Sam Scales Music Mission Statement
CONNECTING TOGETHER – SHARING THE GIFT – TO AWAKEN - CONNECTING TOGETHER
From the beginning of my Christian walk to today, I’ve always been drawn to music and it’s vessels through whom the Lord works. Even as a child, before I was saved, I remember being drawn to music – and after salvation – I found my purpose for that interest. Initially I connected with those who served in the worship team and later became a “roadie” for a local Christian Band, followed by joining choir or praise teams, sang solos for special music in churches to eventually launching out as an Indie singer/songwriter. Throughout this journey there was always someone who encouraged me along the way.
So therefore this became my mission. Since then, I’ve been privileged to have been mentored by some of Nashville’s finest, as well as being sent to share a Word from the Lord with them. I’ve also seen many artistic servants be misunderstood, not accepted, nor validated in their gift and some found themselves in discouragement and ready to give up. My heart went out to them to bring them encouragement through God’s Word, to discover their gift as well as continue to grow and develop their craft.
SHARING THE GIFT
Each of us have been given a specific group of people we are to minister to. As God teaches us valuable life lessons, for us musicians they become songs that will bring hope to those we are sent to. Therefore it is vital that we encourage one another to abide in Christ, in His Word and in His presence so that we will find strength to be effective ministers in the kingdom of God. It is not only my desire to see musicians set free, but also the body of Christ as a whole, to overcome strongholds and draw closer to Christ in their relationship. That can only take place when people are drawn to get to know Christ, rather than just know about Him.
TO AWAKEN
Musicians in the bible have always had a specific purpose. Not only for worship, but also for a call to war, to the breaking down of walls and stationed strong to see the enemy defeated before their eyes.
Music breaks down the barriers of souls otherwise unreceptive to God’s love because of the walls and strongholds they have built around their hearts because of unresolved pain. The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy, but God has given us victory in Christ!
The time is now to awaken from our own slumber and awaken not only the body of Christ, but also those who are unsaved and dying in their sin to the hope of God’s love, acceptance, forgiveness and restoration to a deep Father/Child relationship, as God intended before the fall of man.
My vision is to see Christian musicians lay down their ambitions at the feet of Christ and pick up a passion to unite together for the cause of Christ to walk in freedom, play in freedom and do what we are called to do.
Let’s do gig-shares, play together in a park, get together at a festival, join together for a cause to help someone else and play our hearts out for Jesus!

WHY PSALM 100?
Psalm 100
1Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing.
3 Know that the Lord Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
5 For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations.
This Psalm describes the Christian walk in a nutshell. Be joyful unto the Lord, serve Him with gladness, know Him and who He is (not just know about Him) and understand that we are His people and we don’t live for ourselves. Always be thankful when we approach the throne of grace for in this we bless His Name, for He is good. Finally let’s never forget that His lovingkindness is forever and so is His faithfulness to all generations of those who truly love Him.
THE VISION
To bring together Christian musicians to work with one another, so that God may be glorified through the talents united – to share the gift of music.
Lyrically solid songs and true Praise and Worship music, will rock the foundations, lift up the Name of the Holy One, and unify believers in praise and honor of Jesus Christ.
Music touches our lives in so many different ways and it can aid in the healing of hurting hearts and the breaking down of strongholds.
This shall be an ongoing ministry to continue seeking out talented servants of God with a heart for Christ and a heart for people.
Prayer and the Lord’s Holy Word shall always be first and foremost,
then the surrender of our talents given by Him to be used for His purpose and
His glory. May we stand as one in Christ.
STATEMENT OF FAITH
I believe that the Scripture of the Old and New Testaments is the infallible, inspired Word of God, and it is the supreme and final authority in faith and life.
I believe that God eternally exists in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
I believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and is both true God and true man.
I believe that man was created in the image of God. He sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God. All human beings are born with a sinful nature in thought, word and deed.
The Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a representative and perfect substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood, once and for all.
I believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, His ascension into Heaven, seated at the right hand of the Father and His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate.
I believe in the personal return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in power and glory.
I believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost.
All who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit and, thereby, they become children of God and therefore receive eternal life in Christ Jesus to dwell with Him in heaven.
