Upside Down (2005) - currently sold out
Upside Down is a worship CD produced by FPCB's Modern Worship Ministries, containing music written not only by artists such as David Crowder and Chris Tomlin, but also original songs written by FPCB's own musicians.
God is constantly working in the world around us. If we honestly try to know him and can tune our vision to see him working, it is the most exciting and wonderful relationship there is. Sometimes it can feel like we have him figured out, but it’s often then that he will turn our perspectives upside down. In and of ourselves we can’t understand him. If we get to know Jesus, things begin to make sense. And the journey continues…

1 Corinthians 2:11 – For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man’s spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Sprit of God.
