Sunday Morning 11/13/11

We're looking forward to this Sunday morning and all the Lord has in store! Pastor Jim will be back in the book of 1 Peter as we've been reminded of the glorious hope of the gospel we have in our lives and how that truth ought to be applied in our living! The gospel has real implications for those whom it's affected such as holiness, thanksgiving, and grace under suffering! Hopefully we'll be blessed, encouraged, instructed, and revived as we sing songs that proclaim the glorious hope of the gospel and SING OUT all that God has graciously done for the sinner's heart. So come and worship with us Sunday morning at 10:00 AM!

1) Blessed Be Your Name

2) Stronger

3) Forever

4) God of Wonders

5) Grace Greater Than Our Sin

6) Good to Me

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!
