We had a good time last week with Dan Allender preaching. Always a treat to get to hear him. Check out his sermon online at our iTunes podcast.We opened with Indescribable. It was indescribable. After our call to worship, we sang Hosanna, Our God Saves (both Baloche tunes), Enough (Tomlin), How Great Thou Art, God of This City. I really like God of this city.For our offering song, we sang Everything (T Hughes). Great tune. If you haven't checked out his most recent album - Holding Nothing Back, get it today from iTunes.Choir is singing this week. See you all…

My apologies.Patrick and the Youth Group led the church in worship while i was gone on vacation, two sundays ago. Patrick does an excellent job filling in - but does an even better job inspiring young musicians to get involved and use their talents to God's glory. The things they're doing over in the youth house are incredible. If you have a youth-age student and they're NOT plugged in, contact Patrick, or Mark, or Carol (the new female youth director) and get your kids involved.They opened up with Everything GloriousAfter the call to worship, they sang Let God Arise, Mighty…

The kids led in worship yesterday. I love having the kids - there's something genuine about their presence on the stage, leading, singing, dancing, jumping - or in the case of my 4 year old, sitting down and sulking. We asked him about it when we got home. His response: "I didn't sing praises to God this morning." Mandy: "Why not?" Drew: "I was upset that I only got to sing one song. I wanted to sing two songs to God."Hmm.Anyway - Some of the music was new yesterday. All of the arrangements were different. We opened with Standing on…

Greetings blog world, interwebs, facebookedness and twitterdome. I got back from leading worship at a conference in Baltimore on Saturday night around 7:30. It's always nice to come back to the home church after being gone.Yesterday's worship service was the Oak Mountain unplugged version - except that everything was plugged in, including the piano. We opened the service with All Who Are Thirsty.After our call to worship, we sang Amazing God (B. Brown), Indescribable, Blessed Be Your Name, It is Well, and You Alone (Crowder).For our offering song, we sang a song i wrote several years ago - a rewrite…

Labor Day weekend. We still had church. We opened with You Are Good. I added the bridge part - which proclaims "you are good, all the time, all the time, you are good." I thought it was a little edgier than normal, but apparently Bob thought it wasn't that edgy - and exhorted us with something even edgier from the psalms . . . which was cool. After our call to worship we sang Because of Your Love (Baloche), Search Me (Ronnie Freeman), Your Name (Baloche), Before the Throne of God Above, and Agnus Dei. I said this as we…

Yesterday was a full day at Oak Mountain. Bob's birthday, the launch of video announcements, and a guest artist.We opened worship with Awake My Soul - a tune I wrote a while ago set to some Isaac Watts words.After our call to worship, we sang Let God Arise (Tomlin), Our God Saves (Baloche), How Deep the Father's Love for Us, and Never Let Go (Redman)We then launched into our new video announcements.After baptisms, we had our time of offering, and were thrilled and honored to have Aaron Shust, Bethany Olds, and Shawn Lewis, all three out on tour with Glory…

Choir Sundays. I LOVE choir Sundays. This morning we opened with Tehillah (which means to sing a new song). After our call to worship, we sang Hosanna, Immortal Invisible, Come Thou Fount, Hear Us From Heaven, and Revelation Song. Our offering song was I Will Rise - a newer Tomlin tune, which was fun to arrange for choir. The next two weeks in choir we're going to be previewing our Christmas music, and preparing to lead in worship on September 27. Come join us. Bring a friend.
