Psalm 95
1 O come, let us sing for joy to the LORD,
Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving,
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
3 For the LORD is a great God
And a great King above all gods.
CCF’s music group and technical crew love praising God. Loudly or quietly, quickly or slowly, with words of proclamation, adoration, worship and submission we love to bring our offering of praise to Him. Usually we’re all playing in the same key and usually we all play at the same speed. (Sometimes this isn’t true but that’s mostly at rehearsal on Wednesdays – honest).
We love to pray together and to have fun together too, and over the years we have been blessed with many gracious answers to prayer and had some memorable (and utterly hilarious) social events. Lots of people have been involved as singers, musicians and technicians; and new people have come to join us in God’s time, as others move on in response to His calling.
A little while ago God challenged us to be warriors for him: to focus clearly upon our service of leading His church in praise and to guard against things that might distract us from this. He showed us the example in 2 Chronicles 20: 21 & 22 where the singers went out to battle singing "Give thanks to the LORD, for his love endures forever." in front of King Jehoshaphat’s army, and God defeated the enemy without the army needing to fight. As His church praises Him, our God is able to do marvellous things! Please pray for us, that we can follow this example.
