“That which is in us already determines our reaction to the message we hear.” Pastor Mark

It is a blessing to be part of a church where God’s Word is proclaimed boldly (thanks pastor Mark!), the congregation sings out (thanks to the saints at MLCC!), and the music team works together so well (you guys rock!). Today was an encouraging Sunday.

It Is Not Death To Die is really growing on me and our congregation. A very singable song with great words that are not covered in any other songs we are doing. It is great to find songs that add something instead of just rearrange the same words!

Not Of Our Hands is another song that is working well in our congregation. This is the first time Brian has led it and he did a super job with it.

Here are all the songs we did:

Sunday Set List #132 1/22/2012

We had a very emotional service this morning for a variety of reasons. It was hard not to sense God at work in our midst. We had several powerful testimonies for Sanctity of Life Sunday, and Pastor Mark brought a challenging message.

Brian passionately led the team this morning and the congregational response was strong. Nothing new in the mix, but the familiarity made for great singing. It was the first time I had played bass since November, and I enjoyed the change of pace.

Here are all the songs we did:

Sunday Set List #131 1/15/2012

We opened with Everlasting God this morning. Brad introduced the song last May and we have not done it since June. I went ahead and had him lead the song since he was playing guitar today. It’s a great song and a fresh one for us; the congregation responded well to it.

This was our third Sunday for Father Forgive Us. The team is pretty tight on this one and the congregation is getting there. I would imagine the lyrics to this song make it a hard one to sing for those who are not serious about their faith. As for me it’s a bold statement of faith and our driving arrangement reflects it. It is now one of my favorite songs.

The rest of the songs are well known by the congregation and the singing reflected it.

Pastor Mark had his regular hard hitting sermon this morning. He challenged us as to whether we are putting ourselves and others in the way to be blessed by Jesus. I know I can do better.

Here are all the songs we did this morning:

Sunday Set List #130 1/8/2012

It was a great Sunday to worship the Lord together with my brothers and sisters.

I opened our singing time of worship with a flat picking pattern on my acoustic guitar for the first verse of Before the Throne. The congregation’s voice was strong and clear and set the tone for the entire set. It is such a blessing to have a singing congregation.

I have gotten great feedback on Blessings. I believe God is really using it to minister to many in our midst who are really struggling. I have found it quite challenging to lead on the guitar (it’s really a piano song). It requires a lot of practice and my total concentration to do a credible job, but it is worth the effort.

This was our second week with Father Forgive Us, and the congregation’s response showed marked improvement; I can tell this song is going to be a keeper. Bold, hard-hitting, biblical lyrics and engaging to play and sing. It’s a great reminder of what I’m supposed to be about; definitely my kind of song. (My complete notes on this new song are here.)

Here are all the songs we did:

Sunday Setlist #129 1/1/2012

There is no better way to celebrate the start of a new year than by worshipping the Lord with my brothers and sisters.

Brad surprised and delighted us by jumping on the drums shortly after we began our rehearsal of the first song. He said Greg would do the soundboard! From that point on it was smooth sailing. After we made some adjustments on the repeats for our new song Father Forgive Us (my notes on this new song here), we were good to go. I was great to have the drums to add some drive and emphasis to the song.

We had lower than normal attendance this morning, but those that came, came to worship. We had a Spirit filled time of worship in song and a Word based sermon challenging us to an active, expectant hope-filled faith like Simeon and Anna (Luke 2:25-38).

Here are all the songs we did:

Sunday Set List #128 12/18/2011

4th Sunday in Advent

It is always exciting to do baptisms, and we had three this morning. We had to move the worship team because most of the team stands on the lid to the baptismal! We simplified things somewhat and reduced the instruments to an acoustic guitar and electric bass except for Celtic Christmas Blessing where we went with an acoustic guitar (Nashville tuning), mandolin, and electric bass. We were down on the floor and two feet from the start of the congregation, so we could really hear everyone singing this morning. It was clear, everyone loves the Christmas carols; what a blessing!!!

I was worried that for the call of worship Brian would use the same passage I read this morning in my Bible reading plan for devotions this morning. I breathed a sigh of relief when he chose a passage from Revelation. The passage also turned out to be the same passage I led for our Sunday School class this morning since we have been working through 2 Peter. When I sat down after the first set and opened my Bible to the passage for the sermon, I discovered it was the one I had already read to the congregation. It was one of those mornings were we were all on the same page.

It was a great morning to worship the Lord together!

Here are all the songs we did:
