What Value?
Ok, so this latest attempt of a blog is my first since I got sucked into Facebook and Twitter, and I have to wonder, what’s the point?
I mean, since I broadcast anything noteworthy in my life in 140 characters or less on Twitter or 140 characters of more on Facebook, I find everything I want to stick on my blog has already been put on Twitter and Facebook and I’m just duplicating...

Today at i61 we had our first wedding! From church in a pub to wedding in a pub :)
First off, can I just say everyone who came in early to set up is a superstar, it’s not easy making a pub look weddingy, but you managed it with aplomb!
Leading worship at a wedding is so different to a regular Sunday. Our stage is very low, and the...

This blog post is a part of Sunday Setlists.
Today was a bank holiday. Bank holidays are weird because there’s a party atmosphere but numbers are usually low because people are away.
As far as worship goes, today was a bit of an experiment. I finally admitted defeat in my attempt to get the team using in-ear monitors and at practice we switched back to using floor monitors. But it was...
I spoke at i61 this weekend, this is my message.
Worship Confessional
This blog entry is part of Sunday Setlist.
Today I preached so I was able to enjoy and worship wholeheartedly from the front today. A rare treat for me, daughter#1 was in a daddy mood so I held her while we worshipped together. It was a great moment, she snuggled into my neck and stroked my hair (her sugar, as she likes to call it) while we danced together. At one point she even put her hand up...
Flogging a dead horse
How long do you stick with a new song before admitting it just doesn’t work?
Every Sunday at i61 the focus of our meeting is on the person there for the first time, it’s our outreach. We teach those who come to i61 (at i61 Discovery - see SteveO if you haven’t done it yet!) that Sundays are not for us, Sundays are for people who don’t know Jesus.
Because of this there are...
Tough Week
Why is it that the week leading up to when I preach is always so difficult?
Ok, I know the answer, Satan wants me to fail, blah, blah, blah, get a new plan.
I get tired of it all, but I don’t let it get me down. Give it up Satan, it’s not going to work!
I’m preaching on the Kingdom of God on Sunday, please pray for me.

I’ve just been up in my loft (attic, to you North Americans). One day Sarah and I hope to turn it into a master bedroom suite, but that’s just a pipe dream right now.
We are, however, looking at ways to improve access to the loft so we can at least use it for storage. At the moment we have a tiny hatch in the bathroom that is, not only hard to get through, but it’s in the...
Worship Confessional
Since this blog is brand new this is my first week participating in the FredMcKinnon.Com Sunday Setlist Blog Carnival.
Worship practice was pretty hectic today, with people away we hadn’t been able to nail King if Wonders, so it was touch and go whether we’d actually use it today. Thankfully it all went very well so we kept it in. But it meant we had to rush through the set.
Pastor...
Worship Preview
This Sunday we’ll be starting with Because of Your Love, by Al Gordon. It’s a great upbeat way to start and get people engaged and worshipping their maker. “This is how I know what love is, this is how I know I’m free, this is how I know salvation, Jesus came and died for me! Oh yeah!
From there we’ll move into Jesus Saves by Tim Hughes. From thanking Jesus for his love...

My Morning Problem
I have this problem in the mornings, it’s not that I suffer from depression or anxiety or anything like that and can’t get out of bed, no, my problem is my two and a half year old daughter, Kyria.
I like to sleep, Kyria likes to wake up early. You see where I’m going with this?
Kyria likes to get up at 5.30am, I don’t.
I try to put her back to bed, but she can’t...
I feel like I've been here before
I’m starting a new blog, not sure what I’m going to write about, only time will tell I suppose!
I’ve tried blogs before, some have lasted for a while, some have faded into obscurity after just a few days, I think it depends on my mood.
Will this blog last? I don’t know.
Will this blog be worth reading? Probably not.
But I’ve made it look all pretty, so I’m...
