Episode 107: "Going to the Army!" - Marc Harry's Podcast - The History of Salvation Army Music P1 (1865-1905)

August 14, 2023 00:00 - 2 hours - 183 MB

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 Army began - as The Christian MIssion - in 1865 when William Booth preached outside The Blind Beggar pub in Whitechapel, East London.  Spreading throughout the whole of England, Wales and Scotland in its first decade it became The Salvation Army in 1...

Episode 106: 'The Salvation Meeting (66) - Queen Elizabeth II Vigil - 18/09/2022

September 18, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 126 MB

'The Salvation Meeting' makes its return this Sunday after my summer break. It returns with something, by necessity, a little different from a 'normal' meeting. The 90 minute 'special' has been specially written and recorded to be broadcast the evening before the funeral of our late Queen Elizabeth II and takes the form of a 'Heavenward-looking Vigil' Specially selected Salvation Army music and songs are interspersed with thoughts reflecting Her Majesty's life and service, partic...

Episode 105: Salvation Meeting (65) - Jesus - the Way, Truth and Life (What is a Salvation Meeting?)

July 03, 2022 00:00 - 58 minutes - 80 MB

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? In these days when most corps only have one service on a Sunday it seems strange to some to imagine we once had at least 3 indoor meetings, Sunday Schools, Open-Air meetings and more EVERY Sunday! Each meeting had its own focus - Praise, personal Holiness - and Salvation - the m...

Episode 104: Salvation Meeting (64) - PENTECOST (Sunday 5th June, 2022)

June 05, 2022 00:00 - 55 minutes - 76.3 MB

"Send the Fire!" What must it have been like to have been in that room...that day...on that occasion when the sound of a mighty wind brought tongues of flame to settle on each person's head? And then to have gone out into the streets with the followers of Jesus as each man heard the message in his own language - as the sheer POWER of the Holy Spirit on that first Day of Pentecost saw many thousands of people saved! Well...all the best times have NOT already happened!  Did YOU kno...

Episode 103: Salvation Meeting (62) - "STOP - I want to get off!" - Sunday 15th May 2022

May 15, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 88.2 MB

"I've had enough!!" "Stop the world, I wanna get off!" Heard these expressions?  Maybe you've said them? Life can sometimes seem like a trial - one thing after another, problems piling up... Peter gives us reassurance in his first epistle: "So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead, even though the going is rough for a while down here." Of course, nothing we endure could ever get anywhere near the trials faced by Job - yet Job managed to remain faithful (even if he DID ha...

Episode 102: Salvation Meeting (60) - "Donkey-Mania!" - Palm Sunday 2022

April 10, 2022 00:00 - 50 minutes - 69.8 MB

Never has there been a more maligned animal than the poor old donkey!  Forever seen as slow, grumpy and - in the words of GK Chesterton  "The devil's walking parody of all four-footed things." But, as the general once wrote "In the service of Jesus there's a place for all" and oh yes, our donkey had his day! There's a lot more to the story than you may know, though...so come and join me for a great time of Salvation Army fellowship, worship and music in this week's Salvation Meeti...

Episode 101: Salvation Meeting (59) - featuring the music of General John Larsson (PTG)

April 03, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 89.6 MB

While in every way this is a 'traditional' Salvation Meeting in every other way I decided to use exclusively the music of General John Larsson, recently Promoted to Glory. While choosing the music for meeting - songs, choruses, band piece, songster and singing company songs - I tried to keep away from the many songs the General wrote for the many musicals he co-wrote with General John Gowans.  I hope to feature each musical in a stand-alone episode of its own in my other podcast se...

Episode 100: Salvation Meeting (58) - "A Prayer for Peace"

March 20, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 84 MB

The meeting is titled "A Prayer for Peace" and we will be lifting up the situation in Ukraine to God in the very best Salvation Army way. Music from the International Staff Band and Songsters, Sunbury Junior Singers, Canadian Staff Band, Portsmouth Citadel Songsters and much more... Music from composers including Eric Ball, Ray Steadman-Allen, Kenneth Downie, 'Gowans & Larsson' and Howard Davies are blended with prayers from Salvationists worldwide...asking God to intervene in the...

