Yesterday was home missions sunday. We got to hear from our domestic missionaries in our Sunday School classes - and celebrated having planted a church last year.

Communion service yesterday. Bob finishing the Gospel-Insertion point of the Gospel Pipeline series. Next week is Home Missions Sunday. We opened yesterday with a new song called I Will Sing. Straight out of the psalms - a great reminder of the exhortations in Scripture related to our posture in worship. After our call to worship we sang Sing to the King - with one of my favorite verses ever - "For His returning, we watch and we pray. We will be ready the dawn of that day. We'll join in singing with all the redeemed. Satan is vanquished and Jesus…

Bob is still continuing his series on the Gospel Pipeline. I'm convinced that there are so many trying to live out the Christian life - striving to be good - missing the whole point of the gospel - the sanctifying grace just as key as the justifying grace.If you haven't been listening - or don't know what i'm talking about - get the whole series on iTunes.We opened yesterday with Hillsong's Hosanna.After our call to worship we sang Your Grace is Enough, Indescribable, Center, How Great Thou Art, and He Knows My Name.Our offering song was a new tune (to…

We had choir this past Sunday. If you're looking for an easy way to get plugged into the church, meet new people, have a time of worship on Wednesday nights, and sing some cool music - you might want to consider joining choir. No singing experience is necessary - and it really is a lot of fun.You know that old lady that sits at the door and checks your name off when you walk in the room - and gives you that look of shame if you haven't been in a while? Yeah, she doesn't go here, and isn't allowed…

Bob continues his sermon series on the Gospel Pipeline - the foundation of the Christian walk - it's life changing. One of my favorite quotes from yesterday . . . "we can no more change ourselves by human behavior than we can save ourselves by human behavior . . . " What a contrast to most teaching . . . where we're saved and justified by faith - but our sanctification is left to our own behaviors . . . Anyway . . . we opened yesterday with Today is the Day (Brewster).After our call to worship we sang You…

Worship was a tad different, stylistically yesterday at oak mountain. We ditched the drums and electric guitars and had acoustic, piano, hollow-bass, and fiddle. Same programming, but a slightly different feel. We opened with What a Savior. After our call to worship we sang Awesome is the Lord Most High, Immortal Invisible, Come Ye Sinners, How Deep the Father's Love for Us, and Revelation Song. Our offering song was Not Guilty Anymore - and can be found on our latest LIVE recording. For communion we sang Endless Praise, a song I wrote, and Beautiful Things by Gungor. 9 songs. we…

Labor Day Worship services - always lower attendance . . . but that's ok - because those who were in attendance were engaged in worship and the sermon. Great morning.We opened with a new tune called Praise the Lord.After our call to worship we sang Because of Your Love, All Because of Jesus, Come Thou Fount, Hungry, and A Mighty Fortress (Nockels).Our offering song was Love is Here by Tenth Ave North - but we sang it in E, which i think is where it will stay for congregational singing.I'm off this week with a team from Oak Mountain to…

Choir led last weekend - I love choir Sundays - but I think i've mentioned that almost everytime I've done the Monday Morning Recap after a choir week.We opened last week with a new song called Praise the Lord - based on Psalm 146.After our call to worship we sang I Am Free, Prince of Peace, Praise to the Lord the Almighty, God of This City, and Surrender - featuring the amazing electric guitar talents of one Jack Swaim.Our offering song was Hallelujah, We Will Sing - by Tommy Walker.Choir begins rehearsing Christmas music in just 2 weeks! Special sneak…

Time is flying by. Before we know it, we'll be hanging Christmas wreaths. My parents always said that time goes quicker as you get older . . . Great time of worship yesterday morning. We opened again with Love is Here by Tenth Ave North. Great tune.After our call to worship we sang Hosanna (Baloche), Indescribable, How Firm a Foundation, Breathe, and When All is Said and Done.Our offering song was HIllsong United's Hosanna.Bob continues his series on the Gospel Pipeline next week.

Bob Flayhart was back in the pulpit yesterday - starting a brief series on the Gospel Pipeline. Even if you've heard it - it's always refreshing to hear it again. I wonder what would happen in the city of Birmingham if people started realizing that the Father's love isn't based on what they've done - instead based on what Christ did on their behalf . . . We opened with a new tune yesterday by Tenth Avenue North called Love is Here.After our call to worship we sang Amazing God (B Brown), Blessed Be Your Name (Redman), Lead Me to…
