I love changing up the formula. This week we started a new series, with some nice changes to the order and flow that more effectively get the message across. Also, we got to introduce a cool new tune that is gonna really work well while we discuss the concept of trusting in God in EVERY area of our life. Read on for the set…
Closing out a series is always a challenging proposition. Not only do you have to effectively cap off the multi-week theme, you also need to set up whats coming up next. I think we were fairly effective with both, without any big headaches. Read on for the set…
Amid all the uproar about Miley at this year’s VMA’s, I began wondering… why on earth do the VMA’s still exist? It seems like now its just a place for people to wear really shocking outfits and Kanye West to have a forum to say really dumb things…
But I remember a day when the VMA’s meant something… a day when the name Hype Williams meant something… a day when you never knew where Beavis and Butthead would pop up… and a day when people thought music videos were just as important as TV shows and movies. Let’s harken back to the days of yore and reminisce about the glory days of the VMA’s.
For a typical Sunday morning, we meticulously pour over our plans for our worship experience. We spend hours practicing, talking over transitions, and walking through cues in order to make that hour as effective as possible.

Let’s look at some ways we can turn feedback from being a thorn in our side, into one of the most effective tools in our toolbox.
Fellowship Creative released Always Been About You back in February of 2013. I was lucky enough to get to listen and review the album before it was released. I bring it up to you because I really think this is a unique and special album for worship in the local church. It has popped back up in my mind again and again in the months since I first listened to it. I hope you stay with it and read on… You don’t wanna miss out on this one.
