Sunday Setlist - 24th June 2012


In church at the moment we are looking at the book of 1 Thessalonians. This week dealt with the end of chapter 2 and the start of chapter 3. When preparing the setlist my thoughts were focused on the trials and struggles that the church in Thessalonica were facing, and how they had to struggle against the culture around them to live a life for Jesus. However, the preaching took a different approach and focused more on the importance of fellowship. How living our Christian lives togeter with others is very important for strength and growth, and how being part of a church helps to facilitate this.

I initially thought that the songs would not really fit very well, but in the end they did. We need to support and strengthen each other during trials and tempatations. The two themes came together quite well.

So here's the list:

1. Strength Will Rise (Everlasting God) - Brenton Brown
2. The Desert Song - Brooke Fraser (Hillsong)
3. Lord, I Need You - Daniel Carson , Kristian Stanfill , Christy Nockels , Matt Maher , Jesse Reeves (Passion)
4. Becasue He Lives - Bill & Gloria Gaither
5. Purify My Heart (Refiners Fire) - Brian Doerksen
6. Still - Reuben Morgan (Hillsong)

'Lord, I Need You' was new for the congregation, but went down very well! In fact I'm still singing it now - a sign of a great song! I must admit we did tinker with the key to help to make it moe singable by everyone in the congregation, so we moved the key from the original B to F. This means we sing it all at one level and have got rid of the octave jump without loosing too much of the song's 'guts'. This is one we'll be singing in years to come.
