1) Washed By The Water (needtobreathe): Key A. Great tune. Soulful, bluesy. Fun time on ths one.

2) See His Love (Tim Hughes): Key Bm. This one has grown on me. I think I heard the Jesus Culture version recently and really liked it.

3) Hosanna (Brooke Fraser): Key E. Great tune.

4) Follow After You AKA Psalm 63 (Russ Hutto): Key G. This one goes over well everywhere I do it. Thanking God for a great song!

5) Step by Step (Beaker/Mullins): Key G. Medleyed right into this chorus from previous song.

6) How Deep The Father’s Love (Townsend): Key D/E. After sermon.

Enjoyed being in rotation after a month break. Love helping to lead at St. Simons Community Church.

Had the great privilege of leading worship at Providence Worshiping Arts Center in Jesup, Ga today.

It’s been a while since I’ve worshiped there and I always enjoy the warm welcome and the freedom given to just go for it in God.

It was only me on an acoustic this trip, which I REALLY enjoy sometimes, because it gives me the opportunity to really just lead worship without the added responsibility of leading the band and singers as well. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but sometimes it’s nice to just strip everything down and lead from a guitar or piano only.

Today IS a great day! We’re through our first service here at SSCC. Looking forward to our second gathering and our night of worship tonight!

I had the great privilege of leading a song I wrote this morning. Psalm 63. I think it’s going over well. I’ve gotten a lot of good feedback on this one from other avenues and I think it’s going to be a good one for congregational worship! Love when that happens.

Had a great time at InsideOut last night leading worship with a bunch of teenagers.

Was very privileged to invite some friends from Valdosta and Jesup to be a part of the band. Thanks to Keith Hand (valdosta-guitar), Hamp Rogers (valdosta-guitar), Jason Crowe (jesup-drums), Cortni Joseph (valdosta-vocals) and Chris Moncus (brunswick-bass) for being a part of this!!

Walk-in:

Shackles (Mary Mary). Key Em. We were able to do this similar to the way that the majority of us knew. Kind of a Maroon 5 (This Love) groove. Pretty fun!

Opening Set:

My Savior Lives (New Life Worship). Key B. Standard arrangement.

One Way (Crazy Train Remix). Key F#m. Love doing this song this way. I think the kids really enjoyed it too. Cortni leads out on the verses and she rocked it!

Blessed Be Your Name (Matt Redman). Key G. Cortni led out on this one as usual and it was awesome!

Closing Set:

In The Secret (Vineyard). Key G. We just repeated the chorus a few times to really bring the big idea of the message home.

Heart of Worship (Matt Redman). Key D. Ended the night with this one. Started small and quiet and built into a big, big chorus towards the end. This one never gets old for me.

Had a great time and appreciate John and Shannon for letting us do this! It was great!

Excited to be leading worship again. It’s been since August since I’ve led.

This is a pre-post. We’ve already had rehearsal, but not service yet.

Today is the last Sunday my parents will be at The Sanctuary in Jefferson, Ga. God has made some incredible moves and the church will be merging with a church called Hope Crossings. For the last 5+ years, my parents have paved the way for this awesome change and will be stepping out of the way to let the other pastoral family come in and lead the new church!

They are excited about what the future holds both for themselves and for the new church!

My parents are so amazing. I’d like to publicly honor them here on the blog and let the world know that you won’t find two more incredible pastors. They have poured time and energy into the lives of hundreds of people over the years, encouraging, edifying, and equipping the saints for the work of the ministry and I am so proud of them.

You won’t find better examples of Christ-like humility and a willingness to serve. You won’t find better examples of Godly parents. Of course, I’m a little biased, but I mean every word.

There’s been ups and downs and lots of hurts along the way, which is unavoidable when you spend your life pouring out your own life into others.

But there’s also been joy and accomplishments. Some outward, but many more seeds planted and watered, only to blossom and grow into plants long after.

I love you, Dad & Mom!

Setlist:

1) Glory to God Forever (Fee): Key G. Was planning to do this in A, but forgot my capo so I just rocked it in G. Good range for the team. Worked out great.

2) Psalm 93 (The Lord Reigns) (Hutto – me): Key G. This is a brand new one that I wrote just last month. I wanted to share it in a corporate worship setting and it’s gone over very well. It’s catchy and singable. One of my favorite originals at the moment.

Listen to my scratch demo: http://twt.fm/337786

3) How Great is Our God (Tomlin): Key G. After introducing a new original I always like to follow it with a good solid familiar song that people know and love. It’s a great way to bring people back in, especially if people aren’t catching on to the new one, which isn’t really a problem with the new one today, it’s going over well. But still that’s my formula (if you will).

Great to be worshiping with a band and team in another part of the state this morning, and knowing that we’re all lifting our worship at different times this weekend. Awesome when you think about how many voices are raised (as one) each week in praise and worship to our God!
