Happy Valentines Day – Video Podcast

Hello Everyone -

Today is Valentine’s Day – a day we traditionally celebrate “love”. As my gift to our loyal subscribers, I’d like to “video podcast” a free video of my performance of “Extravagant Love” – a piano composition that I wrote and performed on the “Worship Under The Stars” DVD.

This piece was written as my own expression of God’s “extravagant love” to us. I hope that it blesses you.

I am encouraging people to subscribe to this podcast and watch the video through ITunes. As a result, there is no “play” button on this podcast – you’ll need to retrieve the podcast via ITunes or other Podcast Players. Or, use our feed url (see step #3) and you can retrieve it from there. To do so:

1: If you don’t already have it, download and install Apple’s free ITunes program for Mac or Windows.
2: After launching ITunes, go to the “Advanced” menu, and choose “Subscribe to Podcast”.
3: Enter the following URL:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/highestpraise

You should now be subscribed. By clicking “play” on the podcast, the video will play in the small video box on the left corner of ITunes. By clicking on the video – it will popup a new, larger video window.

Please let me know if you enjoy the piece – and of course, I’d be blessed if you’d purchase the CD or DVD of “Worship Under the Stars”.

For the Kingdom,
Fred

World Wide Worship, Volume 2
Episode #8 of the Highest Praise Worship Podcast

Greetings, everyone! Welcome to the 8th Episode of the Highest Praise Worship Podcast, produced here in the “Highest Praise Productions” studio on Monday, Nov 7 2005.

“This morning, I woke up at 5:00 AM and really felt a burden to worship and to get into God’s Presence … and I want to take YOU with me! …” This podcast is another edition of the “World Wide Worship” series – a “live” worship and ministry session. Once again, the time of worship and ministry is led by Fred McKinnon.

Feel free to listen to this podcast from this website, or subscribe through any of the many subscription methods mentioned. I hope that you’ll save this 25 minute worship session and find some time to get alone with God. If you are blessed by this time of worship, devotion, and ministry, please leave comments here. We’d also be grateful if you’d consider making a tax-deductible offering/donation as well.

Lyrics for “There Is None” by Fred F. McKinnon

Verse:
Who is like our God? Who is like our God?
Righteous and holy. Pure, spoteless Lamb.
Who is like our God? Who is like our God?
Faithful and loving with mercies new every day.

Chorus:
There is none! There is none!
There is none like You
over the heavens and over the earth.
There is none! There is none!
There is none like You
and I will ever sing to You my praise.

Be blessed!

For the Kingdom,
Fred F. McKinnon

Free – John Mandeville [Video Only]

Hey Ya’ll -

This is yet another “test” for us in the podcasting realm. Other than these written notes, the only media being sent is an awesome video clip of worship leader/songwriter John Mandeville performing his song, “Free”. So, this would be our first “test” on “video podcasting” (aka vidcasting, video casting). And speaking of free – for the first person who watches the video and leaves a comment on this podcast blog, you will get a FREE copy of the new worship CD by John Mandeville entitled “We Belong To Heaven”.

You can learn more about John Mandeville and purchase his new worship CD and resources at www.lifestyleofworship.com

You don’t have to get a new video IPod – you should be able to watch the video in ITunes. Or, stream it right here. Just click the screenshot below to play the video:

For the Kingdom,
Fred

PS: wow – the response to last weeks’ “World Wide Worship, Volume 1″ post was amazing. I will definitely be leading more worship “live” via the podcast – stay tuned!

World Wide Worship – Volume 1

Hey Ya’ll -

Today’s podcast is a “new thing”. Rather than send out a podcast featuring new music, new artists, etc., I decided to just “minister”.

I feel like we get so busy that we seldom take the time to stop, listen, pray, and worship. That’s what this podcast is all about. I’ve led a 22 minute worship session for you.

It’s kinda like this – if I ministered at your church and then said “OK, does anyone want for me to go home and be there for you in the morning so I can sit down, play, pray, and lead you into a time of worship …”? If you would say “Sure” … this is for you.

Disclaimer: I am not, nor have I ever been a great vocalist. For years, songs and worship stayed “bottled up” inside of me because of my great insecurity about my “lack” of ability to sing. Over the years, God has stripped away that insecurity to the point where I don’t really care anymore – it’s all about Him, and if you can bear with my singing, I hope you’ll find a place in His Presence.

Also, as I’ve listened to the podcast, I realize that I should have gotten into the “ministry” a lot quicker instead of just “talking”.

IMPORTANT:

This is a trial run … I would like to continue sending “new songs”, “new artists”, etc., through the Highest Praise Worship Podcast, but I also have a strong passion right now about leading others into that place of “worship in spirit and truth”. As a result, I’ve created this episode – a way that I can lead you, the listener, into a time of personal worship.

So, don’t just sit and listen to this … yield to it. If “now” isn’t the time to really worship with this podcast, save it for later – get alone, or join with your friends, spouse, or others … turn down the lights (if you like) … close your eyes, and allow me to minister to you, and allow yourself to minister TO GOD and to receive ministry FROM GOD.

If this blesses you, please let me know by leaving a COMMENT below. If the response is positive, I’ll likely create a totally separate podcast on a new page, new feed, etc., and do this often. It was very fulfilling today in creating this time of ministry. I look forward to your response.

World Wide Worship – Volume 1

“Draw Near” Lyrics:

You have given me the Spirit of the Truth
And now my heart cries out to You, “Abba Father”.
You have given me the Spirit of the Truth
And now my heart cries out to You.

Draw near. I hear Your voice calling me.
Draw near. I hear Your voice calling me.

I will behold You. Rest my head upon Your shoulders.
I will forever sing of Your mercies. (repeat)

For the Kingdom,
Fred F. McKinnon
