Wednesday Night 11/30/11

Hey guys, hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving holiday. Mine was extremely restful and I am so thankful for that time though I missed worshipping with the body of Christ last Wednesday! Anyway, I am looking forward to being back with all of you tonight for our Wednesday night service. Pastor Jim is getting closer to finishing our study through Nehemiah's look at revival and it has been a tremendous blessing. Hopefully it has left our hearts longing for revival because we certainly need it in our churches and in our own individual hearts! So come tonight and worship with us as we sing, pray, and make much of Christ through the teaching of His Word and worshipful celebration of the gospel! Here is our song set for tonight, learn them and come ready to sing out to our God!

1) Oh for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

2) How Deep the Father's Love For Us

3) Everlasting God

4) Come Praise and Glorify (New)

5) How Great Is Our God

6) I Need Thee Every Hour

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!
