Sunday Morning 10/30/11

Well I'm looking forward to being with the body of Christ again. We had an awesome Wednesday night looking at Nehemiah 8 and the revival that happened there as people cried out to Ezra "Bring Us the Book." May we we have a deepening desire for God's Word like that as well! Speaking of which, Pastor Jim will be continuing our study through 1 Peter as we pick up in chapter one verse eighteen continuing to look at the affect of our GREAT SALVATION in our lives! Don't miss out, come and worship with us as we sing songs and hymns that promote the greatness of God and His work in and through the gospel of Christ! There are a couple newer songs so make sure to click on and learn these so you can come prepared to sing and make a LOUD JOYFUL noise to our Lord!

1) And Can It Be

2) Better Is One Day

3) Be Unto Your Name

4) O Love That Will Not Let Me Go (New)

5) Holy And Anointed One

6) Jesus I My Cross Have Taken

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!
