This was a fun week at CenterPoint.  We introduced our songwriting project to the congregation and played the first complete tune, "Reckless Love".  The song is based in the story of the Prodigal son (which we've been studying now for about a month).  It was very cool to be able to do an original tune, and the congregation responded to it very well.  Hopefully this will be the first of many songs that come from this project.

Dave's message this week focused on the part of the story that often gets overlooked: the elder son.  He talked about parallels between the elder son character and the Pharisees that were listening in Jesus' time, and also related the idea to our modern day Christianity.  It was definitely an important message, and one that I think we all forget about far too often!   To help drive the point home, we opened the message with a clip from "The War".  I wasn't familiar with the film until we decided to use it, but the clip was right on point.

The band did a great job this week, especially with the new tune.  The rest of the set was pretty familiar, and we also repeated "Song Of Hope", which we taught last Sunday.  I thought the mix was excellent this Sunday, as well.
