Jesus Paid It All...




















As I was preparing for this Sunday's worship set for @ResonateChurch I was blown away by lyrics to a hymn that I have sang a million times. During my preparation for the worship practice and our Sunday morning worship experience I will read through the words of the songs and try to really think about exactly what the writer was trying to get across. Like I said earlier I have sang this hymn many times, but my heart was overwhelmed when reading through the song this week. The lyrics in this hymn are powerful and I thought it would be awesome to post the lyrics for you all to use a a devotion. So here are the lyrics...

LYRICS FOR REFLECTION:

I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness, watch and pray
Find in me thine all in all.”

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and thine alone
Jesus died my soul to save
And melt the heart of stone

Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

And when before the throne
I stand in him complete
“Jesus died my soul to save!”
My lips shall still repeat

O praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead!

Every time I sing that song it washes over and overwhelms me. Jesus' sacrifice for me seems incredible. And all the things about myself that I find shameful, sad, pathetic or worse - they are already forgiven. Drawing me to a place where I want to be more like Christ, to honor His sacrifice. So beautiful.

My Weekend and Thoughts About Visiting Passion City Church

Image
So I got an inside look into the amazing stuff going on at Passion City Church in Buckhead (ATL), Georgia. I learned so many great things about how they communicate, lead, set vision, and much more that I wanted to share my thoughts from visiting.  Plus a bunch or pictures below. HERE ARE THE MAIN THINGS I LEARNED FROM THEIR LEADERSHIP TEAM ABOUT HOW THEY LEAD, GUIDE AND DIRECT THE PEOPLE OF PASSION CITY CHURCH! The lead story (the headline) at Passion City Church is always the same and that is that "Jesus Is Alive." No matter what happens on a Sunday nothing trumps this!  At most of our churches the focus can be on that the chairs weren't set up correctly or that something didn't get put back the way it should have.  Those things can and should be addressed, but they are so far down the line in importance.  The fact that Jesus Is Alive is the main thing! As a leader our main job is to consistently cast vision every second in every conversation.  E...

Our VIP Weekend @ Elevation Church

Image
So I got to attend a Sunday night service at Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC at the Blakeney Campus. The area of Charlotte probably has now officially become one of my favorite areas in the country.  I could easily live there. Once we pulled onto the street to get to the church they had signs asking if it was your first time to the church to turn on your car flashers.  Once the parking team noticed it they immediately sent you to prime front row parking.  At Elevation they call first time guests VIP's.  Also, a part of being a VIP is to immediately go to the black VIP tent right outside the front doors where they give your a bunch of free stuff!  We filled out the paper work needed to put our daughter into her Elevation Kids class then we were given a VIP packet with a free CD and message from Pastor Steven Furtick.   They walked us to the Kids check in and the kids volunteers had Greenlee (our daughter) jumping up and down with excitement...

Band: Drums: Mark Monteiro Bass: Gerald Lay Electric: Rob Sherrod Electric, Acoustic, and Lead Vocals: (Me), Jason Eaton BGV's: Mary Beth Holmes Songs: Nothing Is Impossible (Planetshackers) Give Me Faith (Elevation Worship) Revelation Song (Jennie Lee Riddle) Love Came Down (Brian Johnson) W OW! So we began anew series this week joining with well over 700,000 other churches across the world to discover more of God together. We will be discovering and looking deeper into this statement "God Is..." We are going to dig deep for four weeks looking at some characteristics of who God is. This week Scott talked about "God is... HOLY". Holy simply means: exalted, something completely set a part, other than, something on a higher plane, something bigger than us that can't be measured by the standards that we measure ourselves, worthy of honor & respect, above us, all together different. That is a pretty amazing definition! What is even better is... GOD IS...
