In church this week, we had a really interesting interesting service about how we worship. Throughout the last decade, I have experience a lot of services and experiences trying to move away from worship services that focus solely on music, but instead using alternative forms of worship. Other services have shared on how you can worship God throughout your daily life, outside of the church. I have found these to be beneficial and enlightening, but the service I just attended was a treat.
This service was on how special music is as a form of worship. Coming from a church that has struggled with quality and content of worship through music, this sermon was especially touching. It talked on the special qualities fo music to touch heart, mind, and soul in ways that nothing else can.
I have noted myself on many occasions how much of a gift music is in communing with and praising Jesus. Music is a deeply complex and beautiful machine and media, encompassing some of the most beautiful and interesting concepts of art and science. We take the feelings evoked by the music and use it to enhances the words we put to it. What a wonderful gift we have to be able to sing and make sounds of joy and praise to our creator and redeemer.
