EVERYTHING BRANSON: Branson Gospel Sunday with Dave Hamner

Branson Gospel Sunday with Dave Hamner

This Sunday we continued our tour of Branson's many “Show Churches.” As you know a “Show Church” is a combination of a music show and a church. It is characterized by having a line-up of musical entertainment accompanied by preaching. Keep in mind that Show Churches generally do not have Sunday School, nursery facilities and the like for families. In this respect, they are more like Branson shows.

This Sunday we attended Dave Hamner's Branson Gospel Sunday. Not surprisingly this Show Church is located in the Hamner Barber Theater at 3090 Shepherd of the Hills Expressway in Branson. Its show time was at 10 am in the morning. The telephone number for this service is 417-334-4363.

Dave Hamner is a popular illusionist who performs at the Hamner Barber Theater.

Well we showed up a few minutes before 10 and were warmly greeted at the door. The opener song was a knock-out opening song and had the people clapping. There were two regulars that helped with the music and both are outstanding singers. I have included their pictures below.

We were delighted to learn that “Voices of Glory” were attending today and providing special music. These three young persons had been on America's Got Talent in 2009 and were Fifth Place Winners. They were great then and even better now. You will remember that these young people got started by singing around their mother's bed when she was comatose in the hospital. They were absolutely wonderful. You can “like” them by going to their “Facebook Page” at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Voices-Of-Glory/173686723827

The combination of the regular singers with the Voices of Glory certainly rated this Show Church as having the best music we have heard at Show Churches in Branson.

Dave Hamner then began preaching beginning about 10:40. His teaching completed the Book of John which he had been teaching from a number of years. It is obvious that Dave Hamner is interested in the Scriptures and had studied the backgounds of theBook of John mentioning such church fathers as Tertullian, Origen and the like. He was also knowledgeable of the fact that parts of John were written to combat gnosticism.

An invitatation was given at the end of the service which concluded about 11:20. Opportunties were given to remain and be ministered to in prayer. Also this was the first Show Church which gave an opportunity for communion.
