Have you ever wished you could watch your favorite Homecoming songs one right after another? Now you can with the Homecoming Classics Series! Each volume contains 20 of the most requested performances from the Gaither Homecoming Series.

Bill Gaither has long dreamed of bringing together a diverse group of authors, theologians, artists and children to share the longing and curiosity about what is heaven. Through music, dialogue and readings, Bill and Gloria Gaither and their Homecoming Friends, along with well-known authors, pastors, and speakers explore--and perhaps glimpse--what heaven will be like.

The Homecoming Friends share songs, laughs, tears, and hugs on Harmony In The Heartland. In a video taped in Indiana, before their deaths, Glen Payne and Rex Nelon make one of their final appearances. See how they embrace and inspire one another on this unbelievable video.

Gathering together to tape the Homecoming Series has been a rich worship experience. The love, strength, shared history, encouragement, joy, commitment, and celebration in that room left everyone feeling that they were on Holy Ground. As you watch this video and listen to the music of the songs, you too will witness the feeling of being on Holy Ground.

If the Homecoming Friends look like they're having fun on the :What A time!" video, they are! Packed into this 90-minute video we featured artists Jonathan Wilburn, gold City, Jake Hess, David Phelps, Eva Mae LeFevre, James Blackwood, Ivan Parker, Ann Downing, the Reggie Saddler Family, and the Pfiefers, just to name a few. The Crabb Family make their big debut with "Please Forgive Me" while the Lewis Family perform a tune - "this Flight That Is Leavin' Soon" - that's guaranteed tp make everyone a bluegrass lover. Another bright moment is "Scatter Sunshine" featuring the trio of Woody Wright, Jeanne Johnson and Stephen Hill. Also included us a real show-stopper, Anthony Burger's piano medley of "Great Is Thy Faithfulness," "How Big Is God" and "How Great Thou Art."

From Father Abraham to John the Revelator, from the first century church to this moment, the people of God have always seen themselves as pilgrims — never settlers. "This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through" is more than a line from an old song. This sojourner's theme has been told to children in stories, sent in letters of encouragement to friends, preached from pulpits and whispered behind the closed doors of the underground church in times of persecution. But mostly, it's been sung. When kings were unjust, they sang of a kingdom whose builder and ruler was God. When the world seemd like a foreign country and when the strange language of power and materialism was the accepted tongue, these pilgrims reminded each other that they were natives of a far better place to which they were traveling. When they were separated, estranged or lonely, they sang of a great homecoming when all the singers would one day be together around their Father's throne.

There was a time when the need for "community" pulled folks from their homes to country churches for worship and fellowship. Today, we are crowded into cities, surrounded by stimulation, and bombarded by noise. Yet, we are often no closer to each other than we were our pioneer ancestors. Now, more than ever, we need community, fellowship, and a place to turn our hearts toward the things that last forever.

Join Bill & Gloria Gaither and their Homecoming Friends for this live video celebration recorded in the magnificent Mosaiek Theatre in Johannesburg, South Africa.
