Sunday Setlist: 3/15/09

March 16, 2009 in Sunday Setlist with 1 Comment

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. Continue Reading…

Sunday Setlist: 3/8/09

It was the fifth week of our Irresistable Influence series. The focus this week was from Isaiah 58:1-12 when God speaks to the Israelites as a whole through Isaiah about how they are totally missing what is important to God. They are so caught up in doing their religious rituals, that they have missed the true heart of God in expressing justice and mercy to the people around them. They are making a mockery of God even in their religious expressions because they have nothing to do with God at the heart of them. Because of that, God is not answering them when they call and tells them that if they truly worship Him the way He wants to be worshipped, He will show up and empower them in a huge way.

I had the opportunity to preach the message this week, Continue Reading…

Sunday Setlist: 2/22/09

February 23, 2009 in Sunday Setlist with 7 Comments

This Sunday at Cody CMA, we were in week three of our six-week Irresistible Influence series. We’ve been focusing on what it means to be people and a church of Irresistible Influence in the world around us according to Christ’s command in Matthew 5:14-16. Our focus this morning was on the Sanctity of Human Life, a topic that we have not really focused on a whole lot before. It was a challenging topic, but one that was handled well by my senior pastor.

Our morning looked like this:

Welcome/Announcements
Greeting
Call to Worship from Zephaniah 3:14-17
Mighty to Save (G) (Fielding, Morgan)
How Great Is Our God (G) (Tomlin, Reeves, Cash)
How Great Thou Art (G-A) (Hine)
Prayer
Agnus Dei (A) (Smith)
Offering
Glorious (A) (Tomlin, Reeves)
Video: “99 Balloons” from Igniter Media
Message from Psalm 139
Video: “Psalm 139” by Amena Brown from Bluefish.tv
Reflection and Prayer
Blessed Be Your Name (A) (Redman)
Dismissal

Our first few songs were designed to flow together as a medley. It worked really well. In the first service, we had the prayer focus (dealing with confession) after Agnus Dei, but in the second service put it in between How Great Thou Art and Agnus Dei, We then hung on to the A chord as we introduced the offering and moved in Glorious. MIghty to Save is new for us, but the team is doing a great job with it, and I think the congregation is catching on.

The video we used, 99 Balloons, is a great story and really connected with people. If you’ve never seen it, you should watch it. We chose it because it communicated the value of life through a story and choices, and we didn’t want to inundate people with facts about conception which we felt they already knew.

The end video, Psalm 139, helped people reconnect with the Scripture. Amena Brown is an awesome poet. You should check her stuff out.
