New Song: Abide
มุมมอง 685 หลายเดือนก่อน
This song by Shane & Shane comes straight from the gospel of John. The verses speak to our need for God in all areas of our life...waking up in the morning, our food, our salvation and then for the hope of heaven after death. In all of that, we are dependent on the Lord. This dependance is part of learning to abide in the Lord. The last line of the chorus is a beautiful prayer to God..."hold me...
A Big Step Towards Community
มุมมอง 215 หลายเดือนก่อน
We are want to heat up the value of COMMUNITY at Emmanuel. One of the first steps is changing our service times on Sunday, August 4th to 9:00 and 11:00 AM to give us a full hour between the two services. This means we'll have to start our rehearsal at 6:45 AM, but we think it will be worth it to give us time to build these critical relationships. Other changes are coming, but this is a first bi...
New Song: Good Plans
มุมมอง 316 หลายเดือนก่อน
This past week, we sang "Good Plans" for the first time. It comes from 3 different stories in the Bible: the 23rd Psalm, Genesis 3 and the book of Exodus...but wait...now that I think about it, there might be another story in there. Let's head outside to find out...
FILO 2024 Update
มุมมอง 576 หลายเดือนก่อน
We took a small group of ECC people to the FILO Conference this week. FILO stands for "first in, last out". You are the people who are always the first in and the last out. You have committed yourselves to giving glory to God and helping others worship. We are one team of artists, but we couldn't do this without our tech artists. Thank you.
Biblical Connections-Conflict
มุมมอง 226 หลายเดือนก่อน
Conflict is nothing new. What was amazing to me was to see misunderstanding play out in both the books of Joshua and John. In Joshua, the people of Israel almost fall into a civil war and in John Nicodemus can't wrap his head around what it means to be born again. In both cases, we see people sit down to work out conflict and in both cases, they find life...
Biblical Connections-Eternal Mercy
มุมมอง 207 หลายเดือนก่อน
We have a God who WAS and who IS and who IS TO COME. That means that he is able to see the past the present and the future, or you could just say that he is eternal! His mercy is eternal! We continue to see BIBLICAL CONNECTIONS between Deuteronomy and the book of Luke. God knew that the people of Israel wouldn't keep the Law. Jesus knew that his disciples didn't understand his death and resurre...
Biblical Connections Simple?
มุมมอง 197 หลายเดือนก่อน
To understand Jesus’ words, you have to dig and embrace wisdom instead of the religious traditions you’ve grown up with. At least that's what jumped out at me in this Biblical Connection...Maybe the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom?
Biblical Connections 3
มุมมอง 297 หลายเดือนก่อน
We are looking at the connections between the Old and New Testaments. Check out the connections between Deuteronomy 4:1-7 and Luke 10:25-11:4. Jesus came to fulfill the law and that jumps off the page here...
Biblical Connections Good Friday
มุมมอง 257 หลายเดือนก่อน
On Good Friday, what Biblical Connections do we see between the books of Numbers, Mark and Psalms? Well, I'm glad you asked because it shows us that we still act like "sheep without a shepherd", but Jesus not only died for us as both the lamb of God and the Good Shepherd, but that he gives us the perfect prayer for today...

There are so many connections between the different sections of the Bible. What are the connections of distance and proximity in Psalms, Exodus and the book of Mark? Those are BIBLICAL connections!

ECC Platform Attire Guidelines
มุมมอง 809 หลายเดือนก่อน
We don't want to have a "rule based" system. Instead, we want to follow Paul's direction that "We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.” If that's the goal, then we do need to have some clear communication about guidelines for attire on the platform as we give glory to God and to help others worship.
Old Carols Coventry Carol
มุมมอง 3111 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is an old/odd carol that doesn't get sung much. And there is a reason for that! First, what does "lullay" mean and why is King Herod mentioned in Vs 3? That is just the tip of the iceberg as we see what this carol tells us about Jesus the King of Kings who was born as a helpless baby in a rough and dirty manger....
Isn't it amazing how God brings us to Scripture so that we are able to see our sin. This happens to me often and it always amazes me.
Thank you for creating this. I know you did it for your own team. I’m a worship leader and was looking at this song and thinking about where do all these meetings come from that he puts into the words. I know they sound biblical, but I didn’t dig in yet and I thought there’s got to be some story behind these lines.man, you just did a whole mini sermon in this song. Well done you’re doing a great job. I look forward to seeing more videos that you share for the rest of us to encourage our teams as well.
We LOVE this and are thrilled that you were here and that it blessed your team!
Yessssssss!
Love it Sam!! Thank you...👍
I wish we could be there, we have 5 children spending the weekend with us. Hopefully we will be able to see it sometime too
Thanks Sam, probably the closest I'll come to this trail,but really appreciated your reflections, God is so good! His mercies are new every morning
Yes! Thanks for the comment!
“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. Job 12
A lot of people fall INTO the canyon taking pictures! So beware of the selfie at the canyon!
