Song Talks

Have you ever had that season of really hearing from the Lord? Maybe you were blessed with a sense of being close to Jesus for an extended period of time where the fellowship was sweet and God was answering prayer? Or perhaps you have been through a dry valley recently. For some reason you haven't felt like praying or reading the Word.  Maybe you are struggling with a certain sin that seems to just keep rearing its ugly head and its just got you down and out.  Somewhere in the deep parts of your heart, you long for that sweet communion with the Lord that you had before. This week's song talks song can help us out!  "Do it again" is a call from the deep places of our souls for the Lord to remind us and restore us to sweet fellowship with Him again.  The first verse looks at the children of Israel walking around the walls of Jericho.  They heard from their commander who heard from the Lord. So they started walking…and walking.  You've been there. T...

This week in the 11:00 service we will be singing "Great and Mighty King". There are several texts in the Scriptures the song could originate from.  For example, the chorus, "Oh great and mighty King, You reign in majesty, before Your throne we sing 'holy, holy'!" could be taken from Revelation 4 and 5. This is the great exaltation of Christ standing at the right hand of God on the throne with "myriads" of people singing together in one voice the worth of our Savior. The bridge, "Your glory fills this place, we shout unending praise, forever hallelujah, forever hallelujah", may be a hint to Isaiah 6, that famous theophany of the prophet in the temple as he catches a glimpse of the Lord high and lifted up and the train of His robe filling the temple. Or perhaps this is in reference to the tabernacle being completed in Numbers 9:15-23. When Moses finished filling the tabernacle with all of its furniture and decoration, Moses covered...

I'm back! Feels like forever since I have written a Song Talks! Thanks to Ryan for taking over last week while I was in Alaska. Nope, I didn't go on a cruise, and I wasn't on vacation. This trip was for the good of the gospel to an unreached people group. As we begin the process of tackling this momentous vision, would you be in prayer for Second? And would you pray for God to raise up people from our church to have a big heart for Alaska and the states native peoples that don't know Jesus? We will be traveling 4 to 5 times a year to plant a church among an indigenous tribe in the Interior of our northernmost state. The process is long and we are now beginning training and networking to find a place where there is little or no evangelical presence. Thanks for praying! We are in the heart of the "My Crazy Life" series.  I don't know about you but I'm really enjoying the messages from our Pastor. The life of Joseph has always been one of my fav...
