We are a forgetful people in a land of distractions. Our minds are easily captivated by trivial and temporary inducements. New things quickly become old. In our mind’s eye even glory tends to fade and warnings tend to wane. It is no wonder that we who are invisibly united to Christ and visibly in and not of this world live in constant need of renewal. And what is true for the Christian is true for the church. This is a series that seeks to renew the mind of the church. Not so much by reviewing what she is called to do as much as what she is called. As with the Christian so with church, her God-given identity defines her. We who are the church are a people for God and none other.
Before we return to the book of Romans, we will be looking at the what scripture says about the Church, in its nature, how she expresses herself in song, and how the church cares and equips for its members.

The Source of the Church's Song - Part 2
“The Source of the Church's Song: Sola Scriptura and Music"; The Reformers used music to teach and transform the church. First, because they could not help but to sing out of the rediscovery of the gospel, but also, they saw singing as an indispensable tool to teach the deep truths and doctrines of scripture to the people. This message looks at the biblical foundation for why we believe what we sing.
