Do Christians Have Any Right to be Cocky?

June 30th, 2009

Pastor Tim’s Latest Vlog Watch below as Pastor Tim discusses how to respond correctly to those outside of the Christian community who have alternative beliefs.  As Christians, we often treat others in the opposite way that the Bible calls us to.  By loving and blessing His enemies, who ultimately nailed Him to a cross, Jesus gives [...]

Rain City Hymnal Available

June 11th, 2009

I’m excited to announce the official launch of ReSound.org. First of all, thank you to everyone who spread the word and downloaded our introductory sampler last week. Special thanks to all those we met at the Advance 09 conference in Durham, North Carolina. It was a privilege to be there and lead you in song.

Today we release our first full-length album, the Rain City Hymnal. It’s a collection of modern arrangements of 12 hymns by 5 different Mars Hill bands and represents our most ambitious project to date. These old songs represent the essence of our task in corporate worship: combining an ancient message of truth in music for a particular people, time, and place.

At the Resurgence we love to offer resources to encourage and build up the church. So for a very limited time, we are offering the Rain City Hymnal exclusively through Noise Trade. Through our friends at Noise Trade you can choose to either pay what you want for the album or download it for free in exchange for helping spread the word about our music. You can also embed the widget in your blog or website and help spread the word even further.

Visit Re:Sound, check out the Rain City Hymnal, tell your friends, and help spread the word. Let us know what you think on Twitter at @ReSoundMusic. As always, stay tuned to the Resurgence for more information on the Rain City Hymnal and many more projects in the months to come.
