5. “here is our king”

steve did a great job bringing the two-punch to jBow’s talk last sunday. more historical context - this time focusing on caesar augustus, who was known in the roman world as “savior of the world”.

for those readers who are familiar with modern worship music, it might be surprising, but we introduced david crowder’s “here is our king” for the first time ever at crosspointe. to borrow from an old nbc slogan - if you haven’t sung it, it’s new to you.

our pastor of communications, don smith, made his solo vocal debut today singing “come and worship” by bebo norman. he was really nervous, having not sung a solo in over 10 years. but he rocked it. i was proud of my bald friend.

i pretty much have no voice left after today. not sure what is the issue, but i’m hoping it’s worked out by thursday night for the first of our 4 christmas eve services. no big deal…except it makes it really hard to yell at my wife and daughter.
