Jenny Pruitt filled in for me at Oak Mountain, and did a stellar job. STELLAR. They opened with What a Savior After the call to worship they sang Sing to the King, O Worship the King, Mighty to Save, and You Alone. For the offering song - Sharla sang You Gave Your Life Away. Choir sings this week. Not too late to get plugged into choir - especially for all of you that read this blog from out of town. Just drive in on Wednesday nights . . . right? Choir also sings on March 28 for our 2010 Palm…

We had quite the busy morning yesterday. The only thing we didn't do in the worship was celebrate the Lord's Supper - which we do next week - 2/14. You can find Bob's questions to prepare right here.We opened with a new song off the Glory Revealed 2 CD called Rejoice in the Lord.After our call to worship, we sang O 4 a 1000 tongues, quite a bit quicker than "usual" with the David Crowder Chorus. I really think that it brought new life to the song - and the congregation seemed to respond well. We also sang Not to…

Yesterday marked the beginning of our 2010 Global Missions Conference. Lots of missionaries on campus this week - displaying their cultural and ministerial wares and allowing us to actively engage in their overseas ministries through prayer, financial support, and hopefully for some - a commitment to long-term missionary status.Yesterday we opened our service with Awesome is the Lord Most High.After our call to worship we sang Arise, Immortal Invisible, The Solid Rock, and You Never Let Go.We didn't sing an offering song this week - as we had quite a few things going on during the service, including some missionaries…

We had a great time of worship yesterday morning. The choir sang - and I really enjoy choir Sundays. The more people that we can get involved in leading God's people in worship, the better - We opened with a new song called What a Savior. After our call to worship we sang Amazing God, Everlasting God, Amazing Grace (Chains are Gone), and Your Name (Baloche). Our offering followed immediately with Revelation Song - with the choir and Lauren Roberts. We also heard the now 3-year-old recording of Drake reading about heaven. You can hear it on the side-bar of…

Everything seemed back to normal yesterday for our Sunday morning services - Normal times - 9 and 10:30. Bob was back, and started a series on Jonah. Life groups started back last night, as well as kids quest and kids choir. If your kids aren't in kids choir - and they're free from 4:30 to 5:30 - you should consider it. It's great musical training for kids.We opened our service with No Other Name by Todd Fields.After our call to worship we sang Hosanna (Baloche), Search Me, Come Thou Fount, and The Stand (Hillsong).Our offering song was Glory to God…

I took some time off. It was refreshing. I closed down the email, the work phone, and my cell phone voicemail indicated I was not likely to return calls until today (the 4th).December was good, and great, and long, and tough . . . and I missed my family during it - but reconnected with them over the break.On Sunday December 20 - my wife and I celebrated 12 years. We went to Atlanta for the evening, and ate at our favorite restaurant . . . But that morning, we had a normal worship set, and a full praise band.…

Great morning of worship last Sunday. I had some good time off the week before with the family, and it's always good coming and kicking off the advent season at Oak Mountain. My encouragement to the congregation was that as we worship though advent - we continue to sing praise songs, intermingled with carols. As we consider the 1st advent (Christ's birth), and the 2nd advent (Christ's return), my encouragement is that we embrace the texts of those praise songs in the context of an advent setting - singing words like "remember your people, remember your children, remember your promise,…

Yesterday was Christ the King Sunday. I wrote some about that last year.We opened up with Famous One.After our call to worship, we sang Arise, Open the Eyes of My Heart, Rejoice the Lord is King (set to Tiny Dancer), Your Name, and Agnus Dei.I had a conversation with someone once at another church that suggested that AG-nus, Dee-I, was a really good song.For our offering - Alicia sang When Love Takes You In (Chapman).We're out of the office this week. See you Sunday! Happy Thanksgiving.
