The next series!! (leading into Easter)

Just a few thoughts on the next series:

March 29th (It's not about rules, but grace)
the idea: being religious meant following rules in his day and he came to show that it was more because of love and grace.

April 5th (up=down, power=sacrifice)
the idea: that to be the greatest you have to be the least
Dean will be focusing on the story of Jesus coming into Jerusalem knowing he was coming to give his life

April 12th (EASTER - power and transformation)
the idea: Dean will be talking about life transformation being all about the power God has rather than you working harder (geared heavily toward those that aren't Christians)
He really wants upbeat celebration type stuff at the beginning and then a more reflective (decision) moment near the end.

  1. Here are some songs that might work for this series:
    'The Motions' by Matthew West
    'Believe' by Brooks& Dunn -especially for Easter

    Can we please do "He's Alive" for Easter worship?

  2. Denise,
    I like the Matthew West song a long. I think it might fit for the second week. I'll have to listen to the Brooks and Dunn song too.
    Thanks for the ideas!

  3. What's the "He's Alive" song? Do you mean "All Because of Jesus" the worship song? Just wondered.

  4. Check out this video on youtube. Thought it would be good to use as a drama/dance for Easter.
