Episode 97: Salvation Meeting (54) - 06 02 2022 -To Be Like Jesus
"Going to the Army!" - Marc Harry's PodcastShow Notes
When David wrote Psalm 51 he seemed to be asking for a New Testament forgiveness - hundreds of years before it became a 'thing'!
Ashamed and horrified by his sinful behaviour he opened his heart to God and begged to be given another chance. According to Jewish Law, the only way he could achieve this was through making a sacrifice, a burnt offering to God - yet he realised that this was NOT what God wanted at all. David asked to be purged of all evil, washed whiter than snow - as if by Jesus blood! How amazing is that!
This week's meeting has the aim of bringing us all closer to God - for each of us to claim that 'washing' in Christ's blood - to be made more and more like Jesus with every day we live.
Songs include: 'Whiter than the snow', 'To Be Like Jesus' and 'All My Work is for the Master'. Music comes from the International Staff Songsters (Moment by Moment), Portsmouth Citadel Singing Company (Hand me down my Silver Trumpet) and the Boscombe Band with one of the very best of Salvation Army marches - Rosehill (there's even the chance to join in with that great chorus 'In the Army Ranks are We')
Join me for an hour of praise, worship, reflection and re-dedication.
Hallelujah!!

Had things gone to plan: then today – Tuesday 15th April 2025 I would have been preparing myself for one of my favourite events of the year.
To mark the TENTH anniversary of the very first GttA podcast in July 2013 this is the first of a very special 4-part series of podcasts featuring music from each decade of the Army's existence right up to the present day.
'The Salvation Meeting' makes its return this Sunday after my summer break.
For the last meeting prepared before I take my summer break (I'll be back in September!) I found my inspiration after seeing a question asked in a Salvation Army forum online: What is a Salvation Meeting?
