The Major’s Top 10 Hits – Week 73

Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday July 08TH 2018:

  1. “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship [# 1 last week / 10TH week on chart]
  2. “Grace Got You” – MercyMe [2 / 14TH]
  3. “Dream Small” – Josh Wilson [3 / 6TH]
  4. “All In” – Matthew West [4 / 10TH]
  5. “The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett [5 / 10TH]
  6. “Resurrection Power” – Chris Tomlin [6 / 22ND]
  7. “Good News” – Mandisa [9 / 3RD]
  8. “Counting Every Blessing” – Rend Collective [10 / 4TH]
  9. “Living Hope” – Phil Wickham [- / 1ST]
  10. “Wherever I Go” – Dan Bremnes [- / 1ST]

It’s the 73RD week of the 3RD-life of this personal weekly hit music chart, and we have two debut artists entering as the 75TH and 76TH hits since the 1ST week.

Phil Wickham’s “Living Hope” enters at # 9. It’s been growing on me for a few weeks now. With sufficient radio airplay on K-LOVE it has the potential of being a long-running smash.

Phil’s biggest hit was the # 1 smash “This Is Amazing Grace” which graced the radio airwaves from the Summer of 2013 straight-through much of 2014. It’s a song that my church family sings out loud and proud on many Sunday mornings during Praise & Worship. Here’s the official music video for that classic:

 

This concludes my 2 blogs this weekend. It’s back to 4 blogs next weekend on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest. Your likes, follows, and comments are always appreciated. Thank You for being part of my online ministry to win souls for Christ. Enjoy this week.

Greetings Church Family. I have returned home from vacation at beautiful Niagara Falls Ontario Canada. It was a first-time visit for me, and it was only my second-time ever to Canada. (I visited Windsor for a few hours about 13 years ago.)

The Falls were spectacular to see, hear, feel, and experience up-close. The rides and walks through the endless mist were refreshing in the Canadian heatwave (mid-to-upper 90s Fahrenheit / mid-30s Celsius).

“O Sovereign LORD !  You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you !  (Jeremiah 32:17 NLT)

Me, my brother, and his wife stayed within walking distance of Clifton Hill – the shopping and entertainment tourist district of Niagara Falls. It was a lot of fun for a couple of days, but it’s always great to return back home again – where I belong.

Tomorrow night at a local church revival I’m preaching a sermon titled “Accepted & Anointed”. That’s what we all are on this fantastic journey towards God’s bright light. If we believe that fully – then we can change the world with our works – using our strong hands and our powerful arms.

Back during my pre-salvation secular years I’d compile and publish an end-of-summer chart featuring the top songs of the summer based on weekly chart performance during the 15 Sundays starting with Memorial Day Weekend and ending with Labor Day Weekend here in the U.S. I’m bringing it back. Coming up on a special Tuesday September 04TH 2018 blog I’ll present my Top 10 songs of the Summer of 2018.

There were no new entries on my chart this week, but next week look for Phil Wickham to make his debut appearance with his new track “Living Hope”. I’ve heard it on K-LOVE a few times, and I really like the feel of it.

This concludes my 4 blogs this weekend. I’ll be back next Sunday and Monday to blog twice next weekend. Enjoy your long 4TH Of July holiday here in the U.S. Have fun. Be safe. Make memories that will last a lifetime. Go with God.

Sunday Scripture

It was a Good Good Sunday today at Living Waters Full Gospel Church of Homestead Florida.

Ephesians 2:1-10 served as the backdrop for both my full sermon as well as Communion today. We are made alive in Christ, and as the Bible says:

Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. You used to live in sin – just like the rest of the world – obeying the devil – the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way – following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger – just like everyone else.

But God is so rich in mercy, and He loved us so much – that even though we were dead because of our sins – He gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved !) For He raised us from the dead along with Christ, and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of His grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all He has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus.

God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this. It is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.
