Sunday Setlist: 3/15/09

It was the final week of our Irresistable Influence series. Our senior pastor was back and preached the final message as we focused on unending poverty and Deut. 15:11 and 24:17-22. We looked at what the Bible had to say about the presence and needs of the poor, both in regards to physical resources and being poor in spirit.

Leading up to the message, we spend some time remembering and celebrating God’s grace and mercy toward us. We tried our hand at the acoustic set today with piano, acoustic guitar, and congas. We also had two vocalists. It was different, but I think it went well. I’m not sure I did the best job getting the “acoustic feel” as opposed to just doing our normal style with less instruments, but we’ll probably do it again from time to time.

Service Content:
Welcome/Announcements/Greeting
Call to Worship from Matthew 5:3-10. (Had the two vocalists alternate reading the verses, and then I wrapped it up.)

Words of Assurance (a portion of a service here)

Message

I didn’t realize it, but our songs definitely had a Chris Tomlin thread to them this week.

“I’m Putting on the Love of the Lord” is a song from a project called “The Odes Project.” It’s a project that is taking texts from what people believe to be the first non-Psalms hymnbook of the early church and translating them and setting them to music. This particular one is a echo song that is pretty easy to catch on to with a great message.
