I ran across this song a couple of months ago, and thought that it would be a perfect missions month song, but more than that it hits the themes that I think we need to be reminded of over and over again. Justice. Mercy. Loving the unloved. These themes go

I’m not sure what I expected when I “picked up” a copy of David Nasser’s new book, “Jumping through Fires: The Gripping Story of One Man’s Escape from Revolution to Redemption.” I heard David Nasser speak last year at the National Worship Leader’s Conference. If you
As I look through Christy Nockels’ song, “A Mighty Fortress,” I am fairly certain that we could go through the song line by line and find the corresponding Bible verses. So, in the interests of time, let’s grab some of the major themes. Let’s start with a concept
By far the most impacting speaker I’ve heard this year was David Nasser at the National Worship Leader Conference. I’ve looked for another talk like it, and this is the only one I’ve seen him give like this. Here’s a link to the site you can
If it seems like it’s been forever since we did the devotional on How He Loves (Part 1), it’s because it’s been forever! We left off after verse 1. The chorus is fairly self explanatory, so we kind of skipped over it. What I wanted to do

I was reposting sermons today, and I really realized that though a year and a half is a short time, I’ve been here a long time. That is, I’ve been here at Grace for a lot of Sundays. It’s kind of weird how the cadence of the
I think I’ve decided that my favorite Getty hymn is Love of God. Good luck finding a recording of it, there’s a verse on YouTube (I’ll post it below), but I literally cannot find the whole song anywhere. Not only that, but it’s not even listed
I was reading Deuteronomy 9 today, and I was struck by Deuteronomy 9:1-3. Here we have God telling His people that they are going to head into the promised land and they are going to be faced with a people great and tall… giants. Now, I don’t know
Okay, so I’ve essentially had the same song running through my head all day. It’s the song we closed the services with this morning, Benediction (May the Peace). It is of course a Getty hymn. I think I’ve mentioned somewhere that since May, I’ve started listening
