Wednesday Night 1/11/12

I am really looking forward to a sweet night fellowshipping with the body! We have a special video to show that looks back over the last year and all that God has done and the fun we've had as a body of believers. And of course, Pastor Jim will be feeding us from God's Word as well as an amazing time of worshipping through music! So come out and be a part of this fellowship tonight, I know you'll be blessed! Check out the songs we'll be singing tonight. There is a new one called "Forever Reign" that is simple but has been a tremendous blessing and reminder of hope for me lately!

1) My Hope Is Built

2) Lord of Lords

3) Everlasting God

4) Forever Reign (New)

5) How Great Is Our God

6) Lead Me To The Cross

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!
