Getting Ready for Sunday, December 5, 2010

There are many names for Jesus, but what do they really mean? Join us as we discover why He is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. You’ll gain a new and relevant perspective on the Savior who was born in a manger over two thousand years ago.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in our music this Sunday. We start a brand new series this Sunday entitled “He Will Be Called”. I love the song “O Come O Come Emmanuel” as it starts out with the prophecy of His coming, and finishes rejoicing on the chorus as He has come. “Lord I Lift Your Name on High” fits right on into the theme as well as it tells the basic story of what Christ has done for us. I think many people pass this song over as it seems to have been overdone, but don’t overlook the message in the song because of it’s familiarity. Truly take time to remember the sacrifice our Savior made for each of us and lift Him up as we sing.

We continue on with the traditional “Away In A Manger” remembering once again the way that our Savior came, and then move into a time of worship as we celebrate the name of Jesus with the song “No Sweeter Name”. We will finish the music portion of our service with “Here I Am To Worship” which once again ties in so well with our Christmas theme. The Light of the World stepped down into darkness to reach us all. What an awesome sacrifice our Savior made when He came down to us.

As we enter this Christmas season, don’t just get caught up in all the festivities and nostalgia of the season. Truly take time to remember WHY Jesus came and celebrate as you worship Him. I’ll look forward to our time together on Sunday

We are finishing up our series on Elijah this Sunday. This has been such an amazing series. God has truly been blessing and moving at Oasis, and we pray that it continues this Sunday as we come together to lift Him up. Our music this week begins simply lifting up the name of our Savior with the songs “Bless Your Name” and “Blessed Be Your Name”. The song “Blessed Be Your Name” also moves us into the theme of worshiping God no matter what our situation in life. We finish with two songs celebrating our Everlasting God who has freed us from our body of death and given us a hope that will not fade away. Take time to listen to the songs in the chart above to prepare yourself for our time of worship together. As always, I look forward to worshipping with you Sunday.

We continue our series on “Elijah” this Sunday. This series and study have been a little painful, but something many of us really need right now. Our music this week focuses on God’s provision for our everyday lives. All we truly need is Him, and He will take care of the rest. As we enter into the week of Thanksgiving, let’s come prepared to really give thanks to the One who has given us everything that we have. I look forward to worshipping with you on Sunday.

Take time this week to read in 1 Kings 18 and listen to the songs by clicking on the titles in the list above. I’m really excited to come together with you for worship this Sunday. See you then.

God has really been moving at Oasis Church! It was amazing to see the entire stage filled with people praying. God really did something awesome in the life of our church this past Sunday. Let’s continue to pray and be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and get ready to see God blow us away this week. I feel like I need to tell you something to continue with our theme from last week. Bro. Todd really expressed our desire to see the alters full every week with people thanking God, asking for his help, His direction. That doesn’t just have to happen during the invitation though. During our time of worship through music, if God leads you to come to the alters, do it! We have a lot of things happening on the stage with band and singers, but there will always be room to pray if God leads you to do so. Our time of worship through music is not just for those on stage, it’s for everyone in attendance. Be sensitive to God’s leading, and really participate during our corporate time of worship.

This week we open up with some celebration as we sing a new song to Oasis entitled “How Great”. You need to get here early, because I promise you won’t want to miss this one. From there we will go on to the song “Days of Elijah”. Now I must admit that since we are beginning a series entitled “Elijah” this song immediately jumped out to me. I was reading up on the song a while ago just to get a better grasp on what it truly means. The author, Robin Mark says the song was inspired after watching a “Review of the Year” type program at the end of 1994. As he watched the review and was reminded of the state our world is in, he began to question if God was still in control. He felt like God spoke to Him that night and reassured Him that He was indeed in control. Robin began to recall the stories of characters from the Old Testament who faced many trials, and tragedies. Through it all, God was in control and was to be praised. His word was to be declared, and those who followed God could rejoice as they knew God would follow through with His promises. No matter what our condition, we can celebrate this Sunday knowing that God is in control of everything, and He will be coming again soon.

We’ll finish the music portion of our service with “Forever Reign” which to me is a cry of dependence on God. Our relationship with Christ is the thing that can get us through whatever trial we face. We simply need to run into the arms of the One who holds everything together.

We are baptizing this Sunday and beginning a new series. You definitely won’t want to miss this Sunday. I’ll look forward to worshipping with you at 9a.m. or 11a.m. this Sunday.
