Worship Sunday 2014

I really love the direction that Faith Community Church has been heading in as Ps Benny has been leading us into the intentional disciplemaking blueprint. What I love about it is that we are culture-setting in a way which affects our own values and at the same time, seeing some visible changes in the way […]

Setlist: Kingsway Christian Church (2 February 2014)

It’s an honour to be invited back to Kingsway Christian Church to lead worship. It’s been months since I’ve gone to Kingsway. The last time I was there, they were still meeting on Sunday evenings. I can’t wait to see what God is doing in their midst and the growth they are experiencing. As it […]

Set List: Faith Community Church (19 January 2014)

I’m excited as we prepare for our team’s first worship session for 2014. It’s always good to start the year on a positive note. Recently, Ps Benny shared in his “Back to the Future” message about how the Hebrew conception of time can be denoted by the word picture of a rower. The rower faces […]

Our Toughest Set Yet

For the worship team, Christmas is both a time of celebration and dread. Celebration, because of the wonderful theme of Christ’s incarnation and the manifestation of God’s salvation plan for all mankind; and roast turkey and festive carol-singing. Because everyone loves to sing carols. But dread, because whilst everyone loves to sing carols, the worship […]

The Lord Gives and the Lord Takes: Approaching Worship With Sincerity

When many worship songs written these days verge on being lyrically flakey, Matt Redman continues to buck the trend in writing singable melodies paired with rich theological meaning. I love Redman’s song “Blessed Be Your Name” for those reasons. It is poetic, using contrasting imagery in each couplet, and yet forcefully reiterating a truth that […]

Set List: Faith Community Church (17 November 2013)

I’m really excited as Fantastic Team 3 prepares to lead worship this Sunday at Faith Community Church. Every time our team is on, there is a real sense of excitement, as if it were all playing together for the first time. And I think that’s the way it should be! So often, our service to […]

Set List: Faith Community Church (15 September 2013)

It’s actually been a long time since I last posted on this blog. In part, it has been due to the busy-ness of my new role as Assistant Worship Director of Faith Community Church. It has meant spending more time with people and less time in terms of my personal pursuits, such as writing. I […]

Set List: Faith Community Church (23 June 2013)

I had the privilege of serving yesterday with Band 4 at Faith Community Church for the Sunday Service. Continuing from my thoughts yesterday on “Personal Genesis”, I felt that God was releasing a new anointing on our band. I actually wish I had the music recorded from yesterday’s service because the sound that was released […]

Setlist: Deborah Company “Light Up Your World” Conference (22 June 2013)

I have the privilege of leading worship at Deborah Company’s “Light Up Your World” Conference this Saturday 22 June 2013. As I was preparing for the session, I really sensed that God would do a couple of things during the worship time. Firstly, an increasing of faith to believe that God can use ordinary men […]

Set List: Young Working Adults Retreat (25 May 2013)

I had the privilege of leading worship at Faith Community Church’s Young Working Adults retreat. It was the first time in recent memory that the entire YWA zone got together. The YWA zone had grown significantly in the past year to over 100 people. Even though the set-up was quite simple, just two vocals and […]
