We resumed regular #MusicSermon services last weekend with a celebration of the real and true REMIX. Not these somebody-emailed-you-the-track-you-laid-you-verse-and-emailed-it-back joints, but the real and true, change the whole song, change the lyrics, up the energy, put fiftylemn people on it, shoot a new video, make it an event remixes. (Link to sermon is here, or you can fine the whole thing at the bottom of this post).

It only seemed fitting that we continue the celebration (since we have reference material) for this year’s #MusicSermon March Madness: The Battle of the Remixes. Now you have something to do while practicing social distancing!!

THE BATTLE OF THE REMIXES BRACKET

I chose selections and seeded them based on overall impact, the remix level (for example, there’s only one or two remixes that just added a rap verse, but those are powerful), and of course, most of them are from the ’90s. I also took into consideration the response to songs in the sermon, but the seeding’s probably at least mildly subjective.

You can download your bracket HERE along with your form to vote for Remix MVP (or you can vote below)!

VOTE FOR YOUR REMIX MVP!

Need some assistance remembering all these jams? We got you. You know there’s rarely a sermon without a playlist (what is a church without it’s music ministry?) Listen to the Remembering the Remix playlist on Apple Music or Spotify while you complete your bracket.

Check back on Selection Sunday to see if we have live bracket voting this year. Our usual platform (Brackify) shut down, so we’re examining alternatives.

We’ll see you in service on Sunday evening. Scroll down for the sermon! And don’t forget to wash your hands!!
