First 2 nights Kevin Brimner spoke,
the last 2 nights Chuck McNeely spoke.
Our music was all done in house. We had a women's quartet the first night, conventional church music the second night, our contemporary group the third night, and the last night we had ... well sorta Bluegrass. If you were a purist the left handed electric bass guitar was out of place, but we really don't care. There was a bass fiddle and banjo and a mandolin and an acoustic guitar. Same guys had our special at church today, but Steve traded his banjo for a keyboard and Michael traded his mandolin for a sax. Big Daddy Weave better look over his shoulder !
But back to the message. Our theme was "If we are the body..." For those unfamiliar with it, that is a Casting Crowns song. You can hear it on at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44dzm71TKF8&feature=related
CASTING CROWNS LYRICS
"If We Are The Body"
It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girl's teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know
But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way
A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgemental glances
Tells him that his chances are better out on the road
Jesus payed much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ
Jesus is the way
"If We Are The Body"
It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girl's teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know
But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way
A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgemental glances
Tells him that his chances are better out on the road
Jesus payed much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ
Jesus is the way
Kevin and Chuck did an excellent job developing the theme ... but it sure was hard on my shoe shine. They just walked all over my toes.
