Worship Team Unite

After a year unlike any other, we have finally embarked on bringing together one of our most cherished ministries by bringing together the talent that lives within our own Church Family and we are most delighted to announce the coming together of The Door Church Downtown Worship Team. Pictured above is a few of our members including Pastor Wesley and Hannah Wesley, along with Tina, Veronyka and Israel, rehearsing before Sunday Service.

Psalm 57:9, “I will praise You, Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to You among the nations.”

Congregational & Individual Singing are Explicitly Commanded by God

When the people of God gather for corporate worship, they have not come to watch a concert, quietly sit and listen to a band, or simply meditate to music and words together.  This is not to say that listening to special music or attending a concert cannot edify, should not be a part of a worship service, or not be worshipful.  Those are helpful but there are a multitude of commands, exhortations, and encouragements to sing and praise the Lord in vocal participation as a congregation.  Bob Kauflin says that the BIble has over four hundred indirect references to singing and at least fifty direct commands to sing. Many of these passages below are from the Psalms – the congregational ‘hymnal’ of the Old Testament exhorting us to worship both corporately and individually through singing. - 10 reasons why singing is essential to worship by Joe Lum ( https://thecripplegate.com/10-reasons-why-singing-is-essential-to-worship/ )
