Hope's Anthem (William Matthews / Bethel Music) CD Review

Image
One of my favorite days of the week is Tuesday, because it is the day all new music is being released. This Tuesday (actually Monday night at 9:00:01 PM PST) I am extra excited. I have a respect and love for Bethel Church ( @BethelRedding ) and Bethel Music ( @BethelMusic ) . The long awaited CD release of former IHOP'er and now new Bethel Church Worship Leader William Matthews ( @WilliamsMatthews22 ) is finally here. I have had this release marked on my calendar for a while counting down the days as I do with all Bethel Music releases. There are a few songs that I have know about for a while that are really great solid songs because of Bethel TV ( @iBetheltv) ! Songs like "Deep Cries Out" and "Hope's Anthem" are amazing songs and are oldies but goodies for us Bethel TV junkies. As well as a song by IHOP Worship Leader (and personal favorite) Cory Asbury ( @RealCoryAsbury ) called "So Good To Me. There are many amazing things about this album, bu...

Songs: One Thing Remains (Brian Johnson) ( @BrianJohnsonM ) God of the Redeemed (Jeremy Riddle) ( @JeremyMRiddle ) Great Is Thy Faithfulness (Thomas Obediah Chisolm & William Marion Runyan) Blessed Assurance (Fanny Jane Crosby & Pheobe Palmer Knapp) Band: Drums: Corey Wilkins ( @coreylayne ) Bass: Ash Moselle Acoustic Guitar & Lead Vocals: (Me), Jason Eaton ( @JasonEatonMusic ) This weekend we had a guest teacher. Lead Pastor from Real Life Church ( @RealLifeSCV ) in Valencia, California, Rusty George ( @RustyLGeorge ). Rusty spoke about the life of Ruth as we continued our series Called RETRO. The reason the story of Ruth is so good is because it is a rags to riches kind of story. It is a feel good story. The story of Ruth the Moabite begins with a major famine. During the famine her husband, brother in law and her father in law left to go and find them food and they all three died. So Naomi and Ruth the Moabite decide to head back to Naomi's hometown which happen...

Be Lifted High (Bethel Music) CD Review

Image
I have come to strongly believe that Bethel Church in Redding, California has the best worship ministry in the World, hands down. I that that obviously doesn't matter. But I have such a huge respect for them and what they do. And with their newest release "Be Lifted High" they have done it again. It is an amazing CD filled with songs for the church. Here are some of the tracks I really enjoyed: "Love Came Down", "Furious". "You Are Good" , "God of the Redeemed", and "One Thirst". With the addition of new artist and pastors to an already amazing team Jeremy Riddle, William Matthews, Stephanie Frizzel and Matt Stinton have added some amazing new life to this ministry as well as many amazing new songs. At Resonate we have enjoyed worship with these songs listed above and they have worked really well for us. I cannot wait for more from this church and ministry!

Band: Acoustic Guitar & BGV's: Rob Sherrod BGV's: Carly Absher Acoustic & Lead Vocals: (Me), Jason Eaton Before I begin explaining my thoughts on this weekends message I want to show you a quick video to set up the message: Bible Stories w/ Dr. Arlan Buljack: The Story of Abraham from Resonate Church on Vimeo . So thats exactly how Abraham's life went... But....... it was close. The amazing thing about this series and the Old Testament is that we see pictures of ourselves and our current life all throughout it. The beautiful thing that is shouted out throughout the OT is that our past doesn't disqualify our future, nor does it define who we are. The amazing take aways from this weekends message are: Truth #1: Anytime God makes a promise He always keeps His word. Truth #2: An...

New Series Beginning This Weekend!

Image
So we are beginning a new Old Testament character study this weekend. There is so much to learn about God and ourselves by digging into the Old Testament. Through the stories of these lives in the OT we see ourselves in them all too much. THe beautiful thing from learning from these stories is we get to see how our past doesn't determine our future or determine who we are. July 17th: Abraham (Scott Hatfield, Lead Pastor of Resonate Church) July 24th: Ruth (Rusty George, Lead Pastor of Real Life Church ) July 31st: David (Scott Hatfield, Lead Pastor of Resonate Church) August 7th: Rahab (Scott Hatfield, Lead Pastor of Resonate Church) So make sure to join us this weekend as we begin RETRO!
