This song chokes me up every time as I think about God as a strong tower standing tall in the storm. Unwavering. A never collapsing tower that I get to run to and hold on to when nothing makes sense. Here is the actual music video that would not allow me to display. Enjoy this song as you read today’s One Sentence Bible.

Joose – August 16, 2009 from Newsong Church on Vimeo.

Here is my sermon (called: Aligning Our Expectations) from yesterday at Newsong Church, where Dave Gibbons (who just spoke at the infamous Willow Creek Leadership Summit) is the senior pastor. This was such a humbling experience. [Especially since I am secretly obsessed with Dave and Newsong!] Not only did this sermon get to be heard live by those at church, it also got broadcast live over the Internet as well to all of the people across the world who weekly subscribe to Newsong’s services.

I preached on Proverbs 16:1-7 which says:

¹ To man belong the plans of the heart,
       but from the LORD comes the reply of the tongue.

 ² All a man’s ways seem innocent to him,
       but motives are weighed by the LORD.

 ³ Commit to the LORD whatever you do,
       and your plans will succeed.

 ⁴ The LORD works out everything for his own ends—
       even the wicked for a day of disaster.

 ⁵ The LORD detests all the proud of heart.
       Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.

 ⁶ Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;
       through the fear of the LORD a man avoids evil.

 ⁷ When a man’s ways are pleasing to the LORD,
       he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.

I pray this sermon blesses you, and keep our motives, plans and actions committed to the Lord no matter what the outcome.

Any thoughts or questions on what I communicated?

Much love.
