About
In a time when the lines between church music and mainstream music
have been hazed and blurred, Christian artists rooted in humility and
focused on exalting Christ are hard to find.
That's where Joshua Seller comes in.
Based out of Harvest Bible Chapel in Oakville, ON, Songwriter / Worship
leader Joshua Seller represents a breath of fresh air in both Canadian
church-culture and the larger Christian music industry too. Seller is
passionate about his art but also determined and mindful to eliminate ego
from the equation. No rock star attitudes here.
But don't let his modesty fool you. Having opened for Casting Crowns on
their 2009 Canadian tour, garnered mega-exposure for his song "Song of the
Angels" through CCLI, won "Scriptural Song of the Year" at the 2009 Covenant
Awards and, last but definitely not least, finished in the Top 10 in the
2002 season of Canadian Idol, Seller has definitely been a busy man.
"Through the Canadian Idol experience, God showed me a brief season of
fame," Seller explains. "The whole time I thought I could serve both God and
the World. But I was wrong." It was through releasing and touring a secular
album that God revealed that no fame could buy happiness for Seller. "I
remember getting to the point where I had to choose between Christ and the
world. I chose Christ because He revealed His love and grace to me in such a
way I could do nothing but choose Him."
Following these life changes, Seller found himself at Harvest Bible Chapel,
a church where he would soon put down roots with his family. Serving there
now as a full-time vocational worship leader, Seller's number one focus is
writing songs for the church and leading services there.
His progressive sound is built around songs that move and build - from soft
and intimate to big and exciting. Drawing inspiration from worship leaders
such as Chris Tomlin, Bob Kauflin, and Kristian Stanfill, Joshua Seller is
excited about being used as a Psalmist for our generation: Writing songs
that God would allow the world to sing to Him.
Seller is passionate about the church, plain and simple. "The heart of why
I write & sing is to make Jesus known and lead people into His presence."
Whether with local congregations in Ontario or on larger stages through out
North America, Joshua Seller's passionate songs and servant-heart will
continue to inspire and draw people in closer and closer to where God is
leading.

As we read through the founding of the church and disciples' ministries on earth, we can see that times were hard. Facing persecution, ridicule, and even death, the disciples cling to the hope of Jesus and his return to help them overcome these difficult times. We can also have this hope through our difficulties. Jesus gives his Holy Spirit to those who believe and follow him. We can have strength to overcome trials knowing that God is with us. We also know that one day Jesus will return and those who follow him will be united with him. These songs and hymns show how we can persevere in difficulty by focusing on the hope we have in Jesus and that one day he will return.
There is no match for the glory of our great God. Through whatever we face, the boldness of God's glory reminds us that darkness trembles at the hand of His power. Proclaimed as our King, God's glory demands praise, and nothing compares to the wonderful heights of His brilliance. Here is a list of songs focused on bringing praise to His glory.
Truth of the Word, truth of our faith, and Truth embodied in Jesus. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Jesus also said that the Word of God is truth. John 18 tells us that Jesus was born to bear witness to the truth. And the gospels record Jesus' words that though heaven and earth will pass away, God's truth never will. Here is a compilation of songs that focus on truth.
Do you ever wonder if God is still in control of this world? It's normal to wonder that, but at the same time, we need to keep reminding ourselves that God is indeed all-powerful. In spite of all our circumstances, the power of God is real and relevant. When we sing about his power, our hearts are filled with hope, courage, and renewed confidence to face another day. These are the songs that remind us of the powerful God we serve.
