Perfect Songs for Perfect Message

Posted on July 18th, 2011 in Church Life, Sunday Setlists, Worship Confessionals by Fred McKinnon

Sunday SetlistsWell, nothing is perfect.  But the way the songs and lyrics fit the 3rd week’s message in our “Uncaged” series at SSCC this week was close to it.

I’d planned our closing song in cooperation with Jon Blankenship, who would be preaching this week … but had no idea that the rest of his sermon would literally be full of the actual lyrics and expressions in all of our songs.

I love it when it when that happens!

Overall, it was a more “contemporary” Sunday than normal, with bigger, edgier, louder music.  I expected that I may get a little more pushback than I did, but only one complaint thus far, and it was from a visitor who said they don’t want anything except traditional music.

Walk In:
My Savior Lives

Opening Song:
I Am Free

Worship Set:
Your Name
You Save (original)

Closer:
Christ Is Risen

It was awesome seeing a number of people confessing Jesus as their Lord and Savior in both services!

    Yeah, often I’m just hoping to match up the response song. I also like it when the preacher points out some of the lyrics. It sort of emphasizes that our songs are filled with Scripture.

    For your “walk in,” do you just start with no welcome or anything? Is it just instrumental? I’ve been thinking about the way we begin our services.