Episode 99: Salvation Meeting 57 - Ebenezer!

March 14, 2022 00:00 - 59 minutes - 81.5 MB

There can be no doubt about it! God HAS blessed The Salvation Army over the 157 years of its existence.  He still blesses our ministry today - in well over 130 countries all around the world.  Hallelujah! But, there can be no denying it, the membership/soldiery of the Army has declined to numbers well below those we remember in years gone by.  Should we shake our heads and wonder what has happened, while we fade away even further?  Or do we take our inspiration from parts of the w...

Episode 98: Salvation Meeting 56 - St David's Day Special - 06 03 2022

March 06, 2022 00:00 - 54 minutes - 74.3 MB

To mark St David's Day there is a distinctly Welsh flavour to the meeting this evening. Some of the very greatest hymn tunes ever and some beautiful traditional Welsh melodies including 'David  of the White Rock', Suo Gan and Gwahoddiad. Musical items from Cardiff Canton Band and Singing Company, Morriston Corps and soprano soloist Joy Naylor. All wrapped in the wonderful message of Christ's salvation!  What more could you want?

Episode 97: Salvation Meeting (54) - 06 02 2022 -To Be Like Jesus

February 06, 2022 00:00 - 57 minutes - 79.7 MB

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 ...

Episode 96: Salvation Meeting (53) - 16 01 2022 -TRUST ME!

January 16, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 83.1 MB

This week's meeting is based on a 2 word phrase that God spoke to me a few years ago - so clearly it may as well have been though my hi-fi speakers: TRUST ME Simple?  Well, not as simple as it sounds...but great advice all the same! But it's a message not just for us as individuals - I BELIEVE IT'S ALSO A MESSAGE FOR THE CHURCH - as we step out into a world that has largely forgotten and ignored its Christian roots. Music from Norwich Citadel Band, the ISB, National Songsters, M...

Episode 95: Salvation Meeting (52) - 09 01 2022 - Faithful God, Wandering People

January 09, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 93.5 MB

This week's Meeting for Fortress Radio - the 52nd in my series - has a very special guest speaker - Capt Nicholas J. Samuel - CO at the London (Ontario) Corps in Canada.  You may know his name also as a well-known SA composer of band and songster music. He reads from and speaks about Judges 2 - with insight about a wandering people and their relationship with an ever-faithful God. Some great songs (And Can It Be?  To the Hills and music from the International Staff Songsters, Clyd...

Episode 94: Salvation Meeting (51) - New Year - Resolution or Revolution?

January 02, 2022 00:00 - 53 minutes - 73.4 MB

Tired of the same old promises to change?  Still biting your nails?  Not losing weight...again? The world needs more from Christians than trivial changes like these - it needs us to create a REVOLUTION!  If ever this world needed the knowledge of its loving Saviour, Jesus Christ then it needs is right now - it needs the PEACE of Christ, the LOVE of Christ, the HEALING POWER of His Holy Spirit. Tonight's meeting reflects on the WONDER of Christmas - the MAJESTY of God, the AMAZING ...

Episode 93: Salvation Meeting (50) - The Light of the World

December 05, 2021 00:00 - 55 minutes - 76.5 MB

The theme for the meeting tonight proclaims Jesus as 'The Light of the World'. At this time of Advent  I am always made acutely aware of the aptness of Joy Webb';s beautiful song 'Come Into Our World'.  Yes, of course it is really HIS world but, as the song alludes 'men have forgotten Him and how to pray'. Certainly, if EVER this dark world needed a light it is NOW...if ever it needed JESUS - it needs Him now. We often think this is the job of professional preachers, church leade...

