Sovereign Grace Music: Christmas

Prepare Him Room: Four nights and locations. Each night will feature songs from two Sovereign Grace Music Christmas albums, Prepare Him Room and Heaven Has Come. Whether you find Christmastime to be a joy-filled season, or at time of grief, loss, and burdens, we think Prepare Him Room will remind you of the wonder, mystery, and hope that Christmas is meant to bring.

Ticketing and details for remaining locations: Franklin, TN, Knoxville, TN & Louisville, KY


In the past 35 years, Sovereign Grace Music has produced Christ-exalting songs and training for local churches from local churches including albums for worship, songs for kids, Spanish albums, a Portuguese album and three Christmas albums. This Christmas season, enjoy celebrating the unimaginably good news of the birth of Jesus and the mystery of God become man in song:

Prepare Him Room

The reality of the incarnation, the Son of God taking on our flesh and bones to save us, will be an eternal source of wonder, gratefulness, and joy. These fourteen songs are our attempt to capture that mystery in song. The long night is over and the light of the world has come. Prepare Him room.

Heaven Has Come

For many, Christmas is far from “the most wonderful time of the year.” But when grief feels unbearable, when our resources are depleted, when the shame of sin crushes our spirits, and when heaven seems an eternity away, Christmas brings unimaginably good news: heaven has come to us.

Savior: Celebrating the Mystery of God become Man

Savior contains twelve truth-saturated songs, suitable for worshiping God year-round. Each song ponders and celebrates the reason for Christ’s coming.

Australia Together 2022 Retreat Recap

In July, Sovereign Grace Churches Australia launched the inaugural conference named ‘Together’. It brought together Sovereign Grace, Sydney and Sovereign Grace, Parramatta (the two Sovereign Grace churches in Australia) for a weekend of fellowship, worship, and making memories together!

The theme was: ‘Side by Side For The Gospel’. They discussed what biblical and gospel centered partnership looks like as they seek to pioneer a new denomination in Australia and extend our family of churches across this great land.

It was a great time away for our churches! We had such unity as we sang, prayed, feasted, and prayed together, side by side for the Gospel! Dave Taylor, Senior Pastor, Sovereign Grace Church, Sydney

An Update from Bolivia

An update from David Del Castillo, recently ordained elder, at Iglesia Gracia Soberana, Santa Cruz, Bolivia:

I have been really looking forward to this moment, since I want to update you on what God is doing among us. Thank you for all the support. It is very nice to be able to count on so many brothers in this great family to which we belong.

First of all, let me tell you that God has blessed us with several faithful people who have a passion for the gospel and are beginning to understand our Statement of Faith and our seven shared values. God has been very good to us. The church has grown remarkably compared to last year and now demands our focus on other challenges related to membership and leadership. We want God to guide us as we move forward. If you would like to see more of what our family has been doing, there is a video here.

Pastors Conference 2022 Messages

I’m still recounting all of the ways God was good to us last week in Orlando. As I reflect on His goodness, my list of the ways He blessed us only continues to grow! May God receive all the glory for how He worked among us during our Council of Elders meeting, and during the Pastors Conference. The preaching during our conference was simply outstanding and is now available on our website. We pray that this collection of Main Sessions and select Breakout Sessions will equip and strengthen you and your church.

Resources for the Interpretation & Proclamation of Scripture

On the Sovereign Grace Pastors College website is a wonderful resource celebrating its 2-year anniversary. Originally designed for pastors but available to all who wish to deepen their understanding of the Bible, The Pastors College Bibliography is an in-depth guide to resources for the interpretation and proclamation of scripture.

Especially noteworthy is the Commentaries section with listings for every book of the Bible, with top recommendations.

The apostle Paul brings his final letter to a close with this stirring and sober charge: “Preach the word” (2 Tim 4:2). The Pastors College Bibliography (PCB) was compiled to serve the pastors of Sovereign Grace as they heed this charge—to study, cherish, and proclaim the riches of God’s Word.
