Sunday SetList - June 12, 2011

Today was the first Sunday I’ve been able to join the larger worship gathering in 4 weeks.  Praise God I did today!!  This morning was pretty powerful.  I’m still overwhelmed by the unity in the place as we seek God’s heart, and pray for a revival starting with us.

The music opened things up with:

With Everything

Our God is Love

You Are Good

During “You Are Good,” our worship leader opened up the congregation to cry out to God, listen for his voice, and share what they are hearing from God.  Two men spoke up and prayed as if God is speaking to us saying, “Draw near to me!”  People shouted in agreement, and the unity in the place was amazing.  Unity like that can only come from the Holy Spirit!!

The band closed out the set list with "Greatest Gift", and the pastor continued in our worship by speaking from Acts 3 and 4.  The question he asked from this passage is “What did Peter have to give the crippled beggar?”  The answer came down to being with Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and giving the man freedom from his illness that kept him bound since birth.  Of course, the healing came from Christ through Peter.  Our pastor calls this "compulsive faith."  When we are compelled (sometimes against our will) to speak of God's salvation, we are developing a godly compulsion in our faith.  At the end of the meeting, our pastor had everyone read the prayer of Peter’s in Acts 4:29-30 together in our own speed, each making it a personal prayer.  Even though it sounded jumbled since people spoke from different bible versions and different speeds, it was awesome to experience the unity in spirit.  We, as a congregation, are seeking God to reveal more of himself to us, so that we may have the boldness to speak of what we hear and see from him.  Amen and praise the Lord!!!

Sunday Setlist - May 29, 2011

Our God is amazing!!  He's doing so many good things in our midst, that I have to share them with my friends over at TheWorshipCommunity.com through the Sunday Setlists.  All praise to our Lord and King!

Today was another great Sunday at Kernersville Community Church!!  Full disclosure here: I was not in the main worship gathering today because I was in the classroom of our 4-6 year olds.  So, I have two perspectives to offer: one from the children’s area and the other from my husband who filled me in on what happened in our main worship gathering.

In the kids area, it started off kind of rough.  All the children wanted to play with the same toys, but none wanted to share.  Tears were shed, cries went out to mommies, and us teachers needed prayer! :-)  So, I approached one of our ushers and asked him to get one of the mommies and to pray for peace over our classroom.  When I returned to the class, we sat the kids down and asked them to pray.  We prayed for whatever they wanted to pray about no matter what.  The kids also prayed for peace, and the entire room settled down.  The rest of the day was wonderful.  Thank you, Lord, for the peace that passes all understanding!

In our main worship gathering, we have some exciting news.  A gentleman in our congregation was healed of his brain tumor!!  The prayer team got word earlier in the week that scans came back clear.  Today, our pastor passed around copies of two scans; before and after.  The first scan showed the large brain tumor, and the other showed none.  Our pastor then explained that the doctors admitted this is a miracle.  So, we have reason to celebrate here because our God heals even today!!!  We continue to pray for additional healing among us.

As for the songs, here is what we sung:

Holy Are You, Lord

Run

Yes and Amen

Awakening

Our Lord continues to speak to us in our gatherings, and we expect to see more of His miracles and wonders so that we may be witnesses to what we see and hear of the Holy Spirit.  Lord, may your kingdom come and your will be done.  AMEN!

Sunday SetList - May 15, 2011

This is my first worship set list blog post as a participant in the "Sunday Setlists" at TheWorshipCommunity.com.  Our worship meetings have been powerful lately, so I want to document what God is doing as we gather in His name, and share it with you.  It's incredible to see what God is doing through individuals in the church as well as in our small town.  My God is an AWESOME God!!

Furious (by Jeremy Riddle) – A

You Are Good (by Bethel Church) – E   (NOTE: Corrected artist)

Worthy, You Are Worthy (by Matt Redman)– B

I Exalt Thee (traditional – chorus only) – B

Rivers (by Eric Hurtgen) – E
Forever (by Chris Tomlin - B

(Note: Our team normally does not play exactly like the recordings.  Every song is an arrangement from our band.)

This week, we did not have a drummer.  The only instrumentation was 2 electric guitars, acoustic guitar, bass, keys/organ, and two vocals.  Even though we did not have the rhythm of the drums, worship was amazing!  After the music portion, our pastor made an observation that resonated with me.  He said, “An amazing thing happens during our worship.  As we ascribe to how worthy God our Father is to us, all of a sudden there is a realization of our value to God.”  So true!  The worship continued as our pastor gave the message.  At the end of the message, the pastor welcomed our elementary school children who have been learning and praying about prophecy.  The children shared what they heard from God and prayed over people who needed healing.  I was amazed at the response from the number of adults coming forward seeking the healing prayers of the children in our church.

I love how the Lord also speaks to our children.  It's a beautiful thing!
