Setlist - 15 Nov 2015
Sunday morning at Kings

I had quite an upbeat set planned for this morning but switched everything around yesterday evening to give us more room to acknowledge the awful stories in the news, particularly the attacks in Paris.

My aim in responding to difficult circumstances is to let them be what they are, not try to smooth anything over or give false comfort, but also to lift our vision beyond these (mercifully) temporary sorrows. It can be a delicate balance, but I think that's what every soul is looking for.

'In Christ Alone' is such a solid anthem for such times. An articulate expression of Christian hope, with acknowledgement of our state but all the focus on Christ.

The final lines of 'Here Is Love' felt very appropriate today:

And heaven's peace and perfect justice
Kissed a guilty world in love

Katherine preached a strong sermon on how to live as Christians in this world. We responded in various ways, including a first Morning Worship play of 'Great Are You, Lord'.
