“Dispatches shows the Church forming organically and supernaturally like a modern-day book of Acts–and the form of the video mirrors this. It is travelogue-ish: a meditative, reflective journey. It goes beyond the pragmatic and pedestrian use of video to create something more like a parable which invites the viewer in and creates space for God the Holy Spirit to work.”
Jeff Arthurs, professor of preaching, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

“Mercy, mere mercy, is that which we must flee to for refuge, and rely upon as our only plea. He does not say, Remember our merit, but, Lord, remember thy own mercy.” –Matthew Henry, commenting on Habakkuk 3:2

May the Mind

Words: Kate Wilkinson, alt. Brittany French. Music: A. Cyril Barham-Gould, alt. Brittany French, Tamara Johnston, Chris Hiatt

May the mind of Christ, my Savior, live in me from day to day

By His love and power controlling, all I do and say

May the Word of God dwell richly, in my heart from hour to hour

So that all may see I triumph, only through His power

Refrain

Nothing in life is more precious to me

Than to finish the course that I have received

I’ll testify to the gospel of grace

I’ll live my life to run God’s race

May I run the race before me, Strong and brave to face the foe,

Looking only unto Jesus as I onward go.
May the love of Jesus fill me, as the waters fill the sea
Him exalting, self abasing, this is victory

Refrain
