Rossome Thoughts Has Been Relocated!

Frankly, I’ve been meaning to do this for some time.  I purchased the domain RossomeThoughts.com awhile back and simply haven’t taken the time to transfer the site.

Well the time is NOW!

So what does this mean to you, the reader?  Not much actually.  The site will look a bit different and I’ll be able to tweak it as time goes on, but all the content and comments have remained.  However, if you subscribed to this blog via e-mail or rss feed, you’ll need to do that again.  It’s super simply and you’ll figure it out in about 4.3 seconds on you’re on the new site.

So this will be the last post here.  Head on over to RossomeThoughts.com and check the place out.  If you like it, go ahead and comment or subscribe.  I always appreciate hearing from people who actually like to read this stuff!

See you on the other side!

Sunday Setlist – 09/25/11

I’m looking forward to lead worship at Springs Calvary in the morning!  Check out the iTunes links and see if you like these songs.  My hope is that it’ll bless you as you prepare your heart to worship at your church!

O Great Love by Matt Bronleewe and Robbie Seay
Third week to use this song so we’re still getting used to it.  I think it’ll be a good starter song for this week.

It Is You by Peter Furler
I used this song at a night of worship awhile back and it was great.  I think this is kind of a sleeper song that many don’t consider using in their sets.  However, I absolutely love what it says and I think it fits our congregation great.

10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord) by Jonas Myrin and Matt Redman
One of my favorite congregational songs of the year.  A hymn like song that continues to inspire worship.

***Offering***

Overcome by Jon Egan
A powerful song about who we are in Christ and that we have overcome because of Him.

Our God by Jonas Myrin, Matt Redman, Jesse Reeves, and Chris Tomlin
This song always gets our congregation going.  Such a wonderful declaration – “and if our God is for us, then who can stand against us!”

Great I Am by Jared Anderson
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  This is probably my favorite song of the year.  Such anointing on this song.  It really moves me.

Hope your worship time ministers to the Lord this week.  Let me know some of your favorite songs you’re doing in your churches!

Sunday Setlist – 09/18/11

I’m looking forward to lead worship at Springs Calvary in the morning!  Check out the iTunes links and see if you like these songs.  My hope is that it’ll bless you as you prepare your heart to worship at your church!

We Cry Out by Brenton Brown and Jeremy Camp
I was introduced to this song by a member of our congregation.  I now use it frequently as it really sets the tone for our worship time.

Amazing God by Brenton Brown
Oh how I love this song and what it says!  “From the north and south, we are crying out!  There is hope in Jesus’ name!”

In Christ Alone by Shawn Craig and Don Koch
This song has been done by many and for good reason.  I linked to the Newsboy’s version since its the closest to the way we lead this song.  A modern day hymn for the church.

***Offering***

I Stand Amazed (How Marvelous) by Charles Hutchison Gabriel and Chris Tomlin
Charles Hutchinson Gabriel wrote over 7000 songs, but few were as far reaching as “I Stand Amazed In The Presence.”  Many have redone this song over the years as it carries a powerful anointing and a reminder of how awesome our God truly is.

How Beautiful The Cross by Living Anthem
Wonderful up-tempo song reminding us of the Lord’s sacrifice in our stead.  

O Great Love by Matt Bronleewe and Robbie Seay
I introduced this song last week and I feel that it went over really well.  I’m looking forward to seeing how the congregation responds to it in the morning.

Hope your worship time ministers to the Lord this week.  Let me know some of your favorite songs you’re doing in your churches!

Sunday Setlist – 09/11/11

A monumental Sunday in the US.  The ten year anniversary of 9-11 brings with it many memories.  Memories of fear and of courage.  How does that play into a Sunday Setlist?  I’m not 100% sure except to say that no matter what happens, God is on the throne and deserving of all glory.  So these are the song I’m leading tomorrow at  Springs Calvary.  Let me know how your church is remembering 9-11.

Because Of Your Love by Paul Baloche and Brenton Brown
Easy song to begin worship.  It’s all because of His love.

O Great Love by Matt Bronleewe and Robbie Seay
This is a new song by the Robbie Seay Band.  It speaks of His faithfulness and is definitely a song I will be singing from heart.

10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord) by Jonas Myrin and Matt Redman
Our congregation has really taken to this song.  One of my favorites for 2011.

***Offering***

You Are by Mark Roach
I haven’t led this song in quite some time.  A simple song that allows us to express God’s atributes back to him in worship and thanksgiving.

Mighty To Save by Ben Fielding and Reuben Morgan
Obviously this song is anointed and continues to draw congregations around the world in the presence of the King.

Day After Day by Jason Ingram and Kristian Stanfill
“Day after day our God is reigning, He’s never shaken, my hope is in the Lord!”  Sing it, church!

As you can see, our focus will be on Him in the midst of everything we, his children, are going through.  I hope your worship time blesses the Lord this week, too.  Let me know some of your favorite songs you’re doing in your churches!

Sunday Setlist – 08/28/11

I’m looking forward to lead worship at Springs Calvary in the morning!  Check out the iTunes links and see if you like these songs.  My hope is that it’ll bless you as you prepare your heart to worship at your church!

Bless His Name by Tony Sanchez
I’ve been using this song as an opener for worship for years now.  Such a great song to move us into a place of worship and adoration.

