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.

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…

Greetings people on the interwebses . . . Great morning AND evening of worship yesterday at the Oak. Bob Flayhart returns to the pulpit this weekend - you'll not want to miss it.

Our offering song was a new arrangement of May Jesus Christ Be Praised (when morning gilds the…

Greetings blog readers . . . I returned to oak mtn after being gone last week - such a great time coming back to the church family that I love so much. We had our 7th annual bullfrog choir. Tremendous turnout, and a tremendous sound from over 100 guys belting out the melody. It's really quite amazing. We opened with Let God Arise. After our call to worship we sang Sing to the King, Immortal Invisible, Center (Hall), Be Thou My Vision, and Never Let Go. Our offering song was Surrender. Love that song. Love it.

Mark Clement filled in for me at Oak Mountain - and did a terrific job! Thanks to Mark. They opened last weekend with Famous One. After the call to worship they sang You Lifted Me Out, Happy Day (new to oak mtn - Tim Hughes), Holy is the Lord, and Jesus Paid it All. The offering song was Everything (Tim Hughes). Bullfrog choir is this week. Really looking forward to it.
