Michael Card talked about his study of the Gospel of Luke, and of the background passage to Jesus' washing the disciples feet. Washing of the feet was a visual example of Jesus' response to the disciples' discussion about who was to be the greatest (Luke 22:24). And in John 13:8, when Christ came to Peter, he said the word that should never be used when addressing the LORD, "No".
Wayne Watson's music shows what a wonderful story-teller he is. There are so many of his pieces that were so meaningful, like his classic Watercolor Ponies. Somewhere in the World reminds me to keep waiting and praying. Touch of the Master's Hand encourages me that God can use me and "play beautiful music" through of my life. "Friend of a Wounded Heart" is so touching. And "For Such a Time as This" always reminds me to always be ready to be used of God.
Twila Paris started with "Warrior is a Child". She then shared the story of what her mother-in-law said to her son right before she was to leave this world - that we should not go about doing whatever we want but to seek God's Plan for our lives. And she sang "How Beautiful".
Steve Green, with his powerful voice, sang gloriously with the full orchestra and choir. He sang "Find us Faithful" and told the story that as children, we tried to earn "stars" for things we did; and somewhere along the way thought that translated to how we live for God. But, no, it is by faith in HIM alone that we have salvation.
Throughout the evening, the music just gave me goose bumps, once again hearing such great Christian music in person; with such powerful Scripture-based messages.
