We Sing

There are endless opinions when it comes to the singing and music in our weekend services. That is not surprising as music and songs connect to us on a deeper and emotional level. It just “feels” so much more personal than a sermon. That is why it can elicit such strong opinions. However, when you think about it, as a society, we do not actually do a lot of singing together with others. There are hardly any events that we do that. The only exception is probably concerts or birthdays. Christians, on the other hand, have been a singing people since the beginning. In fact, we sing every single week when we gather with other Christians. Why do we do that? What is so special about singing that we have musicians spending hours each week practising, so that they can lead us in singing songs? Let us explore that this coming Sunday.
