WORSHIP IS BIBLICAL

The people of God sing. The role of singing during worship is biblical.

  • Exod. 15.1 - Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has hurled both horse and rider into the sea. - (NLT).

  • Singing was part of Israel’s formal worship in both tabernacle and temple (1 Chron. 6:31–32, 16:42).

  • The Psalms bear rich testimony that in joy and sorrow, in praise and lament, the faithful raise their voices in song to God.

  • Hymn singing was practiced by Jesus and his disciples.  Matt. 26:30 - Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives. (NLT).

  • The Apostle Paul instructed the Colossians, “Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.” - Col. 3: 16(NLT).

Mission of Songs in Worship

  • Helping people connect with Jesus.

  • Singing in worship gives us the vocabulary and actions to express praise and worship to God.

  • Singing both expresses and affects our emotions so that we grow one step closer to Jesus.

  • Singing helps unite, encourage and inspire the body of Christ.

  • Church worship can change and transform individuals and communities for the glory of God, from the inside out.
