Journey of Worship

We began a new series this week that will take us through Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter. The series, called “Do You Believe?” is designed to help us again consider the claims Christ made about Himself and the evidence that proves those claims. In hearing the truth about Christ, we have to occasionally stop and ask ourselves, do we believe? Because if we believe, it will affect how we live, what we think, and what we do.

For the people who walked with Jesus during the final weeks of His earthly life, they discovered some amazing things about Him as He spoke and demonstrated God’s glory. Those same things can be as significant for us today. In this first week, we looked at the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead in John 11 and His declaration that He is the resurrection and the life. Read the rest of this entry »

Found this via Jon over at StuffChristiansLike.net (thanks). It’s a stop motion piece done with a ginormous amount of post-it notes. Very well done and very cool. There is also a “making of” video. The process is as impressive as the finished project.

Enjoy!

Found this awesome video through the North Point Media blog. Incredibly creative while making a point and clearly communicating the message. Check it out…

This is another great song from the latest album by Paul Baloche. It’s called “You Have Saved Us”. You can find out more about Paul and his ministry at his website. If you haven’t gotten a copy of “Glorious” yet, you can get the physical disc or digital download through Amazon. Watch Paul doing the song with his band, and then watch him as he talks about the song.

Enjoy!

This video has been floating around for a while now, and is on its fourth incarnation. As you watch it, think about this: As the world and technology continue to converge, how do we (a) use these tools to further the Kingdom of God, and (b) maintain distinctiveness as worshipers of the living God? Share your thoughts below.

While this isn’t necessarily a new song, it’s one that’s come to my attention lately. It’s a great expression of so many things, yet is a compact and simple song to catch on to.

We’re going to be introducing this song soon, and I hope it catches on.

Check out Paul Baloche and his band doing the song below. Enjoy.

Mark Smith Growing Up Story from Chris Gambill on Vimeo.

During our series “Grow Up!” about what it means to grow up in Christ, we are featuring stories of different people in our church talking about what God is teaching/has taught them about growing up and what some significant growth events have been for them.

Mark is a newer person at our church who has recently discovered what it means to grow up in Christ.

Yesterday, I watched an online webinar/broadcast of the discussion and tension many churches are still facing between reverence in worship and relevance in worship. It was put on by LifeWay Worship, and featured Ed Stetzer and Mike Harland talking about, debating, and answering questions on this topic.

It’s a tension that is still very strong and very dividing in many churches and among many Christians. Yet, if we can get a handle on this and a proper biblical perspective, we could go far in showing the world what it means to live and worship in harmony and that Jesus really does make a difference.

If you are involved in worship ministry in your church or just simply have a heart for worship, I encourage you to take an hour to watch this. It’s available on-demand at http://lifeway.com/RvR. Thanks to the LifeWay team for doing this.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

For August 20 and 21 (Thursday and Friday), Igniter Media is offering 50% off all downloadable videos. That’s right, 50% off ALL downloadable videos.

I’m a big fan of their stuff, and have used some of their stuff like “That’s My King,” “Together-Team Hoyt,” “99 Balloons,” and “Teamwork.” Their stuff is always well received and every time we’ve used one has helped to reinforce the truth of God for the congregation that day.

If you’ve never used their stuff, or have been waiting for the right price, don’t miss out on this offer. Check it out here. It ends on Friday, August 21. Enjoy!