Episode 92: GttA Episode 39 (Nov 2021) - The Music of American Salvationists (1).mp3

"Going to the Army!" is a podcast series featuring Salvation Army music. This 39th Episode is for November 2021 and continues the "Going to the Army!" ministry, which is now in its 8th year of broadcasting.  This time we have the first part of a 2 episode 'special' using the music of American composers and recognizing the wonderful contribution they have made to Salvation Army Music over many, many years.  As always, it features bands, songsters, soloists, a massed item from the R...

Episode 91: Salvation Meeting 49 - "Are You Weary?" Sunday 7th November 2021

November 07, 2021 00:00 - 55 minutes - 76.1 MB

A theme question for the meeting tonight may well be something along the lines of ‘Are You Weary’?  It’s that time of year again, isn’t it?  Half way between our summer holidays and Christmas, the weather - in the UK, at least, is turning colder and most of us have resorted to putting our heating on - at home and in our  Army Halls, the trees have turned that wonderful myriad of colours between yellow, red and brown and we’ve pulled our winter coats out of the wardrobe…yes, it’s def...

Episode 90: Salvation Meeting (48) 3rd October 2021 - The Blood of Jesus

October 03, 2021 00:00 - 58 minutes - 80.8 MB

It's been a while, friends. It is only now I am feeling so much better that I can look back and appreciate quite how poorly I had become in the late spring/early summer this year.  It is WONDERFUL to feel better and also to be back producing these meetings. This meeting I described as a 'Salvation Army Extravaganza' - and it's theme is the Universal message we share with the whole world about the saving power found only in the Blood of Jesus Christ! Music from David Daws and Enfi...

Episode 89: Praise Meeting (47) 30th May 2021

May 30, 2021 00:00 - 56 minutes - 77.4 MB

Some great hymns and songs, Salvation Army choruses, band, songster and singing company items and even more - including words of personal witness, bible readings and prayers. Just like being 'at the Army! Let your light shine for Jesus wherever you go and a theme for this meeting might be ...

Episode 88: Salvation Meeting (46) - 16th May, 2021

May 16, 2021 00:00 - 52 minutes - 72 MB

Ascension! For the 46th in my series of Salvation Meetings for Fortress Radio. I am delighted to welcome my old friend Lt Col. Ced Hills who speaks on the subject of the Ascension. The meeting is a bit of a 'Portsmouth Citadel Reunion'. Ced sat next to me on the euphonium section at Portsmouth when he was our CO a decade or so ago and we became good friends. So both Portsmouth Citadel Band ( John Hanchett) and Songsters (Julie Wheeler) take part in this meeting as well as there being s...

Episode 87: Salvation Meeting (45) - 2nd May, 2021

May 02, 2021 00:00 - 56 minutes - 77.6 MB

The 45th in the series of Salvation Meetings I have prepared for Fortress Radio sees a rare (for me) departure into the Old Testament and one of the great prophets - Ezekiel and his vision of the Mega-Temple. I was led to quote earlier in my preparations: "Discussing Ezekiel's everso vivid prophecies with burning chariots and spinning wheels and dry bones reforming I question what medications he was taking and say "I'll have what Ezekiel's on!" In all seriousness, though, this stor...

Episode 86: Salvation Meeting (44) - 18th April, 2021

April 18, 2021 00:00 - 55 minutes - 76.3 MB

Dare To Be a........Thomas?   The disciple Thomas sometimes gets a bit of a rough ride, I think. His reputation and legacy seems to be based on nothing but his 'doubting' - and hence his name has been used for millennia as the epitome of scepticism! Join me for the Salvation Meeting on Fortress Radio where we look at so much more that we can learn from Thomas - enough that, instead of Daniel for a change, might not some of us even 'Dare to be a Thomas'? Music from the ISB, Port...

