“The Day of Atonement was a solemn day to sacrifice 15 animals and reflect on personal sin. This day was a foreshadowing of the coming of Jesus, and His final sacrifice for our sin on Good Friday and His triumphant resurrection on Easter.”

Daybreak played at Church on Sunday night. The young band consists of drums, guitar, bass + vox. They were good. They seemed a bit uncomfortable playing at church, but I think that had more to do with congregational song selection than it did talent. Their lead singer looked a little bit uncomfortable up front, but again that may have simply been the context in which they were playing.
They list the following musical influences: U2, dcTalk, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Delirious?, Radiohead, Switchfoot, Powderfinger, Jeff Buckley, Midnight Oil, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree and Crowded House. Listen to some of their originals on their MySpace page, including tracks from their new ep: Reaching for the Surface – good stuff. I don’t know of many evangelical bands playing good tunes in and around Sydney. Could Daybreak be the next Revive??
If you’re looking for a band for a youth event, Daybreak might be your answer! Got any other recommendations?

Here is my 2008 Bible reading plan (pdf). Feel free to print it out, trim it down, stick it in the front of your Bible and cross each chapter off that you’ve read. It will be particularly helpful for other Moore Bible Skool 1st year students.
It’s all about Jesus.
The 268 Generation crew are doing a world tour this year with their Passion Conferences. Sydney date: Tuesday October 21 @ the Sydney Entertainment Centre. Regular speakers include Louie Giglio and John Piper. Regular musicians includes: David Crowder Band, Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin and Charlie Hall. I’m not sure who will be coming on tour – but should be a great night!
It’s a movement aimed at university speakers. It will be interesting to see how Sydney Anglicans and Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students respond to the event. If John Piper were to speak – they probably wouldn’t have a problem supporting the event, but the last time that Giglio and Tomlin were in the country was for Hillsong Conference 07.
Bring it.

Good news. The operation went well. Praise be to God! Thanks for praying.
Friday Foto this week, is one of my favourite photos of Row. Warm fuzzy to the first person to correctly name the Australian State where it was taken. Bonus warm fuzzy for the month. [Click to see the full pic.]
