...I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty, the whole earth is full of his glory.” Isaiah 6:1-3 In Isaiah 6:3, the Seraphim (angels) exclaimed, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty!” They ar

Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth...  Philippians 2:9-10 Do you want a life-changing experience?

There’s a lot of criticism around Contemporary Christian Music, and I’ve been curious to understand why. It turns out there’s a real clash within the church. Therefore, many churches, including ours, have taken the path of "Blended Worship". We sing hymns, worship songs, and modern con

The music of the church is about worship! It is not about hymns versus contemporary or bands versus choirs.  It isn't what songs we like or dislike. It is ONLY about Jesus! If you are struggling with this, you have missed the point of why we sing in church. We sing to Him, not just about Him. Who is Jesus? The scene in Heaven described in Revelation should be etched in our hearts. Jesus, the Son of God, embodies the duality of a Lion and a Lamb. He is not merely a lamb...

For many people, the Christmas season is a time of joy and celebration. But for many others, this season is bittersweet due to a loss of a loved one, loneliness, financial difficulties, family being far away, or life being overwhelming. Because the Christian faith offers light, healing, and hope, First Presbyterian Church of Montrose is hosting a “Service of the Longest Night” on the longest night of the calendar year, which is the winter solstice. This service is open to all
