Today we wrapped our series called "JOY". For the past three weeks we have used video teaching from Francis Chan at Cornerstone Church is Semi Valley. This series has been very powerful and is so practical to our lives. I would encourage you to go to their online bookstore and buy the DVDs right now. So as a finale to the Joy series I thought it would be fun to do something really fun and "joyful". So we did a round of karaoke as a game at the beginning of our weekend worship experience. I wasn't sure if we would have volunteers for the "GAME" as I promoted it. But we did. We gave away gift cards to everyone that participated as well. So they wouldnt get mad at me I made Scott pick the people to play the game! We did Billie Jean, YMCA, and As Long As You Love Me. Just as Scott thought it was over I made him sing one with the help of the congregational laughter... he did it and I gave him the beautiful power ballad "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx. It was hilarious...

On a more serious note... I have been more and more encouraged with our people every week. God is really beginning to stir up a heart for worship within our people. We have only been doing acoustic for a a couple months or so and God is really beginning to show us that worship is about HIM! A lot of times we say our worship time is about Him but it is really about music, certain songs, the band themselves or a specific feeling. But we have been fixating on the Lord and the Lord alone and the Holy Spirit has really been moving freely and touching people. I am thankful for a church that doesn't feel the need to do church the way you are "supposed to" but focuses on living a Holy life and pursuing Jesus no matter what the circumstances.

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...

Here On Earth (Bryan and Katie Torwalt / Jesus Culture Music) CD Review

Image
So I'm excited that Jesus Culture is branching out and getting new artists to be apart of their label. This is a great step. I really love this album by Bryan and Katie Torwalt. Bryan and Katie are worship pastors at The River in Fresno . I first heard about them because they lead worship at Jesus Culture's Awakening Conference inChicago this past week. I really love the album a lot. To see a live interview / get to know the artists video click here to see them interviewed by Kim Walker-Smith ( @KimWalkerSmith ). As well as listen to bits of every song on the album. My favorite song hands down and will be a song that we do at Resonate is "Holy Spirit" I love songs that start off slowly and become huge as the song continues. I love the theme of this song. The theme is all about encountering the presence of the Holy Spirit during our times of worship. This theme is an area that God is calling Resonate to grow in and I really think this song could help...
