the glorious exchange

Check it out here: Harmony Church Podcast

Songs from the worship set will be uploaded shortly. The time says that the sermon is only 1:01 long, but it’s in reality 39:21. Go ahead and download it, it works, the time is simply wrong.

This is our second attempt. Check it out at HarmonyGreenville.com . You can find it at the bottom under “Podcast”. It will also be available on iTunes soon. We’ve started a series on Jonah. I will speak from Jonah on April 27th, May 25th,  June 22nd, and July 27th. On the weeks in between, I will be talking about how the lessons from Jonah apply to our lives practically. Should be interesting. Stay tuned.

On another note, our first attempt at podcasting is still on iTunes…still can’t get rid of it!

• Service went well. Attendance was better than previous weeks, and we had 5 people either meet Jesus for the first time, or wake up as a Christ-follower. We are still waiting on their stories so we know what went down.
• I do know that one of them has been battling with cocaine and sex-addiction for quite some time. Hopefully, this will be the last time.
• Setlist:
  • Jonah by Jimmy Reeves
  • Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder by Daniel Renstrom
  • Spring of Life by Kristian Stanfill
  • Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone) by Chris Tomlin
  • For Your Glory by Lee McDerment
• Worship was awesome. I think this was the first service where the band really led people into worship, just based on their presence on stage. It was a great atmosphere, and they led us to the Throne of God. I’m stoked.
• I spoke on Jonah 1. Got a good recording of it too (for the first time). We will be podcasting the Jonah series at least, and possible every message from here on out.
• Next week, we’ll be talking about how Philippians 2:12-14 meshes with us not being able to obtain salvation ourselves. 

I will extol you, my God and King,
and bless your name forever and ever.

Every day I will bless you
and praise your name forever and ever.

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
and his greatness is unsearchable.

One generation shall commend your works to another,
and shall declare your mighty acts.

On the glorious splendor of your majesty,
and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.

They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,
and I will declare your greatness.

They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness
and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

The Lord is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

The Lord is good to all,
and his mercy is over all that he has made.

All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord,
and all your saints shall bless you!

They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom
and tell of your power,

to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds,
and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

The Lord is faithful in all his words
and kind in all his works.

The Lord upholds all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down.

The eyes of all look to you,
and you give them their food in due season.

You open your hand;
you satisfy the desire of every living thing.

The Lord is righteous in all his ways
and kind in all his works.

The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.

He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
he also hears their cry and saves them.

The Lord preserves all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.

My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

• Our first Unplugged service yesterday was awesome! We had a decent number considering, and the worship set was great!
• Setlist:
  • Jonah by Jimmy Reeves
  • Lead Me to the Cross by Hillsong United
  • God of Our City by Bluetree
• Stoked about teaching Jonah 1 this week!!
• Excited about The Whiteboard Sessions: special shout-out to Henry Judy and Life Pointe for making that happen!
• We are re-structuring our financial systems right now: using a 75-15-10 model, as proposed by Brad. 75 goes towards bills, 15 goes to savings, and 10 goes to missions (more specifically, a church planting fund). I’m stoked.
• Stay tuned. Big announcements coming up.
