Copperhill Church on iTunes

Hey! You probably know that you can look up Copperhill Church on iTunes and find our sermon podcasts but guess what? You can now also look up the official Copperhill Church Walk-In Music iMix on iTunes! We're working on adding other iMixes, but the first one done is a collection of songs from Sunday morning's walk-in playlist. So now if you are cruising into church and hear a song that gets stuck in your head, you can go on iTunes and see who it is and what album it's on, etc. Hope all is well with everyone, see you around!


UPDATE: We also put up a Worship iMix featuring songs that we sing on Sunday mornings. So if you ever want to look up the songs we sing, just do the same search process listed above.

Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Isle of Man

This is a really interesting interview with the Bishop N.T. Wright from the Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert. Please note that this is a satirical news show, so don't count on a purely journalistic interview. Aside from the satire, Wright briefly discusses the central ideas of his new book on heaven, "Surprised by Hope"- very potent things for today's Christian to think about.

James Daniels Update

Hey Everyone,

You've probably been keeping updated on James Daniels' condition through the Friends of James blog but in case you hadn't visited recently, Cathy filmed a short video of James talking and thanking everyone. It's pretty incredible and really encouraging to watch. Check it out by clicking on James' picture on the Copperhill site's main page.

Peace.

Rise of the Rebel Virgins

In this month's issue of Christianity Today, there is an editorial regarding a recent movement amongst secular American college students toward abstinence prior to marriage. This thought-provoking article gives the reasoning behind the movement and explains how Christians should know the true reasons for abstinence. With news report describing the rising promiscuity of America's youth, this article provides an interesting avenue for Christians to missionally approach sexual purity and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Free to Speak Your Mind?

Now playing at Edwards Cinema in Canyon Country:

George Foreman Smokeless Grill (aka - living in light of the Gospel)

Here is a quote that I ran across recently, and I thought it well represented the mindset we should have as Christians.

"Constantly running its course through the many paths of our minds should be how astonishing the grace is that we have through Christ Jesus, and then every other thought should be subject to and infused with and motivated by this self-humbling and Savior-exalting mindset. When we are reviled, we do not revile in return because of the example of our God. He did not return evil for evil when He was the victim of the greatest injustice in human history but rather showed an astounding and incomprehensible love; perfection being slaughtered for the vile, for the scum of life, for the prostitute, for the addict, for the weak, for the sinner, for me, for you. This mindset should be fuel for the Spirit driven fire of compassion we are to have for mankind; both Christians and non-Christians."
