth-aged and not plugged into our youth ministry, I'm not quite sure why - but i'd strongly recommend getting your kids involved.They opened last week with The Highest and Greatest (Tim Hughes).After the call to worship they sang What…

Always enjoy having the choir lead in worship. Choir Sundays are some of my favorite Sundays. We opened yesterday with a GREAT tune called You Lifted Me Out. After our call to worship we sang Amazing God, Everlasting God, Praise to the Lord the Almighty, and Amazed. Our offering song was Faithful God. Patrick and the Youth Group are leading in worship this Sunday. You don't want to miss it!
