Passage: 13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” 14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?” 15 And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” 16 And he told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man produced plentifully, 17 and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?' 18 And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.”' 20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' 21 So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.” (Luke 12:13-21 ESV) Song: Crowns by Benjamin Hastings, Michael Fatkin, and Scott Groom Lyrics: There is a hill I cherish Where stood a precious tree The emblem of salvation The gift of Calvary How is it I should profit While He is crucified Yet as His life was taken So I was granted mine (And all) My wealth is in the cross There's nothing more I want Than just to know His love My heart is set on Christ And I will count all else as loss The greatest of my crowns Means nothing to me now For I counted up the cost And all my wealth is in the cross (Yes all my wealth is in the cross) I will not boast in riches I have no pride in gold But I will boast in Jesus And in His Name alone And when I stand in glory My crowns before the Lord Let this be my confession My wealth is in the cross And all my wealth is in the cross My wealth is in the cross And all my wealth is in the cross Prayer: O Almighty God, Father and Lord of all creatures… I most humbly implore you to give me wisdom from above, that I may adore you, and admire your ways and footsteps, which are in the great deep and not to be searched out; teach me to submit to your providence in all things, to be content in all changes of persons and condition; to be temperate in prosperity, and to read my duty in the lines of your mercy; and in adversity to be meek, patient, and resigned; and to look through the cloud, that I may wait for consolation of the Lord, and the day of redemption; in the meantime doing my duty with an unwearied diligence and an undisturbed resolution, having no fondness for the vanities or possessions of this world, but laying up my hopes in heaven, and being strengthened with the spirit of the inner man, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.​ -Jeremy Taylor

Passage: 18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper corresponding to him.” 19 The Lord God formed out of the ground every wild animal and every bird of the sky, and brought each to the man to see what he would call it. And whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the sky, and to every wild animal; but for the man no helper was found corresponding to him. 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to come over the man, and he slept. God took one of his ribs and closed the flesh at that place. 22 Then the Lord God made the rib he had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 And the man said: This one, at last, is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh; this one will be called “woman,” for she was taken from man. 24 This is why a man leaves his father and mother and bonds with his wife, and they become one flesh. 25 Both the man and his wife were naked, yet felt no shame. -- Genesis 2:18-25 (CSB) Reflection: Song: Eden (Isn't It Just Like You?) by Aodhan King, Benjamin Hastings, Brandon Lake, Dylan Thomas, Hank Bentley, Joel Houston, and Michael Fatkin Lyrics: Oh Eden's tree The choice within their hands As the serpent whispered from beneath Where Your grace exceeds The sum of all our lack For I am Adam I am Eve Isn't it just like You To turn it all around for good Like only You could Like only You would You turn it all around for good And when You do You do it so it's done for good Like only You could Like only You would You turn it all around for good Oh Calvary's tree The nails within Your hands And laughter swept the crowds beneath Where Your grace exceeds The sum of all our lack For I'm a thief upon a tree Isn't it just like You Just like You Oh the vast extent of my regrets And all my deepest fears Were buried in a garden Where You wept and bled in tears For You climbed a hill not Yours to climb They thought Your fate was sealed For the serpent tried to take you down But he only bruised Your heel See the empty grave is overgrown And the earth begins to heal For the enemy is overthrown And the darkness finally yields So now I don't owe a thing to death Should ever he appear For death can only borrow breath No longer can he steal Isn't it just like You Isn't it just like You to go and make it new Isn't it just like You It's just like You You're making all things new You don't stop until it's done Oh tree of life There's hope in every branch And the serpent's nowhere to be seen Where Your grace completes The sum of all our lack For I am Adam I am Eve And Eden's my eternity Abbreviated Passage: Prayer: This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen. -The Book of Common Prayer

