Welcome to The Next Sunday. As your worship pastor, I see it as essential that you know why we sing the songs we sing on Sunday mornings. This blog will keep you informed of not only what songs First Baptist will be singing, but why we will be singing them.
It is not enough to simply say “I like this song” and do it congregationally. In corporate worship we must affirm truths of scripture. If there is not a solid link between what we sing and a truth about God found in the bible, we sing for nothing. We should prefer to sing a song of a style we dislike that has solid theology than a song that we love with watered-down, ambiguous references to "god". My hope is that, by unpacking these worship songs, you will have a better understanding of the Gospel truths we sing at First Baptist Church.

ReplyDeleteCan I vote for "Blessed Be Your Name?" I always love when we sing that one :o)
