Sunday Setlist - 3rd February 2013


Today was Jackie Nurney's first time preaching - following the prompting of the Holy Spirit to be obedient and to be brave and get on and 'just do it'. So good to see the church responding to the vision being cast by the leaders - use the spiritual gifts given to you; we are all the church - not just the 'pastor'.

It was a good service with lots of substance and things to think about. As far as the structure goes, things were a kittke different in that we had a couple of songs eariler on in the meeting followed by the sermon. Then communion and a longer time of singing was set aside after the sermon to invite a response. It worked well.

It was also great to introduce a home-grown song 'Perfect Love' that worked very well and was easily picked up by the congregation - a keeper I think!

The List:

All the earth will song your praises - Paul Baloche             
Jesus Your Are Mercy - Brenton Brown
Lord I Need You - Daniel Carson , Kristian Stanfill , Christy Nockels , Matt Maher , Jesse Reeves
Perfect Love - Matt McChlery, Sally Johnson   Listen Here     Chords Here
All I Once Held Dear - Graham Kendrick

Snot and Tears

I have just realised that I only began blogging about my journey with cancer since the diagnosis. There was a period of time while I was waiting for the diagnosis where God did some pretty amazing things and in a way prepared me to cope with what was to come. So I think I will tell you about it here - just so you can see the whole picture, including the snot and tears!

Are You a F.A.T Leader?

Image
It was some years ago now that I listened to a sermon that has firmly placed itself within my mind and has grown to become one of the cornerstones to my attitude and lifestyle of leadership. In the sermon, the preacher was referring to how we should approach living our Christian lives, but it applies itself equally well to leadership. The acronym F.A.T. was used to highlight 3 key points: F - Faithful Faithfulness can manifest itself in many different ways. Are we faithful to our church and its leaders? Do we contradict any gossip we may hear going on? Do we faithfully attend church functions even when we don't feel like doing so sometimes? Are we faithful to the people we lead? Do we turn up to band practise on time / turn up to help set up the room before a meeting? Do we model the behaviour, dedication and commitment we would like to see in others? Most importantly, are we faithful to God? Do we have a secret lifestyle or habit that contradicts our Christian faith? Will

Worship Setlist for the New Year

Image
As we enter into a New Year it is an obvious and natural position to ask God what he has in store for the coming year for you personally, and for your church. When selecting a setlist of worship songs for my church, whether it is for a special New Year's eve service where we welcome the New Year in together, or if it is just the first Sunday of the New Year when the whole church is gathering together, I think it is important to ask God if there is a specific song he has in mind for the coming season for your church. This song could be along the obvious lines of 'New Year = New Season' with a sense that we are moving into something new with God, we are progressing in our relationship with Him and becoming more like Him as we grow together in Christ. However, this is not necessarily the case. This year, for 2016 I believe God is moving my church through a transition. A time of pruning has begun and in the coming months we will need to navigate this change and challenge