Sunday's Sermon: Aliso Creek Church Podcast (https://alisocreekchurchpodcast.fireside.fm) Passage: 1 After this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias ). 2 A huge crowd was following him because they saw the signs that he was performing by healing the sick. 3 Jesus went up a mountain and sat down there with his disciples. 4 Now the Passover, a Jewish festival, was near. 5 So when Jesus looked up and noticed a huge crowd coming toward him, he asked Philip, “Where will we buy bread so that these people can eat? ” 6 He asked this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do. 7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread wouldn't be enough for each of them to have a little.” 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, 9 “There's a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish ​— ​but what are they for so many? ” 10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place; so they sat down. The men numbered about five thousand. 11 Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks he distributed them to those who were seated ​— ​so also with the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 When they were full, he told his disciples, “Collect the leftovers so that nothing is wasted.” 13 So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces from the five barley loaves that were left over by those who had eaten. 14 When the people saw the sign he had done, they said, “This truly is the Prophet who is to come into the world.” 15 Therefore, when Jesus realized that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain by himself. -- John 6:1-15 (CSB) Song: Gratitude (https://open.spotify.com/track/6Zk0QTZqAXKOFxrH4R1eEH?si=65938b094d214503) by Benjamin Hastings, Brandon Lake, and Dante Bowe Prayer: Gracious Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: Evermore give us this bread, that he may live in us, and we in him; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Passage: 1 Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You can't eat from any tree in the garden'? ” 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit from the trees in the garden. 3 But about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God said, ‘You must not eat it or touch it, or you will die.' ” 4 “No! You will certainly not die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “In fact, God knows that when you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 The woman saw that the tree was good for food and delightful to look at, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. 8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 So the Lord God called out to the man and said to him, “Where are you? ” 10 And he said, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.” 11 Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from? ” 12 The man replied, “The woman you gave to be with me ​— ​she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate.” 13 So the Lord God asked the woman, “What have you done? ” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” 14 So the Lord God said to the serpent: Because you have done this, you are cursed more than any livestock and more than any wild animal. You will move on your belly and eat dust all the days of your life. 15 I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel. 16 He said to the woman: I will intensify your labor pains; you will bear children with painful effort. Your desire will be for your husband, yet he will rule over you. 17 And he said to the man, “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘Do not eat from it': The ground is cursed because of you. You will eat from it by means of painful labor all the days of your life. 18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. 19 You will eat bread by the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground, since you were taken from it. For you are dust, and you will return to dust.” 20 The man named his wife Eve because she was the mother of all the living. 21 The Lord God made clothing from skins for the man and his wife, and he clothed them. -- Genesis 3:1-21 (CSB) Song: Eden (Isn't It Just Like You?) (https://open.spotify.com/track/2ov1Sce9dCuo6slLJ8O9Ku?si=7089a20dcbec4ea5) by Aodhan King, Benjamin Hastings, Brandon Lake, Dylan Thomas, Hank Bentley, Joel Houston, and Michael Fatkin Lyrics: Oh Eden's tree The choice within their hands As the serpent whispered from beneath Where Your grace exceeds The sum of all our lack For I am Adam I am Eve Isn't it just like You To turn it all around for good Like only You could Like only You would You turn it all around for good And when You do You do it so it's done for good Like only You could Like only You would You turn it all around for good Oh Calvary's tree The nails within Your hands And laughter swept the crowds beneath Where Your grace exceeds The sum of all our lack For I'm a thief upon a tree Isn't it just like You Just like You Oh the vast extent of my regrets And all my deepest fears Were buried in a garden Where You wept and bled in tears For You climbed a hill not Yours to climb They thought Your fate was sealed For the serpent tried to take you down But he only bruised Your heel See the empty grave is overgrown And the earth begins to heal For the enemy is overthrown And the darkness finally yields So now I don't owe a thing to death Should ever he appear For death can only borrow breath No longer can he steal Isn't it just like You Isn't it just like You to go and make it new Isn't it just like You It's just like You You're making all things new You don't stop until it's done Oh tree of life There's hope in every branch And the serpent's nowhere to be seen Where Your grace completes The sum of all our lack For I am Adam I am Eve And Eden's my eternity Abbreviated Passage: Prayer: Almighty God, the fountain of wisdom, you know our necessities before we ask, and our ignorance in asking—we ask you to have compassion upon our weaknesses; and those things, which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask, grant to give us for the worthiness of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.  -Book of Common Prayer (1552)

If you've joined us recently as a new listener chances are there are a bunch of great episodes in the back-log you haven't listened to yet! This is one of them. Benjamin Hastings is an incredibly gifted songwriter and lyricist, most known for some of the songs he's written with Hillsong, including ‘So Will I', ‘O Praise the Name' and ‘Highlands'. His songs collectively have more than 500 million streams.Hillsong worship leaders probably  aren't the image you typically think of when you hear the phrase ‘Spiritual Misfit'. But our conversation with Ben was a great reminder that human beings — whether on platforms or in lounge rooms — have questions. Live within mystery. And doubt. And faith. And mess. And beauty. This is what honest spirituality looks like. And Ben is a true spiritual seeker, not satisfied with easy answers, and deeply committed to bringing his whole mind, heart and being to the search for deep truth.Ben shared some of his own story with us — about the unravelling and the searching and the creative process in the midst of it all. And it was such a joy.And as an incredibly special treat, Ben played us two of our favourite songs of his at the end of our chat. Stick around to the end of the episode and you'll hear these songs played exclusively for our Spiritual Misfits community.

