Hymn Sunday is a collaboration with Getty Music. You will find a video along with downloadable sheet music.

This song is all about the concept of beholding the life of Christ. It was inspired by this scripture from 2 Corinthians: “And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit (2 Cor 3:18).”

A powerful call to lift up your eyes to behold the beauty of Christ, it is a great song to use anytime in your church service and throughout the year.

A La Carte (May 13)

A La Carte: She and I / The ruthless elimination of sloth / Do we need to see ourselves represented? / How do I leave my sin at the foot of the cross? / Is your family calendar built on faithfulness? / and more.

God Must Sometimes Overrule Us

When we pray to God and bring our petitions before him, and then say in earnest “thy will be done,” how should we expect God to respond? Is asking God to overrule our will with his own admitting that he may actually bring us harm?
