New Single from Jonathan Stockstill & Bethany Worship Friday, March 17, 2017 "Communion Song" is the newest release from Jonathan Stockstill and Bethany Worship. Jonathan was inspired to write the song last year while he was preparing a message on the sacrament of Communion. He shares, "One of the most impactful things Christ instructed us in during the Last Supper was to 'do this in remembrance of Me.' There is so much symbolism and power in the way that we view Christ; He gave His own life and paid the ultimate price to give us everlasting life." The song opens up from Jesus' point of view during the Last Supper and goes on to switch viewpoints in the bridge to give voice to worshippers in exalting the Savior and proclaiming His worthiness. Jonathan is joined by worship leaders Nicole Binion and BJ Putnam in this incredible new anthem which features a male/female co-lead and would make a great addition to your Easter setlist. "Communion Song" is now available on iTunes, and we are including a free download of the song with the purchase of the MultiTracks.

MultiTracks Now Available from Wasteland by John Redgrave Friday, March 17, 2017 MultiTracks are now available from Wasteland, the new EP from worship leader and songwriter John Redgrave. It features 6 new anthems that are both fresh and congregational, including John's dynamic take on the classic "Doxology," a cover of Lauren Daigle's "How Can It Be," and his 2015 worship single, "Wind and Waves." The album's title track, "Wasteland," reminds us that even in the trials of life, we are covered under the blood of Jesus Christ. "We often lose ourself and our identity in moments of darkness," John explains. "It is my hope that Wasteland can be a tool that helps us to look towards the One who our identity resides in. Even in the darkest points of life God is walking with us. Even in moments of trial He always goes before us. It is often too easy to shift our perspective towards our sorrow rather than to lift our eyes to a place of promise. I pray Wasteland provides others with hope in His promise. " Pick up a copy of Wasteland today, now available on iTunes.
New From Elevation Worship - There Is A Cloud Thursday, March 16, 2017 Today marks the worldwide release of Elevation Worship's There Is A Cloud, a new live worship album that echoes the team's passion to see a new season of spiritual awakening rise in our hearts, our churches and in our world. Songwriter and worship leader Chris Brown shares, "Our prayer is that the songs of this album will fuel your faith and renew your hope even if you are in the midst of a dry and barren season." There Is A Cloud drew its title from an encounter with the Prophet Elijah and one of his servants during a severe season of drought and famine and it asks the listener to rediscover what it means to worship not solely on the mountaintop, but also in the valley – finding faith, joy, and gratitude in the midst of trial and difficulty. We previously released the album's first two singles, "There Is A Cloud" and "Do It Again" and are now excited to bring you the MultiTracks for the rest of the album today. "Yours (Glory and Praise)" is one standout, reverently worshipping the Lamb of God and bringing Him passionate exaltation, "And the praise is Yours, and the praise is Yours. You're the One we bow before. Reigning over us as we lift You up. You will reign forevermore!" "Overcome" is another anthem that you'll find perfect for the Easter season as it recounts the moment Jesus overcame death and the grave, rejoicing in His resurrection and eternal reign. We truly believe these new songs will have a great impact on churches all over the world and encourage you to check out the entire album, which you can pick up today on iTunes.
