"Angels and Fire" by Calm The Storm: Worship Through Grit and Glory


"Angels and Fire" by Calm The Storm is a gritty yet melodic rock/alternative track born from A.J. Ogg's life-changing journey of faith. Once an atheist battling alcoholism, Ogg found hope in surrendering to God and embracing the fullness of the gospel. 

Calm The Storm - Angels and FireCalm The Storm is a prophetic invitation, a break from our daily noise, to experience the nearness of their Creator and a love that is impossible for us to fully comprehend. 

The lyrics cry out with anticipation: "Oh Jesus, Return to us // Oh Messiah, Take Your throne." It reflects our common longing for His return, that day when He'll "split the sky with vapor of smoke and thunder and lightning." Ogg sings "Every eye will see," reminding us of His undeniable arrival. Revelation 1:7a "Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; …" He paid the price for us, and that is why we may sing, "We've been washed in the blood of the Lamb." 

This song isn't just about passively looking at future glory, but also about actively living our faith here and now, in preparation of that moment when we may stand before Him… "We watch and pray for the return of the Son of Man." With its driving beats and soaring vocals, the song encourages you to open your heart to the reality of Christ's return and act accordingly.

(Related scripture: Revelation 1:7; Acts 1:11; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt - Miracle In The Works (CCM)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...

"Empty Hand" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill: Embracing God’s Presence as the Ultimate Gift

The idea behind Marcus & Jalyn McGill's new song, "Empty Hand," was triggered by a deeply personal season of infertility. One of their writers, Jennifer, had a vision where God was extending His hand to her, not holding the longed-for child, but an empty hand offering something much greater… His presence in the waiting. This vision became the center of this song and is an important message for anyone who is holding onto a wish/longing for a miracle that hasn't come to pass.  In this song we hear the message that comes along with His extended hand. "I've been watching as you've been waiting / As you focus on your lack," reminding us that it's so easy to get trapped in our pain when prayers don't seem to be answered. It's a pain that distracts and causes us to forget that He's "… more than enough." God already has a miracle for you, "I'm holding out My hand to you // Don't think because it's empty // I h...
