Sunday Morning 10/16/11

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know what you can expect for this Sunday morning at CCR! Pastor Jim Jarrett is going to be taking us through 1 Peter 1:13-17 Pt. 2 as we continue to look at the believers response to our glorious salvation and call to holy living motivated by the gospel. If you missed out on last weeks I'd encourage you to drop by the Growing In the Word ministry in the foyer and pick up a copy so you can have this two part message that will encourage, convict, and call you to Christ-likeness! Also as we'll be singing songs that magnify the character of God and remind us of His glorious gospel. So click on, listen to, and prepare your hearts for worship this week; you won't wan't to miss out. See you Sunday at 10:00 AM here at the church!

1) Open the Eyes of My Heart Lord

2) Here Is Love

3) O the Deep Deep Love of Jesus

4) Agnus Dei

Our Desire

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly - teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” (Col. 3:16)

We take the Word of God extremely serious at CCR and recognize our spiritual call to worship in all areas of our lives ("Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship"-Romans 12:1) and here according to Col. 3:16 in the area of Music. It is our desire to see you the congregation create an atmosphere of worship that displays the greatness of our Holy God, making big of Him and little of ourselves through the obedience of attributing to God the Musical Worship that is due His Name.

What That Looks Like

“Worship songs should serve the church as take-home theology, reinforcing God glorifying doctrine and teaching through Christ-centered lyrics and memorable melodies.” – C.J. Mahaney

In order to cultivate that type of atmosphere there needs to be a clear understanding of the songs we sing and why we sing them. We need to come to grips with the reality of what is taking place during the "worship service." These are not just poetic lyrics with catchy melodies be they hymns or modern contemporary worship. Rather the songs we sing at CCR are an expression of our dire need for the salvific redemption provided through the Son of God at the hand of the Father, and an outpour of gratitude for the work that was done in our stead on the cross for the Glory of God primarily and the salvation of men!