Episode 85: Easter Sunday Salvation Meeting (42) - 4th April, 2021

April 04, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 92.2 MB

This Easter Day Salvation Meeting is very much a celebration of the Risen Christ - and it's great to be able to welcome Colonel Phil Maxwell (who delivers the sermon), his wife Deslea who also speaks and my friend Matt Woods as well. When Col Maxwell sent a vocal solo to accompany his message he got Matt's name slightly wrong (Mark instead of Matt) and it was only when I listened to the beautiful voice I realised that it was young Matthew at once, of course! Join me then, for ...

Episode 83: Salvation Meeting (42) - 21st March, 2021

March 21, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 85.9 MB

  STRESS...WORRY...CARES....ANXIETIES... Symptoms of life that we just have to live with in 2021? Or is there a solution? Peter gives us the answer in the last Chapter of his First Epistle - and comes up with 'one of the best verses in the whole bible'! This week's Salvation Meeting - the 42nd meeting I have produced since the start of the pandemic and marking a whole year of online ministry - is the last in our series looking at Peter's 1st letter. Some great congregational s...

Episode 81: Salvation Meeting (40) - 7th March, 2021

March 07, 2021 00:00 - 55 minutes - 76.4 MB

This week's SALVATION MEETING for Fortress Radio is the 40th in the series I have prepared since the first lockdown almost a year ago. This time we take a look at part of 1 Peter ch 3 and try to apply the advice there to our lives at this specific time.

Episode 80: Salvation Meeting (39) - "Guardian of our Way" - 21st February 2021

February 21, 2021 00:00 - 52 minutes - 71.6 MB

"My time, matey, not yours!" - is what God told me very clearly earlier this week as I was growing impatient for inspiration! This is the 39th meeting I have prepared for FORTRESS RADIO since the Covid lockdowns began in March 2020 This meeting is the third in the series based on the 1st Epistle of Peter - this time -chapter 2.  How can we best be 'walking advertisements' for Jesus in this evil world?

We are told to 'BE HOLY'. God doesn't expect us to achieve the target overnight...it might take a lifetime - but that's OK as He has the patience - and an unlimi...

January 31, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 83.9 MB

Doom and Gloom   If a month has five Sundays then the 5th will always be a good old Salvation Army praise meeting - yes the kind you might remember from your childhood and younger days - often accompanied, if you recall, with indigestion caused by rushing down a full roast dinner in the hour you might have managed to get at home between morning and afternoon activities at the army! This week we have music from Erik Leidzen, Robert Redhead, William Himes, Trevor Davis, Karl Westwo...

Episode 77: Salvation Meeting (35) - "Which Way are YOU Going?" - 17th January 2021

January 17, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 87.9 MB

"Which Way are YOU Going?"   This Salvation Meeting - the 35th in the series I have produced for Fortress Radio since the Covid-19 Pandemic struck in March 2020 - is all about walking our life's pathways with Jesus. Do you walk with Him?  Talk with Him? There are many times when it is difficult for all of us - and many of us have been directly affected by the virus, of course. Rest assured, that whatever might happen to us here on Earth we, as Christians, are always promised a j...

January 03, 2021 00:00 - 1 hour - 94.3 MB

  "Epiphany" One of my friends posted this week that he likes to 'linger a little longer at the manger' at Christmas each year. Well, today is only '10 Lords a Leaping' day, I think - so our first Salvation Meeting of 2021 this evening has a distinctly 'Epiphany' theme - and the terms 'Worship and Adoration' would make a suitable title for the meeting. Music comes from Pasadena Tabernacle Band, Regent Hall Band, Ilford Songsters, The International Staff Band & Songsters, East London You...

Always Shine For Him This week's Salvation Meeting - the 24th in the series of meetings prepared since the start of the Caronavirus Pandemic - has a rather 'celebratory' feel about it.  we are celebrating LOVE - not just the wonderful, life-changing love of God for us but also various aspects of our own 'human love'.   This week our family has marked birthdays and anniversaries (including my own and that of my youngest daughter) and it has also been the 40th wedding anniversary of...
