Hallelujah! What A Savior

Have I got the best Christmas presents for y'all! You don't even have to get me anything in return because thats just the way I roll. The Austin Stone is going through a series with the same title as this post. Check it out here: http://www.austinstone.org/resources/sermons/category/hallelujah_what_a_savior/
Learn what "hallelujah", how the three shepherds must have felt and about the one place in the bible where the word hallelujah is used and where you specifically might be mentioned in the bible. Trust me, this is a great series.

One of our worship leaders, Aaron Ivey, also teamed up with some of the pastors and staff and came up with a new Christmas worship song that is simply amazing. They have also made it free for download on the church website: http://files.austinstone.org/audio/mp3/Hallelujah,_What_A_Savior.zip
It is a zip file with 2 mp3s (original and acoustic version). If you feel like it, you can also get it HERE and leave a tip (or not, still free) for the artist. Finally, you can also get it from the artist's website here: http://aaronivey.com/
Either way, you won't be disappointed.


And last but not least...the History of Redemption. I could tell you about it, but there is already a great website that'll do the trick. Check it out: http://www.historyofredemption.org/
While you are there, don't miss the link to watch the sermon...it's God's story, a full sermon/story of the bible from cover to cover straight from scripture. I've said too much already, click the link and give yourself just a little time to watch/hear an amazing story. By the way, if you are still looking for a last minute gift, the History of Redemption would be prefect! Great story, great art and it comes with a disc to help memorize the scripture.

Merry Christmas!

Biblical Manhood

Sin of Laziness and Immaturity...that's me, right there. Been "wanting" to study for myself more on the great message God gave us through Matt Carter at the Austin Stone Community Church, and I just don't do it. If your reading and praying, please prayer for me to stay focused on studying His word.

I hope all of you, men and women, single or married, will take some time to listen to the Biblical Manhood series that was served up to us last month. It is short, a 3 week series, but it is unbelievably convicting and urgent that we understand this message. Am I one of the very few that has always thought Eve sinned first and was alone when she ate the forbidden fruit? Just more proof that I need to study God's word more.

So here is the audio for the first sermon, Biblical Manhood Part I. Listen online here or download the MP3 here. Here is their blog post to help you apply the sermon. I am not a "thinker," philosophy is just a killer scrabbler word to me. So I'd like to hear from you and what you think about part I. Going to try and spend a few days on this and then will come back and post part II. But don't wait for me if you want to keep going. You can find the rest of the series (and more) right here. Look for the sermons on Feb 14th, 21st and 28th.

If you are an iPod/Phone user, you can get their podcasts (free) right here.

Death in Adam, Life in Christ
Romans 5:17 - For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
