The Power of the Cross

From wretched to blessed! This is what happens when you put your trust in Jesus Christ. He doesn't just forgive - He transforms everything about you! ✨

"But how does your voice benefit your church — especially if your singing voice sounds like a dog’s howl?

The power of your participation in congregational singing is not in the quality of your tone but in your voice’s testimony to God’s faithfulness. Your participation in singing signifies to all those around you that you love Jesus and trust his gospel.

"By heartily singing, “What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus!” you are exhorting those around you to lay hold of that precious truth. By singing of your sin and salvation, you are instructing your church, spouse, children, friends, and neighbors in gospel truth."

Only Jesus Saves

Can't earn salvation but you CAN earn death through sin! The difference? Salvation is God's FREE GIFT through Jesus Christ alone. Not Buddha, not Muhammad, not your own spirituality - ONLY JESUS SAVES! 💪⛪

Genuine Worship in Singing is Wrought by the Holy Spirit.

True worship isn’t about the external music, the ‘act’ of singing, frequency of singing, or number of songs on Sundays. Also, singing is not exercised because of “tradition,” “habit,” or merely “to include a song” in order to say we’ve worshipped God.

True worship through singing comes from the Holy Spirit’s work in one’s heart. Ephesians 5:18-19 is key to our understanding of where worship emanates: “And do not get drunk with wine, in which there is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your hearts to the Lord.”

True worship supernaturally emanates from the heart (v. 19) of a Spirit-filled life, which connects back to a life of walking in obedience to Christ (v. 18).

“Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious.” —Psalm 66:1–2

Worship isn't about us. It's about Him. Whether we're getting goosebumps or not, the song is worth singing because it's sung to Him.

“Singing together bears compelling witness to the truth. It says to those watching on and listening in that, just as we sing the same melody together, we share the same faith, the Faith; not a self-made creed for a solo journey toward nowhere, but commitment to our one Lord of all, who transforms the life we live together and will bring us home to eternity.” - Keith Getty
