Welcome to the latest instalment of our most recent blog series Top Tens, which is posting roughly every Sunday/Monday, Australian time. Last time, we delved into my 10 new TV series that have/will debut in 2015 that I can’t wait to watch and hopefully follow. This time, we will explore 10 films releasing in 2015 that pique my interest and hopefully will resonate with many of you as well. While I won’t write synopses on every single movie, I will provide links to the Wikipedia page (or imdb page if Wiki is not available) and show the trailers as well (if they have released).

Worship Wednesdays (Matthew West- Hello My Name Is)
Worship songs don’t necessarily have to be songs sung on a Sunday morning. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the songs by Chris Tomlin, Phil Wickham, Bethel, Hillsong or any other artist that normally has church songs in circulation in every corner of the globe. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the songs everyone classifies as worship, even if you yourself identify more with pop/rock (or just rock) compared with the vertical praise melodies you often hear on millions of praise CD’s produced each year. Why? Because worship is a lifestyle, rather than a genre of music that producers, marketers and executives of the CCM industry make it out to be. Worship is laying down every part of ourselves as a living sacrifice before the Lord rather than a style of singing, or how we lift our hands to God every Sunday. Worship is how we live our lives as an act of serving to others rather than the correct words we use during song verses and choruses.

Throwback Tuesdays (Matthew West- History)
Considering that yesterday’s Message Mondays post was about Matthew West’s “Day One” and it is 2015 (ten years since Matthew West released his album History), I thought it would be fair and appropriate to discuss “History”, the title track off the 2005 album. If you haven’t heard of Matthew or his music, you’re in for a real treat. With songs like “You are Everything”, “Save a Place For Me”, “The Motions”, “Strong Enough”, “Hello My Name Is” and “More”, this singer/songwriter is perhaps one of the most underrated and overlooked, and in my opinion, in the same category lyric-wise as artists like Nichole Nordeman, Bebo Norman or Jason Gray.

Joshua Andre’s Best Of 2014 (Part 2: EP’s, Songs And Anticipated Albums Of 2015)
Welcome to Part 2 of my Best of 2014 list. In Part 1 we looked at top albums, and now, we will take a look at top songs, anticipated albums of favourite EP’s of 2014. Though it’s true that, like my brother Jonathan, I have not listened to all the EP’s and to all the songs available to me throughout the year, I hope and pray that this somewhat impartial list will at least encourage someone to check out some new music they haven’t listened to before. Without further ado, here’s my list of EP’s, songs and anticipated album releases.
