Songs We Sing, 07/19 - 07/20/14 - Fellowship Bible Church

This week, we finished our series, "In Light Of Eternity." It has been a great and challenging series, with a ton of great teaching. I think I will be processing much of what I heard and learned this week for quite a while. You can watch the service and listen to the message here.

Here are the songs we sang together this weekend:

Pre-Service - "Soon" (D) [Brooke Ligertwood]
"Rejoice" (Bb) [Dustin Kensrue, Stuart Townend]
"This Is Amazing Grace" (Bb) [Phil Wickham, Josh Farro, Jeremy Riddle]
Message - "Living in Light of Eternity"
"Revelation Song" (D) [Jennie Lee Riddle]
"Hosanna" (D) [Brooke Ligertwood]
"Come Lord Jesus" (G) [Dustin Kensrue]

It was a solid weekend all around. Becky Tindell co-led for the weekend, and she led in some very moving and powerful moments on "Soon" and "Revelation Song." "Come Lord Jesus" has become more familiar to the church, and we were able to sing stronger together and make that our declaration to close this series. That song has also been a great opportunity for our team to stretch in playing in an odd time signature (5/4), and they have all stepped up well.

Overall, this weekend was a great celebration of the hope that we have because of Jesus. He has bought us with His precious blood, and He has secured our future together with Him!

Hope you had a great weekend, wherever you were worshiping.

Songs We Sing, 07/12 - 07/13/14 - Fellowship Bible Church

This weekend, we started a special short series about the end times, called "In Light of Eternity." We started on Friday night with Catacombs event, which was an extended Bible study time through the book of Daniel. We continued into the services Saturday with Pastor Joe preaching a message about the significance and importance of studying prophecy and the end times, and how we can begin to align our lives with the reality and hope we have in Jesus.

Here are our songs from this weekend:

"Hosanna (Praise Is Rising)" (G) [Paul Baloche, Brenton Brown]
"Hail The King" (G) [Zach Bolen, Brian Eichelberger]
"Come Lord Jesus" (G) [Dustin Kensrue]
"Lord of All" (A) [Kristian Stanfill]
"You Have Overcome" (A) [Bill Horn, Erik Oldberg]

We had a small band for this weekend, and they all did a fantastic job. We even pulled off a song in 5/4 time ("Come Lord Jesus"), which was a little crazy. It's hard to feel at rest in 5/4, but I feel that it heightens the tension and intensity of a song. At any rate, it was a first our team and for me to do a song in that time signature in a church service. It won't be the last, however (hint, hint). "Hail The King" seems like it has taken root with our church, while "Lord of All" and "You Have Overcome" are both firmly established as part of our worship vocabulary. It was a great weekend, and I'm looking forward to our Bible conference this week as we continue our intensive focus on our future hope in Christ!