Opening Song: Gratitude (https://open.spotify.com/track/6Zk0QTZqAXKOFxrH4R1eEH?si=c588f676e10d404d) by Benjamin Hastings, Brandon Lake, and Dante Bowe, sung by Hillside Recording Lyrics: All my words fall short I got nothing new How could I express All my gratitude I could sing these songs As I often do But every song must end And You never do So I throw up my hands And praise You again and again ‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah hallelujah And I know it's not much But I've nothing else fit for a king Except for a heart singing hallelujah Hallelujah I've got one response I've got just one move With my arms stretched wide I will worship You Come on my soul Oh don't you get shy on me Lift up your song ‘Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs Get up and praise the Lord Passage: God shall arise, his enemies shall be scattered; and those who hate him shall flee before him! 2 As smoke is driven away, so you shall drive them away; as wax melts before fire, so the wicked shall perish before God! 3 But the righteous shall be glad; they shall exult before God; they shall be jubilant with joy! 4 Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts; his name is the Lord; exult before him! 5 Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. 6 God settles the solitary in a home; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a parched land. 7 O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah 8 the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain, before God, the One of Sinai, before God,[a] the God of Israel. 9 Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad; you restored your inheritance as it languished; 10 your flock[b] found a dwelling in it; in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy. 11 The Lord gives the word; the women who announce the news are a great host: 12 “The kings of the armies—they flee, they flee!” The women at home divide the spoil— 13 though you men lie among the sheepfolds— the wings of a dove covered with silver, its pinions with shimmering gold. 14 When the Almighty scatters kings there, let snow fall on Zalmon. 15 O mountain of God, mountain of Bashan; O many-peaked[c] mountain, mountain of Bashan! 16 Why do you look with hatred, O many-peaked mountain, at the mount that God desired for his abode, yes, where the Lord will dwell forever? 17 The chariots of God are twice ten thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them; Sinai is now in the sanctuary. 18 You ascended on high, leading a host of captives in your train and receiving gifts among men, even among the rebellious, that the Lord God may dwell there. 19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Selah 20 Our God is a God of salvation, and to God, the Lord, belong deliverances from death. Musical Reflection: Jesus Loves Me by William B. Bradbury Reflection Notes: This sweet and familiar song was written in 1861 for the composer's church school and has become a favorite because of the warm reminders associated with its text: “Jesus loves me, this I know.” Prayer: Grant me, O most loving Lord, to rest in you above all creatures, above all health and beauty, above all glory and honor, above all power and dignity, above all knowledge and subtlety, above all riches and art, above all fame and praise, above all sweetness and comfort, above all hope and promise, above all gifts and favors that you can give and impart to us, above all jubilee that the mind of man can receive and feel; finally, above all angels and archangels, and above all heavenly host, above all things visible and invisible, and above all that you are not, O my God. Amen.  -Thomas à Kempis

The gospel changes everything about who we are, what we do, and where we are headed! It changes our eternal destiny. What made the gospel possible? What Jesus has done; in other words, the testimony of Jesus. We pray that as we study the gospel together, our lives would be changed for His kingdom and righteousness!

This week's episode continues our series on The Journey of a Songwriter. We have Mike Murray joining us to talk about song publishing. He emphasizes the importance of networking and building relationships in the music industry. As a publisher, he meets with songwriters and artists to understand what they want to create and then connects them with other professionals, such as producers and writers, to bring their vision to life. This episode provides a fascinating insight into the world of song publishing and a music publisher's work. Mike's experience and industry knowledge offer valuable advice for aspiring songwriters and anyone interested in pursuing a career in the Christian music industry. Mike has been working in Nashville with Christian record labels since 1997, serving 7 years with Capitol CMG, 5 years with Provident Label Group, 12 years with Integrity Music, and most recently has joined Hillsong Music Publishing as their Head of Creative (still based in Nashville). During those years, he has had the honor of working with GRAMMY, Dove Award and Stellar Award-winning artists and songwriters like Hillsong UNITED, Leeland, Kari Jobe, All Sons & Daughters, Benjamin Hastings, Matt Redman, Mitch Wong, Lincoln Brewster, Israel & New Breed, Ben Tan, Paul Baloche, William McDowell and more. Prior to his time with labels, Mike paid his "roadie" dues for a couple of years, touring with 4-Him and with Geoff Moore & The Distance.

