Sunday Setlist May29th

You never know what you're gonna get on a holiday weekend, but we had very good attendance at church today. Some new faces and that's always encouraging. Sometimes I tend to glance at the new people and see what the Spirit does with someone who isn't used to being with us. Sometimes they worship openly as if they've been there for years, sometimes they kinda mouth the words, and sometimes they stand there and watch. And there's nothing wrong with any of those reactions, it's just interesting to see from a perspective where you can see everyone.

Our set for today was:

Arise (E)
Everlasting God (A)

Offertory

I'd Rather Have Jesus (Bb)
Here I am to Worship (F)
Healer (F)

Sunday Setlist May 22

We added a new wrinkle to our service today. In his prayer time, Pastor Robert heard from God that he needed to provide a chance for Christians to come forward during the music service to the altar. Sometimes, the invitation at the end of the service ends up being aimed at those dealing with salvation. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course, but he felt that we needed a specific time for the Christians.

Hymn Medley--
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms (F)
Are You Washed in the Blood (G)
There is Power in the Blood (A)
Our God Reigns (A)

Offertory

Your Name (A)
From the Inside Out (A)
**alter call
Break Our Hearts (G/A)


We had a wonderful response during the alter call. Many people came forward to pray, sing, worship, bow down, whatever their hearts felt. It's very humbling to be leading during a time like that.

Sunday Setlist 5/15

On a beautiful, un-seasonably cool East Texas morning, here was our set:

Just a Closer Walk with Thee (A)
Blessed Be Your Name (A)

Offertory

What Can I Do? (F)
More Love, More Power (Fm)
(In My Life) Lord, Be Glorified (F)

Pastor Robert is beginning a series entitled COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANITY. Today's message was entitled "Was Jesus Rich?" and just scratched the surface about what our culture considers "wealthy." One point referenced this passage in Paul's first letter to Timothy, chapter 6:

3 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4 they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 5 and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Where is your focus? Are the things that you strive for going to one day crumble? Good questions to ponder.

Sunday Setlist--May 8th

Sunday Setlist for Mothers Day, May 8, 2011

Melissa was on vacation this week, so Skip led the singing and did a wonderful job. For instruments, it was just me on guitar and Bo on drums. More importantly, the Spirit was there and took over, so that it didn't really matter who was leading the songs because the focus was on Him.

Holy is the Lord (G)
Hallelujah (Your Love Sets Me Free) (G)

Offertory--Skip played a recording of his quartet singing a special song called "Mother." It spoke of the wonderful love and many, many things our mothers do for us.

Offering (F)
He is Lord (F)
Draw Me Close (Bb)

The sermon's title today was "Mothers Asking Divine Direction." Pastor Robert used the story from Matthew 15:21 of the woman who's daughter was demon possessed. She was so committed and driven by love that she persevered until Christ rewarded her faith by granting her request. I'm blessed to have a mother who would do the same.

Be in prayer for our church, as we are seeking to reach out and grow and affect our community for Christ. The Lord is moving in our people and giving them desires to take on responsibilities and step out in faith. It's an exciting time because we know He is faithful.
