Charis Bible College to presents a Spring Musical, David: The King of Jerusalem

David: The King of Jerusalem first premiered at Charis Bible College in 2018. Reappearing this year as the college’s spring production, David: The King of Jerusalem offers three showings: April 8 at 7 p.m. and two matinees on April 9 at 1 p.m. and April 10 at 3 p.m.

The musical, written and co-directed by Elizabeth and Robert Muren, portrays how on the eve of a royal banquet in Jerusalem, an elderly King David prepares to choose a successor from among his sons. A sinister conspiracy comes to light that threatens his kingdom and forces the king to flee his city, relying on God as he had in his younger days.
This musical production features a cast of over eighty members of actors, singers, and dancers from Charis Bible College. The songs are written by Elizabeth and Robert Muren, and the musical score is produced by Swedish Charis producer, Jakob Olofsson.

Elizabeth and Robert Muren have cowritten and produced several musicals previously performed in the 3,150-seat auditorium at Charis Bible College, including God with Us, Esther: The Queen of Persia, The Heart of Christmas, and In God We Trust, a musical celebrating Independence Day.

This year’s spring musical, David: The King of Jerusalem, takes the audience on a journey through David’s life from being a young shepherd boy in Bethlehem to being the King of Israel. Powerful musical numbers, large dance scenes, and dramatic film backgrounds create a spectacular experience for young and old alike.

In addition to the musical production, guests and the community are welcomed to visit Charis for the annual Spring Market, featuring local handmade and hand-crafted goods. The Spring Market is free and open to all before, during, and after each showing of the musical.

Go to TheKingOfJerusalem.com for event and ticketing information.

Charis Bible College is a Bible training college founded by Andrew Wommack to equip graduates through teaching and practical, hands-on training to serve in both the secular and Christian workforce. It is headquartered in Woodland Park, Colorado, and currently has fifty campuses around the world. Go to CharisBibleCollege.org to learn more.

Katy Nichole Debut “In Jesus Name (God Of Possible)” Hits No. 1 On Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs Chart

Singer/songwriter, and newest Centricity Music artist, Katy Nichole, hits No. 1 this week with “In Jesus Name (God of Possible)” on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart. Her viral debut single has also topped the iTunes Christian & Gospel Songs chart for eight consecutive weeks so far, never leaving No. 1 since it released Jan. 26.

Releasing her first concept music video and a piano version of the song inspired by the early chorus that went viral on TikTok, Nichole also recorded “In Jesus Name (God of Possible)” live for Essential Worship while additional resources for the song are available at PraiseCharts, MultiTracks and Worship Together.

As the song continues to resonate with people of all backgrounds across the world, Nichole is also receiving numerous invitations to sing the song live. Going from zero to 50 concerts on her schedule so far, upcoming events include “Good Friday Nashville” with Chris Tomlin at Bridgestone Arena April 15 plus a K-LOVE-sponsored Live at Red Rocks appearance and a major fall tour (both to be announced soon). She also recently sang “God Bless America” at the NASCAR WISE Power 400 live held at Auto Club Speedway, joined Big Daddy Weave for four concerts and sang “In Jesus Name (God of Possible)” last week during Jason Gray’s SiriusXM The Message Acoustic Story Time event.

With a remarkable 62 Christian reporting radio station adds in 10 days following its release, a feat never been done by a debut single, “In Jesus Name (God of Possible)” also world-premiered on Christian music’s largest radio network, K-LOVE. The video of Nichole hearing her song on radio for the first time has received more than 4.5M views on TikTok and another 2.6M views on K-LOVE’s Facebook page.

Reaching well over 150 million people with the chorus of “In Jesus Name (God of Possible),” 21-year-old Nichole created the song from words in her prayer journal that were written in the midst of a global health crisis and in response to her own story of suffering, hope and healing. She suffered for years with scoliosis before a new doctor took out the metal rods that had been placed in her back, which miraculously went straight, no longer giving her pain.

People worldwide are hearing Nichole’s song and telling their own heart-warming, and many times heart-breaking, stories. Each story branches out into a series of new shares that continues branching virally. More than 7,200 examples of this can be seen now on TikTok.

While her first single is a worshipful anthem ready-made for roomfuls of people to sing, it only reveals one facet of this multidimensional artist who is working on her debut album now, again drawing from her journal and well of life experiences.

