Have You Walked Alone? A Devotional based on Battle Belongs
Posted on February 13, 2021
Ever faced a vast army? Have you walked alone down your driveway to see an angry mob glaring back at you waiting for you to cross the residential boundary line so they could attack? Would you turn around and run back inside? The story in 2 Chronicles describes a vignette like this and is the inspiration behind the song "Battle Belongs." The people of God find themselves facing a war they cannot win without help ... more
When The Road Becomes Rocky - A Devotional based on The Blessing
Posted on February 13, 2021
I remember when the worship team first introduced the new song The Blessing. It was one of the last in-person weekend services before the first wave of COVID hit our area. As these powerful words reached our hearts, the Spirit moved profoundly through our auditorium. One by one, people stepped to the front of the church, hands raised, hearts opened to receive the gift in the blessing. The echo of this melody prepared our hearts for what was coming. We didn't know how much we needed to hear this. The timely reminder that His presence surrounds us; how He hems us in both behind and beside. While our world waged war with the invisible threat, The Blessing reminded us that through every hour of every day, our Father's face turns towards us ... more
Can You Hear Him Calling? A Devotional based on Graves Into Gardens
Posted on February 13, 2021
Not sure if you have been there before. The sweet moments of intimacy with Jesus where you know His closeness, are moved by His word and experience the fullness of His spirit. Walking into Sunday services being so close, feet hardly touching the ground as you walk to the stage, grab your music...plug in your instrument. Those are tender, meaningful times of worship; sweet moments of connection with a deep sense of purpose. You hear Him call your name on that mountaintop knowing that He is pleased with you ... more

Introducing Hymn Sheets - Modern Worship Songs In Four-Part Harmony
Posted on July 16, 2020
Let's be honest, there are still a lot of people in our pews who appreciate the sound of four-part harmony -- and not just from the choir loft! We have experienced a major shift since the dawn of the overhead projector. That tool of the '80s and '90s was replaced by PowerPoint, ProPresenter, and a host of other programs designed to lift our eyes from hymnbooks toward lyrics projected above the stage.
Alongside PowerPoint and ProPresenter came a wave of new worship music that traded-in four-part harmony for catchy rhythms and smooth chord progressions. What we have gained on the stage with our refined worship bands, we have lost in the pews with our simplified melodies.
