God has blessed us at Centerpoint with incredible times of worship each week in 2009 so far, and yesterday was no exception! We are winding down our "Choosing Your Spiritual Path" series, and yesterday's message dealt with the differences between Christianity and the other major religions of the world. I thought Pastor Dave did a great job bringing out the truth of Christianity and the Bible without bashing or discounting the beliefs of other religions. Great stuff. We also took communion yesterday, which is always a real blessing to me, personally (though I had to take it one handed while playing keys!).
From a musical perspective, yesterday's service was spot-on. The band really nailed the arrangements and there was an energy level in the musical worship that we don't often reach. Very exciting! We played "From The Inside Out" and "Came To My Rescue" as a medley - something I've been wanting to try ever since I got the Hillsong United "I Heart Revolution" CD. It worked very well, but might have gotten a little long (unlike the CD recording, we played all of both songs), so that will be something to keep in mind for the future.
The mix has been spot on the past couple of weeks, which can partly be attributed to our return to electronic drums, but is more of a testament to our sound techs. Don and Jim have been knocking it out of the park, giving us great house and monitor mixes each week. Great job, guys!
We've got a Creative Worship meeting tonight to plan what promises to be a busy and unique February... I can't wait!
