Living in the Light of the Resurrection
Living in the Light of the Resurrection

by Dr. H. Alan Dodson

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. I Corinthians 15:50-56

Reflecting on his salvation, a Christian powerfully realizes the promises of God. At the moment of justification, when God’s grace intervenes rescuing a sinner from eternal damnation, one grasps the great promise of Romans 10:13 that “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (ESV)…

Why a Lamb?
Why a Lamb?

by Todd W. Meadows

Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29b

In the opening chapter of John’s gospel, he introduces us to Jesus, the eternally existent Word (Jn 1:1) who made all things (Jn 1:3). Life itself resides in Jesus (1:4) and it is he who gives light to all men (1:9). He was the Word made flesh who dwelt among us and was full of grace and truth (1:14). He was before John the Baptist and greater than John the Baptist (1:24-28). It was this Jesus, the eternally existent Word made flesh, of whom John declared, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (Jn 1:29)…

Dwelling in Christ
Dwelling in Christ

by Michael West

One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock. Psalm 27:4-5

Has anything ever captivated you to the point that you are unable to stop looking at it? Perhaps you were once captivated by a fine piece of art, the vastness of the ocean, the grandeur of mountains. Why do these things capture us? Because we are wired to glory in what is greater. We love to delight ourselves in that which is grand, glorious, beautiful, and beyond us. And although those things are delightful, they pale in comparison to the greatness of God…

  • David Maslanka, Composer

    Your performances of the Symphony No.7 movement [IV] are very touching and beautiful. You have done fine work under very restricted circumstances. It is quite clear that your players are deeply involved in the music. So, what would it take for you to do the entire Symphony?

  • Jody Nagel Composer, Voyage of Discovery

    Your recording of "Voyage" is brilliant!!! Great intonation, tempo choices, balance, and attention to detail! It is certainly THE definitive recording. Your program notes for the entire CD are really good. I just listened to the CD in its entirety, and there's no doubt you have added a serious gift of music to the musical world.

  • Teresa Alzadon, Soprano - Staff Sergeant, The U.S. Army Field Band

    I recently heard it said that belief is passive, but that faith is belief-in-action. As founder and Artistic Director of Sacred Winds, Scott Bersaglia is truly a man of faith—he has put his beliefs into action in a most beautiful way: through music. What impressed me most about my experience as a soloist with Sacred Winds was this: despite the fact that the individual members are scattered across the United States and only rehearse as a group for a day or two before a performance, the cohesiveness of the ensemble is absolutely astonishing—as if they play together every day. Their spiritual unity and commitment to their collective mission—as well as their superb musicianship—allow them to play as one, under the inspired leadership of their conductor.

  • Thomas W. Bolton, Ph.D. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

    I am impressed that the group is not satisfied with merely playing the standard repertoire. You seem to realize that creativity should be very much a part of our identity and duty as Christians, as we reflect the image of the Creator Himself.

Order our album

The Sacred Winds Ensemble is excited to announce the release of their album, In Christ Alone. The recording features four works commissioned by the Sacred Winds Commissioning Project with each work based on well-known hymns including Praise to the Lord, All Creatures of Our God and King, Just A Closer Walk With Thee, and All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name. 
The album was recorded over two days at Tates Creek Christian Church in Lexington, KY, with three-time Grammy-award-winning recording engineer, David Lau, owner of Brookwood Studios in Plymouth, MI. With over 45 minutes of music, the album explores the wind ensemble’s rich diversity through the lens of the Christian worldview.
