Si hay algo que caracteriza este tiempo es la obsesión por la identidad. No es extraño que ante la diversidad, muchos se planteen ahora qué es realmente ser evangélico. Samuel Escobar ha pensado mucho sobre ello. Su principal aportación al primer libro de Publicaciones Andamio fue una reflexión sobre qué significa "Ser evangélico hoy". Ya en España, la Federación de Entidades Religiosas Evangélicas de España le pidió que hiciera la ponencia base para el Foro de Reflexión Interdenominacional sobre la identidad evangélica. En este programa le escuchamos en cultos especiales por el Día de la Reforma en la Primera Iglesia Bautista de Valencia en 2013 y en la de Denia (Alicante) en 2016. En la primera medita sobre el Salmo 46 en relación con el himno de Lutero, "Castillo fuerte es nuestro Dios" y en la segunda sobre la autoridad de la Palabra de Dios en la Primera Epístola de Pedro. Su participación en el Foro de Reflexión Interdenominacional de la FEREDE no está grabada, pero José de Segovia lee extensas partes del texto que presentó en Madrid en 2019, Escuchamos el himno de Lutero en la versión de Juan Bautista Cabrera por el Equipo de Música de la Iglesia Bautista Internacional de Santo Domingo en la República Dominicana y el cántico de Samuel Barceló sobre la Reforma, "Sólo por Gracia." La música de cabecera es del acordeonista francés Richard Galliano (Tango Pour Claude) y las versiones instrumentales del himno son una actual de The Worship Initiative, el piano y violin de Classical Praise, así como otra contemporánea de Brian Doerksen. La música del himno "Abide With Me" es del trompetista y fiscornista de jazz Paolo Fresu con el cuarteto italiano Alborada y "The Left Hand of God" por el Cuarteto del Oeste del contrabajista de jazz Charlie Haden. La versión instrumental que suena al final del himno "Sublime Gracia" (Amazing Grace) es del pianista de jazz Cyrus Chestnut.

Christian Alliance For Orphans (CAFO) and The Worship Initiative (TWI) have partnered to write and produce three new worship songs reflecting God's heart for the orphaned and vulnerable. The new songs will debut at the CAFO2024 Summit in Nashville, TN on September 20, 2024. Friday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, our guest, Robbie Seay, Executive VP of Leader Development and Content at the Worship Initiative tells us, "For any believer, understanding God as Father can be such a beautiful thing, but also a hard concept for those who don't have an earthly father. For us to look to the Word of God, sing that, and proclaim that, is a powerful thing." CAFO2024 Summit - Resourcing for Worship LeadersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, hosts Oren Martin and Caitlin Van Wagoner are joined by two of Watermark's worship leaders, Jon Abel and Davy Flowers, to discuss the importance of corporate worship, what it is, why we do it, and answering some of the most commonly asked questions.  Part I: 00:00-02:27 Introduction  Part II: 02:28-04:00 What is worship in the context of the church and where do we see it in scripture?  Ed. D.A. Carson, Worship by the Book Bob Kauflin, Worship Matters: Leading Others to Encounter the Greatness of God Mike Cosper, Rhythms of Grace: How the Church's Worship Tells the Story of the Gospel Scripture Mentioned:  Exodus 15, Revelation 15  Part III: 04:00-06:02 Has congregational singing always been present in the church? David Peterson, Engaging with God: A Biblical Theology of Worship Scripture Mentioned: Ephesians 5, Colossians 3, Revelation 19  Part IV: 06:02-07:36 What makes corporate worship in the local church different from singing Christian music in your home or car?  Matt Merker, Corporate Worship: How the Church Gathers as God's People  Part V: 07:36-11:32 What are some misconceptions about corporate worship?   “Our hearts are like idol factories, seeking things to worship” - John Calvin. “True Christian worship addresses God not just merely as creator and preserver, or as the great Lord of the universe, but as one who is very near kin to us, our Father, beloved of our souls. It is the worship of a child towards a Father, feeling within himself a kinship with the Divine. It is a worship wrought in us by God the Holy Ghost because the Father has sought us out and taught us how to worship Him. It is a worship which is not outward but of the inner man, and occupies not hand, eye, and foot, but heart and soul and spirit. And it is a worship which is not professional and formal, but real, hearty, earnest, and so acceptable before God ” – Charles Spurgeon.  Scripture Mentioned: Romans 12:1, Ecclesiastes 3:11, Mark 12:30, Romans 1:21-23.    Part VI: 11:32-13:05 When we sing in church, why and to whom are we singing?  Part VII: 13:05-20:02 How do you think about the role of a worship leader?   Scripture Mentioned: 1 Peter 4:10.  Part VIII: 20:02-25:10 How do you choose the songs we sing on a Sunday? Why would you choose to not sing a song?    Part IX: 25:10-26:58 Why has Watermark started to produce its own music?  Scripture Mentioned: 1 Peter 4:10  Part X: 26:58-30:40 How have your own perspectives on leading worship changed over the years?     Part XI: 30:40-36:39 Quick Hits Watermark Music, “As Loud as He Is Worthy (Psalm 47).” The Worship Initiative, “All Sufficient Merit.” Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, 4 Volume Set. Scripture Mentioned: Psalm 47

