Welcome / Reflection - Corinthians 14 / Corinthians 12 - "at the foot of the cross we're all the same"
At The Cross - Daniel Renstrom
Jesus Messiah - Chris Tomlin
Jesus Paid it All - (arrangement Alex Nifong/Kristian Stanfill)
Jeff gave a great sermon on Corinthians 12. He brought to light all of our tendencies to compare ourselves to each other which, if left unchecked, leads to either pride or inadequate. It was a great challenge for us, the church as a whole, and really any community in general. Jeff, thanks for your hard work serving us in the way you do each week.
In the days prior to and since Sunday, my reflecting has lead me here: When the gospel hits us in the midst of this tendency we realize that we all stand at the foot of the cross looking on our savior. In that moment we have no right to feel "better than" anyone else or "less than" anyone else. Something happens when you realize that the creator of all things had to and did die for you. It was meant to "right things" that have gone terribly wrong and to, among other things, put us back together again.
May you humbly realize the love God has for each one of us. May you realize the depths he has gone to to show each of us that love. May you receive it. May you find the joy in giving it. Amen.
Love and Peace,
-Jason

Sounds cool!
Reading the list, I thought "At The Foot Of The Cross" by Kathryn Scott would fit well.
Somehow that song missed most folks' radar, so if you haven't heard of it, check it out!
