Indie Showcase - Hymn Sessions: Be My Glory Ever by Craig Rigney Wednesday, April 19, 2017 This week, we are excited to feature Hymn Sessions: Be My Glory Ever by Austin-based pastor, artist, and worship leader Craig Rigney as our Indie Showcase. In this new project, Craig recreates classic hymns such as "Grace Greater Than Our Sin," "My Jesus I Love Thee," and "Victory In Jesus," and presents them in a new creative way while keeping them true to the heart, message, and sound of the originals. He shares, "I have always had a deep appreciation for the writers and the way that they were so skilled to communicate deep truths and theology through song in beautiful and creative ways, and how these hymns often came from deep personal experiences and raw prayers from past believers. Over and over these songs communicate the gospel and our need for Jesus, and I love that and want to do the same. To me, these songs are timeless." If you are looking for some fresh new hymn arrangements to share with your congregations, we encourage you to check out Hymn Sessions: Be My Glory Ever, now available on iTunes. "I hope these songs are both familiar and fresh to the listeners," Craig concludes, "and will stir believers of today to the same response to Jesus as it did in past generations."

MultiTracks Available from "God That Saves" (Radio Version) by Iron Bell Music Wednesday, April 12, 2017 Iron Bell Music is passionate about cultivating a heart of adoration in believers through creating worship music that leads people into the knowledge of God. What started out in 2009 as a small worship gathering in a home has since grown to encompass hundreds of worshippers meeting together on a regular basis. Their music focuses on declaring the truth of who God is as in "God That Saves" which they recently released for radio. "God That Saves" was written by worship leader Stephen McWhirter as the result of an encounter he had in which at the height of years of addiction, he encountered the God of Zephaniah 3:17. It gives a testimony of the way Jesus found him and through His love and grace, rescued him and gave him new life. Not only does the song rejoice in the power of Jesus' saving grace, but it offers encouragement that God desires to reveal Himself as the One who can save people from every type of bondage. We invite to check out Stephen's full story here and pick up your copy of this new radio single today on iTunes.