As children of God, we have been given a new home and a new hope. This week we're going to take time every day to look at what it means to live for heaven. May your heart be set aflame by the joy and purpose of living out God's command to live for heaven.   Our Scripture for today comes from Hebrews 12:1-2, and today's worship is Jesus We Love You by The Worship Initiative feat. Trenton Bell. -- Thanks for listening to today's First15 Podcast. My name is Ryn, and I'm a part of the First15 Team. If you haven't downloaded our brand new First15 app, make sure to click the link in today's show notes to check it out! One of the new features that you can enjoy when you download the app is our Guided Prayers. We are adding new prayers to our library every month, so if you need a moment of peace with God, let these prayers be your guide!    In today's First15 Podcast we wanted to give you a preview of a new Guided Prayer that I wrote titled, “Brokenness Restored.” There are several places in scripture where God gives His prophets vision to see all that He has in store for his people, and they declare that ancient ruins of His holy city would be rebuilt and the ancient ruins would be restored. It wasn't until I read Isaiah 61 that I was able to see that these declarations weren't merely about a future construction project, but about the restoration of the hearts of the children of God. Isaiah 61:7 says, “Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy.” It's easy to look at all that we may have lost in our lives and feel sorry for ourselves, but that isn't the inheritance that God has for us. He understands our pain for all that we've lost, and yet He is the God who stands in the midst of what looks like a desolate wasteland and not only sees its potential, but declares that it will come to pass. I pray this prayer give you the eyes to see what God sees, and the willingness to ask Him for the faith to see it come to pass for His glory and your good.

In today’s devotional we’re going to look at the role of encouragement in putting our love into action. In a world that constantly seems to beat us down, we’re in need of some real encouragement. God has an encouraging word to speak to everyone around you. And if we’ll make space to listen, he longs to share that word with us that we might see his kingdom advancing in the heart of another.  May God encourage us today, and empower us to encourage another as we make space for his loving presence. Our Scripture for today comes from Hebrews 10:23-25, and today's worship is Catch Me Singing by The Worship Initiative feat. John Marc Kohl. Check out our Worship for the Weekday playlist on Spotify! ________ First15 Worship is here! As believers, we want a real connection with God every day, not just on Sunday. We want the peace and passion that comes from living with God, not for God. But when Monday morning rolls around we’re left thinking:  “Now what?” “How do I find and keep a daily connection with my Creator on my own?”  At First15, we know that meaningful worship isn’t just for Sunday. Every believer should be able to find a daily connection to God with fresh worship created specifically for their weekday.  _____ First15 is a daily devotional written and recorded by Craig Denison.
