Stories behind the songs - Sunday May 20, 2007

"YOUR NAME"

We'll begin with the song "Your Name" led by soloist John Brewer and the worship choir. The song is by composer Travis Cottrell. Travis is the worship leader for the "Living Proof" conferences with teacher Beth Moore. Click here for an in depth article on Travis' ministry.

Here's an insightful quote by Travis on worship:
When asked what kind of a musical legacy he would like to leave the church, Travis Cottrell expressed “I would hope that I would be remembered as someone who has a passion for Jesus, passion that supersedes any kind of musical style,” he says, ardently. “I would hope to make a mark – small as it may be – that shows that we can’t define our expressions of worship generationally. Part of what’s going on in the church and in our disagreements about worship, is that we all want to worship like we grew up worshipping. We want it to sound pleasing to us. To me that’s not what worship is about. Worship is not a sound, it’s a lifestyle, it’s our heart. If I could change someone’s perspective on what worship is, that’s exactly what I set out to do.

Trivia question this week: One of the first songs that Travis Cottrell wrote called "It's only Thunder" was recorded by what christian artist.
Chris on the song:
Another simple song that started from the thought of God's greatness and presence. My hope is that it is simple enough to sing, yet profound enough to cause the heart and soul to stand in wonder. I've already been overwhelmed from the response I've seen from this song.
Sermon topic this Sunday is
"Escape From Purposelessness"
John 10:39-42
Offertory Sunday will be "Homeward Bound" shared by Rachel Brown, Chad Carpenter, and Aaron Lagrone.
