Last night at Cornerstone's "Tooth & Nail Day" was fun.
Project 86 killed with an amazing set. They were on and the crowd was singing along and feeding the band with more energy, which made for a great atmosphere.
Showbread were crazy and energetic. Kind of a garage rock version of Family Force 5 (though it would be better to say that the other way around), with lots of audience interaction and pacing the stage as if to bridle the energy that was flowing.
Dead Poetic was tight playing bits from their new Vices album and material from New Medicines.
mewithoutYou was "on" as well, with dynamics swinging from Aaron Weiss on the accordian to acoustic guitar to his wildly swinging behind the microphone singing. The crowd was definitely in their hip pocket for every song.
I went to see Hawk Nelson, because my two young girls love the band. It was such a treat to see them enjoying the show.
To start my day off, I want to think about something in the Word...
In Mark 14 we continue on with an account of the "Last Supper." When the disciples asked Him about preparations, Jesus told two of them to go into the city, where "a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. Say to the owner of the house he enters, 'The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there." All this was found just as He said. Another remarkable miracle in the life of Jesus...
Jesus took a cup of wine and gave thanks and offered it to the disciples, saying, "This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many."
This act, which we celebrate as "communion" is a HUGE, huge deal. This covenant washed away or paid for our sins. The blood He shed is represented by that cup. When we celebrate that ritual, we renew or pledge our part in that covenant (the receiving the benefits part of the equation). It's an amazing act to celebrate.
