NEW SONG: I Was An Orphan (Grace Alone)
We love to sing new songs at Emmanuel. Especially songs about God and the gospel. Which means we’ll love this new song called Grace Alone. Left to ourselves we would die in our sins. But God has been very gracious to us. It’s His grace, His unmerited kindness to us, which saves us and only His grace. […]
NEW SONG: Holy Spirit, Living Breath Of God
It’s Pentecost this Sunday, the day when we remember the gift of the Holy Spirit given to the Church. That makes it a great Sunday to learn the song Holy Spirit, Living Breath Of God. Here’s what Keith Getty said about the song: “As in much of our songwriting, we wanted to connect the radical truths […]
NEW SONG: A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Christians have always faced strong opposition. In the 1500s, many were discovering the truth of the Bible for the first time as the Reformation swept through Europe. With the Catholic Church at the height of its powers, those who translated the Bible so that ordinary people could read it or who preached a message of salvation […]
NEW SONG: How Can It Be
On Easter Sunday we learnt a great new song called, How Can It Be (aka Christ Is Risen!). It’s a call to rejoice and live in the light of the resurrection of Jesus. As we come to study 2 Timothy together, it’s especially good as it calls us to continue proclaiming the gospel despite any suffering which might […]
NEW SONG: Now Why This Fear
On Sunday, we’re singing a new song called Now Why This Fear. If you ever find yourself doubting whether God has truly forgiven you or if secretly He’s still angry at you for your sin, this song is just for you. It reminds us of how Jesus has fully dealt with all our sin and the […]
Esther Intro Video
Last Sunday we started a new series in the book of Esther. If you missed the first sermon, catch up online here. To help us see how this story fits with the rest of the Bible story, we watched this short introduction video produced by Mars Hill Church. It’s really well done and captures the heartache […]
NEW SONG: God Moves
This Sunday we’re learning a new song called God Moves. William Cowper was a hymnwriter from the 1700s who was very familiar with suffering. Three times he tried to commit suicide. He spent some time in an asylum in my home town of St Albans. But through all of his struggles he gained a deep appreciation […]
NEW SONG: Man Of Sorrows
This Sunday we’re learning a great new song called Man Of Sorrows. The title might not sound very new for those familiar with old hymns! But it’s more than just a new tune to old words. If anything, the writers have taken great lines and ideas from lots of old hymns and put them together into […]
NEW SONG: Lift High The Name Of Jesus
This Sunday we’re learning a great new song called Lift High The Name Of Jesus. It’s based on 1 Peter 3:15 – “But in your hearts honour Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defence to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do […]
