The Midweek Message: A Statement of Faith Pt.1 God

As a church plant, we've been supported by the FIEC and anticipate adopting their statement of faith when we become independent.  We're therefore going through the 9 points of that statement during our Sunday evening services.  Here is part one, where we consider some of what the Bible teaches about God.  Although we look at a lot of passages in the Bible, I mainly focus on Psalm 90.

Just Another Melodic Monday - Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul

The title of my sermon last Sunday morning was "Faith and Doubt", and this hymn seemed a very suitable way for us to respond to the message.

The Mid-Week Message: No Truth Without Tenderness, No Tenderness without Truth (Matthew 10)

In this message, we explore the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 10, in which Jesus sends out his disciples to proclaim the message of the Kingdom.  He warns them of the opposition they will face, but also encourages them with the reminder that God is faithful and resourceful.  He advises them that they are to "be as wise as serpents and as gentle as doves", ie. that they must have both truth and tenderness.

Just Another Melodic Monday - What Mercy Did For Me

This is a new song to me, performed by Crystal Yates, Micah Tyler and Joshua Sherman. "What Mercy Did For Me" describes the transforming work of God that happens through Jesus Christ, taking us from "death and darkness" to being "called... from the grave", and then "living day by day by His grace".

Just Another Melodic Monday - I Got Saved

I loved the album of hymns that Selah did several years ago, but this song is from their most recent album "Unbreakable".  It tells a wonderful story and, with it being recorded in Nashville, I'm loving the country & western vibe!

Just Another Melodic Monday: O The Deep, Deep Love of Jesus

Encouraging words and beautiful harmonies in this version of the classic hymn, "O The Deep, Deep Love of Jesus" by Samuel Trevor Francis, performed by Audrey Assad and Fernando Ortega.