About Katy Nichole:
Long before TikTok was even a social platform, Katy Nichole was singing in her church choir. By 14, she was writing songs and leading worship. Her relationship with both music and God is inextricably intertwined with her path to health and wholeness. Having served as both an ambassador for the Shriners Hospitals for Children^® and as a volunteer for Musicians On Call, Nichole, at the invitation of Josh Havens, lead singer for The Afters, began leading worship at The Grove in Phoenix, AZ, where Havens serves as a Worship & Arts Pastor. Havens saw something in Nichole she couldn’t even see in herself at the time. She began writing, recording and posting her music online, which eventually led to her making a move to Nashville and landing a label home with Centricity Music.

Sam Collier, Lead Pastor of Hillsong Church Atlanta, Has Announced He Is Stepping Down From His Position in the Wake of the Slew of Scandals Surrounding the Church and Its Founder, Brian Houston

Sam Collier, the first-ever African American lead pastor of a Hillsong church, has announced he is stepping down from his position as a slew of scandals continue to surround the church and its founder, Brian Houston.

Collier, who with his wife, Toni, led the Atlanta, Georgia-based branch of Hillsong, announced his departure from the church on Wednesday afternoon.

“It is with great sadness that I inform you of my departure from Hillsong.

I have appreciated the Hillsong family and want to thank the Houstons for the love they have shown Toni and me.

My greatest reason for stepping down as Pastor of Hillsong Atlanta is probably not a secret to any of you. With all of the documentaries, scandals, articles, accusations and the church’s subsequent management of these attacks it’s become too difficult to lead and grow a young Church in this environment.

I have no shame in admitting I cried like a baby moments after I informed the Hillsong global pastor of my departure.

I truly love the Hillsong family and believe they will get through this storm and come out better than they were before.

Join me this Sunday at Center Stage for our final service as Hillsong Atlanta and for more info about a new Church I’m planting/launching on Easter Sunday 2022: “STORY CHURCH”

” – Collier, who is also an author, adviser to the King family, and founder of A Greater Story Ministries, wrote on social media.

Heartchange.org’s Mission to Help those in Need through God

Heartchange.org’s Mission to Help those in Need through God

One’s relationship with God can manifest in various ways. While many people simply choose to walk with God on their own journey of life, others burn with passion for God’s work and commit their lives to serving people in His name. Alger and Gloria Marsh are two such people. Their faith and conviction have led them to give back to their community by starting House of Myrrh Ministries (heartchange.org), a Christian organization dedicated to helping others experience Christ and reach spiritual and emotional growth.

In Christian thought, helping others is one of the highest forms of love as it is a proof of unselfishness and generosity towards humans. Jesus spoke of loving one’s neighbor and helping the weak and thus giving back to the community not only reflects the nature of God, but it is also an essential part of faith. The modern world has become too complex for any of us to understand and many people often lose their way and faith and find themselves in a need of an assistance. Spiritual and religious help from Christian support groups and ministries is now more important than ever as they seek to serve the needs of a human soul by bringing together people and the church. Their faith-based initiatives dedicated to spiritual development provide people with a sense of purpose and help them find their footing in these unpredictable times.

Based in Oregon City, House of Myrrh Ministries has helped and brought joy to many people seeking a God focused change by conducting various interactive workshops on a donation basis. Founded and led by Alger and Gloria Marsh, the organization brings together people of God and offers them the experience of spiritual healing and transformation through God’s love and truth. Their love for God inspires them every day to serve the people around them and their mission is to work with Jesus and share this life-changing experience with all communities.

The Scripture inspired workshops are conveniently structured to help people find exactly what they seek. For example, the HeartChange workshop is an opportunity to experience God and the abundance He brings by healing one’s wounds and growing spiritually. On the other hand, married couples might best benefit by participating in the HeartsTogether workshop to honor God in their relationship and to move to greater unity and intimacy with one another. People struggling with finding their purpose and meaning of life can join the HeartDesing workshop, where they can discover God’s unique design and develop a personal mission. Even children are included in the House of Myrrh Ministries’ program and are welcome to join in the Kids HeartChange workshop designed specifically for youth.

Additionally, the Christian organization also conducts home bible and ministry groups aimed at encouraging growth through communication and human interaction within the community. For people who would like to fulfill their desires to walk with God while also working for Him, House of Myrrh Ministries offers training as an opportunity to become workshop volunteers or leaders as well.

These and many other workshops and prayer events of the Christian organization have received great praise from their supporters and followers and thus their community grew in numbers and strength. The workshops are now being offered and conducted outside of Oregon as well and people who are interested in spiritual development with God can find the available time and place on the organization’s official website at www.heartchange.org. Anybody is invited to join their loving and truth-filled workshops and encounter God in their own way.

Although the workshops are offered free of charge, the organization relies on support and donations from the community to help them make their workshops available and continue the God’s work. People who are not able to give financially are always welcome to contribute in other ways.

