Introduction:

·        What’s the purpose of singing in worship? (teaching, admonishing, to God)

·        Unfortunately, this subject sets us apart from most of the Christian world.

What Does the Bible Say:

·        Eph 5:19:  sing and make melody

·        Col  3:16 sing to God with grace in your hearts

·        We are bound to follow the pattern

What Does Singing do for Us:

·        Teach and admonish Col 3:16

·        Comfort:  Acts 16:23-25

·        Express Joy, Sadness, any emotion

Conclusion:

·        Don’t allow the contention over the pattern to rob you of the benefits of singing
