Ministry of 2nd Generation - Concert Recap

It's amazing what can happen when a group allows the Holy Spirit to take over and lead the service. That's exactly what happened when I saw 2nd Generation a few weeks ago.

If you're not familiar with 2nd Generation, they are based in Arkansas and consist of sisters Brenda Denney and Elaine Robinson and Randy Barnes. They were actually at Randy Barnes' home church. It was a special night not only because of the worship, but it was a night for the church to pray over Randy before he left for a two-week mission trip in Mongolia.

Randy not only stepped out to follow God's leading by going on this mission trip, but when God led them to stop the service to pray over a friend who received troubling news right before the concert started that's exactly what they did. I love seeing groups when they live out exactly what they sing.

It was a great night of incredible songs and worship, and I'm thankful of how this group ministered that night.

Here are a few highlights from the night -

• "It's a Good Life Living for the Lord" - Wonderful song to kick off the night featuring Brenda.
• "One More River" - This is one of my favorite songs to hear them sing live.
• "What a Day That Will Be" - Love hearing Brenda and Randy featured on this classic hymn!
• "Sheltered in the Arms of God" - Elaine talked about not fully understanding this song when she started singing it as a teenager. Sometimes in this life we still don't understand the path we are one and what God is doing, but we can rest assured that God is right there with us. No matter what is going on, we are sheltered in His arms and He is in control. Elaine does a beautiful job on this song. 
• My God Can Do Anything" 
• "Somebody Go Get God" 
• "Faces" - Since this was Randy's home church, they asked for requests and this was one of them. Love hearing Randy sing this song!
• "Redemption Draweth Nigh" - Such a powerful, incredible song. The moment of the night for me!
• "Feel the Joy" - This is always a fun one that gets a little audience participation!
• "Rock of Ages" - This is not the hymn you might be used to, but a fun uptempo song from their most recent project The Church.

If you get a chance to see 2nd Generation in your area, don't miss them!