Singer and songwriter Benjamin William Hastings is known for his work with Hillsong United. Coming out of the world-wide pandemic and the public controversies at Hillsong Church, Benjamin said the band responded by choosing to tour.  Host and fellow musician Paul Cardall shares his view about the tour and the concert he and his wife attended in Las Vegas. Like other band members, Benjamin has released a solo record about his personal struggles and how he's wrestled with God.  They discuss the general challenge of faith and the complexity of pursing a relationship with God. The ups and downs of belief, which is a discussion millions of people of faith resonate with. Benjamin and Paul talk discuss some of the songs on his solo album and how Benjamin unpacks his thoughts and how songwriting has been a form of therapy to process faith and renew Benjamin's commitment to God because, as one lyric says, "The blessings follow." They talk about the guilt some Christian artists feel about selling merchandise and Benjamin's song that responds to that feeling with, "The Jesus I Know." Paul, who was born with congenital heart disease or CHD, discovers Benjamin's son also has CHD along with another of his band member's child.  ABOUT BENJAMIN HASTINGSBenjamin William Hastings (born 15 November 1991) is a Northern Irish musician, songwriter and is currently a worship leader in the Sydney-based band, Hillsong United, a worship band of Hillsong Church.Hastings has been an active part of the worship team since 2013 when he helped write Hillsong Worship's 2013 Easter Song, Victory.

Opening Song: Gratitude (https://open.spotify.com/track/6Zk0QTZqAXKOFxrH4R1eEH?si=c588f676e10d404d) by Benjamin Hastings, Brandon Lake, and Dante Bowe, sung by Hillside Recording Lyrics: All my words fall short I got nothing new How could I express All my gratitude I could sing these songs As I often do But every song must end And You never do So I throw up my hands And praise You again and again ‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah hallelujah And I know it's not much But I've nothing else fit for a king Except for a heart singing hallelujah Hallelujah I've got one response I've got just one move With my arms stretched wide I will worship You Come on my soul Oh don't you get shy on me Lift up your song ‘Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs Get up and praise the Lord Passage: He entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. 3 And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. 4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he hurried and came down and received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it, they all grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” 8 And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.” 9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Musical Reflection: I Need Thee Every Hour (NEED) by Robert Lowry Reflection Notes: Each stanza of this familiar hymn was written by Annie Hawks as part of a poem. When she showed the composition to her pastor, Robert Lowry, he added the refrain and set the text to music for their congregation to enjoy. The musical lines always tend upward before falling back down, an apt parallel to the textual pleas reaching up to God. Prayer: God grant that we may live our lives here without trouble and in security, and attain the joys of eternal life, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and his love for us, to whom be glory and might, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and always, and to the ages of ages. Amen. -Chrysostom

We had a chat with Benjamin Hastings about his new self titled album, how the Lord was involved in his songwriting process through deconstruction and reconstruction, his thoughts about lyric writing and a bunch more!

Ben Hastings, the worship artist behind "So Will I (100 Billion X)" and "Highlands: Song of Ascent," shares with us how he learned to write heartfelt worship music, why the Church should be more honest in what we sing to God and how we can celebrate God even in the midst of doubt. Plus, the cast barely keeps it together while talking about Sylvester Stallone, the rise and fall of TV trays, method acting, pastrami sandwiches and so much more.

Benjamin Hastings is an incredibly gifted songwriter and lyricist, most known for some of the songs he's written with Hillsong, including ‘So Will I', ‘O Praise the Name' and ‘Highlands'. His songs collectively have more than 500 million streams.Hillsong worship leaders probably  aren't the image you typically think of when you hear the phrase ‘Spiritual Misfit'. But our conversation with Ben was a great reminder that human beings — whether on platforms or in lounge rooms — have questions. Live within mystery. And doubt. And faith. And mess. And beauty. This is what honest spirituality looks like. And Ben is a true spiritual seeker, not satisfied with easy answers, and deeply committed to bringing his whole mind, heart and being to the search for deep truth.Ben shared some of his own story with us — about the unravelling and the searching and the creative process in the midst of it all. And it was such a joy.And as an incredibly special treat, Ben played us two of our favourite songs of his at the end of our chat. Stick around to the end of the episode and you'll hear these songs played exclusively for our Spiritual Misfits community.
