THE NOTES:
This week we kicked off a new series that Pastor Jordan Muck is preaching called, "Three". This is a four-week study of Colossians 3:1-17. It should be an exciting study on the heart of our actions as believers. Week one looked at the first three verses and discussed the setting of our hearts on things above, the fixing of our minds on the things above, and the security that is found in Christ.
THE SONGS:
Glory to God Forever - This is a great song. It's very simple and holds a wealth of theological truth to it. I love opening with this one. It has really good energy to it and our people have always grabbed a strong hold of it.
[album: Hope Rising - Fee]
Glory to Your Name - I have talked about this song many times in the past. It is by a phenomenal worship leader named Dave Hunt. He lead at the church I attended when I lived in Nashville, TN. Dave is simply one of the most genuine and humble worship leaders I have ever encountered. This is one of his songs that I love!
[album: Shattered - Dave Hunt]
Once Again - This is another older song that I love. It has a tremendous focus on the cross and and the humility, gratitude, and response that simply must flow from the observation of it. I do have to note though, that I always change one word of the song. The bridge goes like this: "Thank you for the cross // Thank you for the cross // Thank you for the cross, my friend". I've never been comfortable with the word friend there. I understand what Matt Redman is trying to communicate, but in my mind (if nowhere else) it seems to diminish the power of the act of sacrifice that took place there. So whenever I have done this song I always change the word "friend" to "king". Some might feel this is unnecessary or "nit-picking", but it's one of those things that I feel a conviction about so I change it.

Our God - Everybody knows this song. I probably don't need to talk much about it. I would have no problem doing a whole service where we sing just the bridge to this one.
[album: And If Our God is For Us - Chris Tomlin]
Consuming Fire - I felt like this was a great song to end the set with this week since the focus on the message was on the centering of ourselves on things above and not on this earth.
[album: When Silence Falls - Tim Hughes]
The Arms that Hold the Universe - It was a Steve Fee kind of morning. This was our closing song. Jordan talked to me early in the week about doing this one after the message, so I worked it up. We didn't really have time to learn it as a team so I played it solo.
