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 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.

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.
