Song Quest

Hi all.

So it HAS been a long time since our last chat..

We have been busy busy settling into a new role at our church into which we have been pouring lots of creativity and energy  which has been really great, and important..

So what's happening with INSIDEOUT?

We have really been taking this time to seek God for HIS way forward for us and HIS timing with this ministry. Even though at times it seems like our work with our local church can so easily become the focus of our week, we really feel that there is a kind of synergy with our role at church and the wider ministry we are involved in and have seen God really moving and developing the worship life of our community which is so exciting..

We have a few new songs on the boil and have had the chance to lead worship for a few different events and churches. We have also had the chance to connect with other churches and worship pastors in Melbourne and establish some great networks which is a real blessing.

*Some exciting news*- which YOU may be able to be a part of - is that one of our songs has been published on the Praise Charts Website (an online worship resource) through Song Quest. It is up at the moment and people can review and rate the song. If it rates well and receives positive feedback, there is a possibility of Praise Charts publishing and distributing the song through their network.  

If you would like to help us get our songs out there- go to:

www.praisecharts.com/live  

If you scroll down you will see 'New Day' by us. Click on Full Story and you can rate it. In the next coming weeks, 'Who will Stand?' will be featured on there also..

This is really exciting for us, as we would love for people to be singing the songs. 

HAVING SAID THAT ....

We are looking into touring in the latter part of the year- Sept, Oct, Nov.  We will be touring a Worship/Multimedia concert style,  event called 'The Story', similar to our launch last year. So if you would like us to come to/back to your church please drop us a line.

'THE STORY' - is also now available on CD Baby for friends overseas and Itunes..

Just go to our  'Shop' page for links.

Here are a few closing thoughts that have been rolling around-

 'Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me ..I am the vine; You are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing' John 15: 4-5

These verses are so challenging- But so important. They draw us back to a place of intimacy, not only in our worship, but in our own devotional lives with God.  It is so easy to slip into the routine of life that it is easy to keep functioning in our own strength and competency. This passage reminds us that nothing of significance can ever happen without HIM and the empowerment of HIS Spirit. What a challenge to us- To be living out of the overflow of his love and presence in our lives.  

A key passage for the life of a worshipper- Abide in HIM..

Blessings