About House of Myrrh Ministries

House of Myrrh Ministries is a Christian organization committed to serving people by offering specific activities designed to provide spiritual and emotional growth. Their passion is to help others experience Christ and His powerful transformation and freedom personally through God’s love and truth, and corporately through the interaction of His community.

An American Pastor in Kiev Ukraine delivering Combat Trauma Medical supplies & Humanitarian Goods

An American Pastor, Reverend Dr. William Devlin of New York City, is presently in Kiev Ukraine delivering Combat Trauma Medical supplies & Humanitarian Goods to the army.

Dr. William Devlin, a pastor from New York City and the volunteer CEO of WidowsAndOrphans.info, is currently in Kiev Ukraine assisting one of the Kiev/Kyiv Territorial Defense Forces on the southern end of Kiev. Devlin traveled to Ukraine on March 12, 2022 from New York City with a team in order to begin the process of bringing front-line Combat Trauma Medical supplies to Lviv and Kiev in order to support the Ukrainian Army regulars and also the Territorial Defense Forces who are Ukraine’s second line of defense here.

Speaking for WidowsAndOrphans.info is their volunteer CEO, Pastor Dr. William Devlin: “I am here to bring aid, comfort, encouragement, hope and practical goods to the Ukrainian fighters who are bravely defending their homeland from the current Russian invasion. As our team has met with senior members and medical directors of the Territorial Defense Forces, they state that their greatest needs are combat trauma medical supplies. These supplies are CAT-7 tourniquets, wound-packing gauze (QuikClot), pressure dressings and bandages, chest seal for sucking chest wounds and Molle pouches to carry the items. Not only are we bringing in these practical items but we are also bringing hope, encouragement and God’s love to these courageous volunteers of the Territorial Defense Forces. These brave men have sent their wives and children to a safe location either here in Ukraine or a neighboring country, yet they have stayed to defend their beloved nation. When the war started, I made every effort to rearrange my life so I could come to Kiev to serve the people of Ukraine.

I hope that, by my example as a Christian pastor, others will follow my lead and come to help and bless the Ukrainian people. We are asking Americans, if they cannot join us, to invest in these combat trauma medical supplies by going to www.WidowsAndOrphans.info and give generously to the Ukrainian fighters. All gifts are tax-deductible; WIdowsAndOrphans.info is a non-profit, 501(c)3.

Thank you as we are here at the risk of our own lives, willing to give our lives for the freedom of the Ukrainian people.”

AD Christie Releases another Gospel Single ‘The Great Dilemma’

Following in the footsteps of his previously powerful singles, AD Christie has released his latest track, ‘The Great Dilemma,’ a cinematic and mighty Gospel creation. The Caribbean multi-instrumentalist, producer and artist is on a mission to shine a light on the teachings of the Bible in an innovative and creative way through the art of music. ‘The Great Dilemma’ was released on the 16th of March 2022.

“The lyrics for this song come directly from Proverbs 17:15 and Genesis 18:25 in the Bible. This song vaguely alludes to the contrast between justice and mercy.

God is just and so the question is how can a just God forgive sin? Doesn’t mercy contradict justice? Doesn’t justice demand payment? The answer to these questions is provided in the next song of the series.” explains AD Christie. ‘The Great Dilemma’ is just one piece of the puzzle, the third track in a series of 7 releases of his project ‘The Gospel Context Series,’ which focuses on different elements of the Gospel message.

The overall sonic landscape of ‘The Great Dilemma’ is uplifting and invigorating. Listeners are welcomed by the serenity of a melodic acoustic guitar and gentle piano, while a textured synth brings a contemporary element. A male voice rings through, bright and clear, the distinctive tones of his vocals offer a stunning presence to the instrumentation.

The chorus introduces rhythmic hi-hats, while the standout feature is the strings, anemotive and stirring experience. Epic drum fills add drama to the composition, a cinematic and tremendous addition to the exhilarating soundscape. The euphonious vocal melody is a reassuring guide throughout the track, with layers of harmony providing further dynamism. Building to a crescendoing finale, ’The Great Dilemma’ comes to a dramatic close, letting the vocals shine through for a poignant and melodic ending.

Inspired by the sounds of the cinema, such as composers James Newton Howard and artists Michael W Smith and Ron Kenoly, AD Christie creates sonic visuals with storytelling at the core. Motivated by music and the Gospel, AD Christie has been playing music since 1996, but it wasn’t until 2017 that he felt the calling to compose music that brings awareness to the teachings of the Bible and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