Reign In Us by Ben Glover, Jon Neufeld, and Tim Neufeld
A long time favorite of mine.  The melody is very catchy and gets the phrase “that You would reign, that You would reign in us!”

Day After Day by Jason Ingram and Kristian Stanfill
I’ve really enjoyed Kristian’s album.  There are still songs on this album that I haven’t introduced to our congregation that I think would go over really well!

***Offering***

Stand In Awe by Jeremy Riddle
Jeremy has written some powerful songs for the church, but this one especially moves me.

Glorified by Jared Anderson
Simple, but powerful song.  “Praise belongs to You; what can I do but sing? The greatest joy I’ve found is to lay a crown before my king.”

Sing To The King by Billy Foote and Charles Silvester Horne
Excellent song to end the set with.  A wonderful praise song to express the passion in our hearts and declare His victory.

 

Hope your worship time ministers to the Lord this week.  Let me know some of your favorite songs you’re doing in your churches!

Sunday Setlist – 08/21/11

I’m super excited about tomorrow’s set.  It’s a blessing to be leading at Springs Calvary!  I added some iTunes links to the songs so if you aren’t familiar with them, you can check them out.  Enjoy!

Cannons by Philip Wickham
Fun song with lots of imagery throughout the chorus.  Comparing our praise with “canons in the night.”

Reign In Us by Ben Glover, Jon Neufeld, and Tim Neufeld
A long time favorite of mine.  The melody is very catchy and gets the phrase “that You would reign, that You would reign in us!”

Great I Am by Jared Anderson
Easily the most powerful song I’ve introduced to our church in the last several months.

***Offering***

Doxology by David Crowder and Thomas Ken
Taking this song from A to B with a modulation.  Powerful declaration.

Always by Jason Ingram and Kristian Stanfill
Still love this song and its message.  “My God will come through, always.”

Glorious One by Steve Fee
Excellent song to end the set with.  A simple praise song to give Him the glory He is due.

Hope your worship time ministers to the Lord!

Sunday’s Setlist – 08/14/11

I’m genuinely excited about today’s set.  It’s a blessing to be leading at Springs Calvary today!

O Praise Him by David Crowder
Great song to start out the set.  This can really set the tone for the service.

Amazing God by Brenton Brown
A driving song that pushes us into a chorus of declaration.

10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord) by Jonas Myrin and Matt Redman
What can I say about this song – it’s fabulous!  Intro’d it last week and it was in my head for the next two days!

***Offering***

Adoration by Brenton Brown
This song has an incredible build all through the song.  I love where it ends up, “joining in the angel’s song.”

Day After Day by Jason Ingram and Kristian Stanfill
Tough not to love this song.  It’s gone over well at the church.

How He Loves by John Mark McMillan
We’ll end by singing of His awesome love for us.

Well, that’s our set – what are you singing in your church today?

Sunday’s Setlist – 07/31/11

Springs Calvary – Sunday, July 31st

Amazing God by Brenton Brown
A great song to begin worship.  Really sets the tone. 

Jesus Messiah by Daniel Carson, Ed Cash, Jesse Reeves, and Chris Tomlin
Simple songs are the best songs. 

We Crown You by Steve Fee and Eddie Kirkland
“for the blood that’s washed me pure…for my sin and shame no more…” 

***Offering***

Yahweh by Jon Egan and Ross Parsley
The chorus in this song is very worshipful. 

Our God by Jonas Myrin, Matt Redman, Jesse Reeves, and Chris Tomlin
If our God is for us, then who can be against us?  Something every Christian needs to sing. 

———-

What about you?  What are you singing this weekend?

Sunday’s Setlist – 07/24/11

So I think I’ll type out a few thoughts about my setlist.  It could potentially help me as I think through tomorrow’s service.  Who knows – maybe it’ll become something I do each week!

Springs Calvary – Sunday, July 24th

Bless His Name by Tony Sanchez
A great call to worship song we’ve been doing at Springs Calvary for years.  I brought this song from Wichita with me and it’s stood the test of time.

Day After Day by Jason Ingram and Kristian Stanfill
Absolutely love this song.  It’s probably about a month since we’ve intro’d it and it’s caught on very fast.  The bridge really moves me.

Mighty To Save by Ben Fielding and Reuben Morgan
Pretty easy to know why we’re doing this song.  A home run every time we play it.  The cool thing this week is that it will come right after a baptism (which is happening during the worship time – appropriate IMO.)

***Offering***
I’ve seen offering happen in all sorts of places during our worship services.  At Springs Calvary, we’ve chosen to include it as part of our worship.  Might interrupt the “musical” flow, but I think it fits in with the “worship” flow quite well.

O Come All Ye Faithful by C. Frederick Oakeley and John Francis Wade
We’ll only be doing the chorus of this song, which is a fabulous worship song no matter what the time of year.  In addition, we’ll use the alternate choruses “For You alone are worthy” and “We give You all the glory.”

Always by Jason Ingram and Kristian Stanfill
If it seems I’m on a Stanfill kick, well I am.  I intro’s this last week and it seems our church is really benefiting from being reminded of the faithfulness of our God – even in difficult times.

Happy Day by Ben Cantelon and Tim Hughes
A great way to wrap up a wonderful worship expression.  Declaring the fact that this is, indeed, a happy day simply because of what Jesus has done for us.

So what about you?  What’s your weekend set?  How do the songs help your particular congregation worship?  Post a comment and share!
