EASTER

Yes people it's Easter time already.
I'm going away for the weekend tooo... camping... hmmm this will be interesting.

Last Sunday in church as I've mentioned was Lucas' dedication (Ps Sam's Son) and it was also Palm Sunday which I only realised that morning.
As I was reading the chapters on Palm Sunday in the bible (I read it from every book of the gospel) I really got this sense that even though from one week to the next our love and passion for God changes, like in the story of Palm Sunday when they worship Jesus one week and crucify Him the next, Gods love and Passion for our lives will never, never, never end or fade.
So I shared that with our church (which was full of unsaved friends and family there for the dedication.) and then in a very God ordained moment our Communion message basically flowed right into that as well as the well known scripture from Hebrews 5:13 was shared... 'he will never leave you nor forsake you'
God is Real, that's all I can say.

So this week our Easter theme is 'HE LOVES'
of course this in reference to you. ha

Our songs are a mix of old school right up to brand new school here they are:
Good Friday- Luke Taylor (WL)
Your Name High- Hillsong
At the Cross- Hillsong
Easter Sunday AM- Vivian Muraahi (WL)
Alive in You- Hillsong
Happy Day- Tim Hughes
Stones been Rolled Away- old school Hillsong
Stronger- Hillsong (NEW)
Same Power- Hillsong
Hallelujah- Planet Shakers
Easter Sunday PM- Nikki Shaw (WL)
still waiting for her list! haha

So my expectation is rising and I know this will be a great Easter weekend.
Don't forget that He Loves You!.

5 Boys

I'm trying to find more time to blog more often, but man life gets hectic sometimes.

Last Sunday was great! I brought forward an old favourite 'More than Me' (one that i wrote) and it was great to once again hear the church singing above the sound system! There was a great atmosphere of faith and expectation which carried on into our baptism service. 5 boys got baptized, that's right FIVE, no girls just boys! haha. awesome hey.
On Sunday night I went to the Recording of the new Hillsong album, and boy are they getting better each year. Some of the lyrics in the worship songs are amazing, brought me to tears!
So looking forward for that to be released in July.

This week in church were having Ps Sam's son Lucas dedicated. So I kept that in mind for the song selection, hope it proves to be helpful.
so the songs this week are:
You'll Come (Hillsong)
I will Stand /Pour is out (GoodNews)
Run (Hillsong)
Here I Am (the song that i was talking about in my very first blog)

We also have a guest speaker, Ps Vince Harris this Sunday morning, so I look forward to hearing a word in season from him.
Hope everyone is having a great week.
God Bless

New Addition

I've decided to give my blog a bit more purpose and so think it worth while to include the set lists of every Worship Service at my Church in this blog.
Also I'll add some background thoughts on why I've selected these songs and then possibly a reflection the past weeks "going on's."

Last week we had two great services, the Presence of the Holy Spirit was evident and the band were tight!
We sang "The Stand"{Hillsong United} in both services which served to stir up the church. Almost by accident (I say almost because as if God didn't plan it) the theme verse for Sunday was Hebrews 4:14-16 which declares "Therefore... let us approach the throne of grace with CONFIDENCE..."
What an amazing verse about Jesus' perfect life allowing our imperfect one to enter into the Divine Presence of God unashamed of our past sins.

This coming week we have baptisms so the songs will attempt to reflect the theme of a life changed and living for God. (which would also be our theme for the year 'Heart for God' ha)
Not Ashamed- Hillsong
More than Me- GoodNews
A Cry from our Hearts- GoodNews
Heart of Worship- Matt Redman

Hope this blesses and inspires you to seek after God even more so in your daily life and worship times.

Birthday Day

Listening to this song, TODAY by Christian City Church Oxford Falls
Can't explain enough how this song is speaking to me.
These are the words.

Chorus:
No more running wild
I'm yours for life
You got me here,
You got me.
I hear your call tonight
Your heart is mine
You got me here
You got me.

and the bridge:
You drew me out of the deepest sea, whoa
You gave my soul a song to sing, whoa
You took me up on the mountains high, whoa
I see my life in a different light, whoa

if you get the chance listen to it.

I've got so much more to say but it will have to wait for another day.
Reading Hebrews at the moment, got the whole youth leadership team to read it also and i think God is speaking loud and clear to all of us.
