Sermon for Sunday, September 5, 2010
“7 Days Focused On One”
In Acts 8, Phillip had been preaching to the multitudes in Samaria, but God called him into the desert of Gaza to reach one person. Phillip met the Ethiopian Eunuch and shared the Gospel with him, which led to salvation. Today, we will challenge Oasis to share the gospel with one person this week.

Set List for Sunday September 5, 2010

This is How We Know
Matt & Beth Redman
From the CD “We Shall Not Be Shaken“ by Matt Redman

All Because of Jesus
Steve Fee
From the CD “We Shine “ by Fee

Mighty to Save
Reuben Morgan & Ben Fielding
From the CD “Mighty to Save“ by Hillsong


I’m still trying to get back in the regular routine of the blog, so sorry for the infrequent posts. We had an awesome time at Oasis this past Sunday as we where reminded that God has called us to bring others to Him. This week we continue our series “Out of Bounds” as Bro. Todd will be talking about focusing on one.

This week our music once again focuses on evangelism. We will be doing a brand new song to Oasis this Sunday by Matt Redman entitled “This is How We Know” which does an amazing job of painting the picture of how much God loves us. It helps us focus once again on the verse that we memorize as kids, but often times forget the amazing meaning behind. (John 3:16) Check it out by clicking the link in the list above.

We’ll finish up with two very familiar songs to Oasis, “All Because of Jesus” and “Mighty to Save”. Once again reminding us of the fact that without Christ we would be nothing. This should compel us all to spread the message of Christ to everyone we come in contact with. I’m looking forward to worshipping with you on Sunday

Sermon for Sunday, August 22, 2010
“7 Days of Prayer”
When Jesus was carrying the load of our sin in the Garden of Gethsemane, he asked his disciples to pray with him. When he returned, he found them sleeping and he asked them, why they could not pray for just one hour? This week the Oasis will be challenge to pray for at least 8 1/2 minutes for 7 days for specific people who need Jesus. This will equal about one hour of prayer for the week.

Set List for Sunday August 22, 2010

Hosanna

Friend of God
Israel Houghton & Michael Gungor
From the CD “Live From Another Level “ by Israel Houghton

You Said
Reuben Morgan
From the CD “All I Have“ by Rita Springer


So it has been ages since our last blog for worship at Oasis. I’m excited to get back on track. This is meant to be a resource for everyone who attends to better prepare for our time of worship together.

We are right in the middle of our series “Out of Bounds” which has been absolutely incredible….and very challenging. Every week we have been challenged with something that is out of our comfort zone. Week one was 7 Days with Strangers where we where challenged to do something nice for a complete stranger. Week 2 was 7 Days with the Enemy where we where encouraged to do something nice for someone who hasn’t treated us well. Last week we where challenged to take time with our families and evaluate how well we are following God. This week is 7 Days of Prayer. John and PJ will be speaking to us about the power of prayer, and will have a special challenge for all of us.

Our music this week focuses largely on how amazing our God is, and celebrates the fact that He calls us friend. We finish right before the message with the song “You Said” which speaks directly to the power of prayer, and the promises God has given when we ask. Be sure to take time to listen to the music by clicking the titles in the list above.

I’m really looking forward to our time of worship together. Remember that we now have two services 9:30-10:30 and 11-12. I look forward to worshipping with you on Sunday.
