Just Another Melodic Monday - Who is like the Lord?

A Midweek Message: A Name for the Baby pt.3: The Lord

The angel announces to the shepherds that they would find a baby, who is "the Lord", lying in a manger.  In Jesus Christ, we find the highest authority and the deepest humility, and therefore our greatest hope.

Just Another Melodic Monday - Abide With Me

Having taught about "the armour of God" from Ephesians 6 on Remembrance Sunday, it seems right to share a hymn today that reminds us of the faithfulness of the Lord and the security we find only in Him.  "Abide with me" was written in 1847 by Henry Francis Lyte but this version, performed by Ross Martin and David Niemi, features the updated tune by Indelible Grace.

1. I need Thy presence every passing hour;
   What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
   Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
   Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

Just Another Melodic Monday - O Praise The Name

We recently gathered together as a church for a "song evening", when we learned new songs together.  One of those was "O Praise the Name" by Hillsong.  Here is a version of the song performed by This Hope, from their album "Stay".

The Midweek Message - Taste and See (Psalm 34)

In Psalm 34, David writes about a time when he was a desperate man and in serious trouble.  He recognises that God helped him and turned his life around, and so he invites others to trust God - to "taste and see that the Lord is good!"

Just Another Melodic Monday - Jesus shall reign

"Jesus shall reign" is a hymn by Isaac Watts about the return of Christ when "every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord" (Philippians 2:11).  The hymn was written about 300 years ago, but has recently had a chorus added by Keith and Kristyn Getty.
