Communion Night this Wednesday

Wow, the month of October flew by! I can't believe it's already the 1st Wednesday of November. That also means it's Communion Night! Come be apart of the body tonight as we come to the table in remembrance and celebration of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection and our redemption because of that! Our desire as a church is to continue in the Apostles teaching and the fellowship, THE BREAKING OF BREAD and prayers, according to Acts 2:42. So don't neglect this, but rather come and do business with the Lord and be encouraged for all He has done for you through His glorious grace! We'll be singing songs tonight that focus our hearts on the glorious news of the gospel in preparation for communion so learn these songs and come ready to offer great praise to our Great God!

1) My Hope Is Built

2) Jesus Messiah

3) In Christ Alone

4) Satisfied In You

5) Once Again

6) There Is A Fountain (Communion Song)

7) All To Us

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!
