Worship Set

This past Sunday was a good day. We celebrated the Lord's Supper and heard a tremendous message from Luke 8:22-39. I have read that passage countless times and have preached on it myself but it was fresh and new this past Sunday. P.J. shared about about without Jesus we in bondage even though we may not have physical chains on us (Gerasene demoniac) and that the most sane thing we can do is to sit at the feet of Jesus.

Our worship set moved from the proclamation of the greatness of Christ to his sacrifice for us then into the Lord's Supper. After that we proclaimed His power and finished with singing of His awesomeness.

Praise Adonai - Am (Baloche)
Welcome
How Great Is Our God – G (Tomlin)
Jesus Paid It All – A (Hall, Nifong, Grape)
Lord's Supper
Here and Now - G (Baloche, Brown)
King of Glory – E (Powell)
All Hail the Power – E – F#(Baloche arrangement)
Sermon
Indescribable – G (Story)

I know it may seem like I am a Baloche junkie, but I'm not. I love his style and it works well for our congregation.

As we finished up the service with Indescribable it was one of those moments which were so incredibly rich I did not want to stop. Ours is not a congregation that is given to a lot of expressive emotion (although it is changing) but at the last chord there were shouts and applause that burst forth as if a river had just shattered a dam. I try not base the "success" of a service based on emotion but this Sunday people seemed genuinely moved and challenged. I believe that many people caught a glimpse of Jesus that they haven't seen in awhile. Jesus, the God-man who is sovereign over the storms in our lives and has the power to put in our right mind.

Peace!
