to sing to Him.
7. Biblical Origin of Music?
• As early as Genesis 4:21 there was Jubal whose
name means “sound”. He is eight in line from
Adam and is said to be “the ancestor of all who
play the lyre and pipe.”
• In King David’s time we see organized singers
and musicians (Levites) ministered day and
night in the tabernacle and later in the temple.
(1 Chr 9:33, 15:16,27 16:4-6. 23:2-5, 30-31, 2Chr

8. The ministry of music is a SERVICE…
to GOD
• We worship God in music because God is most worthy to
be praised.
Psalm 92:1-4
“How good it is to give thanks to you, O Lord,
to sing in your honor, O Most High God,
To proclaim your constant love every morning,
And your faithfulness every night, with music of
stringed instruments and with melody
on the harp,
Your mighty deeds, O Lord make me glad;
Because of what you have done, I sing for joy.”
9. What is the Ministry of Music?
It is NOT just an opportunity to develop
one’s talents and skills.
It is NOT for the sake of pleasure or
personal fulfillment
It is NOT a spiritual opportunity for
glamour, prestige or popularity
It is NOT something “I have to do”
because of my gifts and talents.
10. What is the Ministry of Music?
It is not self or personal need centered
It is NOT gift or talent centered
It is NOT even music centered
It is GOD CENTERED
- If it is to be true worship, then it
must be acceptable, pleasing and
glorifying to GOD.
11. The ministry of music is a SERVICE
to the community.
• It is to support the community in praise and
worship.The songs to be sung and the styles to
be used should be those that the whole
community should be able to participate in the
worship of God. It means setting aside your
preferences in beat, style, volume or
arrangement for the sake of common good.
• It is not to call attention to itself.
12. The ministry of music is a SERVICE
to the community.
• It is to keep the community Musically alive.
Learn and teach new songs regularly.
• Prayerfully discern songs that are most
helpful to the spiritual life of the community.
The music ministry should be able to choose
the right song at the right time.
13. Music is an expression of Worship.
• Music to express praise, gratitude and thanksgiving.
Moses and the Israelites sang to the Lord after
crossing the red sea and seeing the great power of
the Lord against the Egyptians (Ex 15).
• Other examples of praise and thanksgiving: Psalm
92, 95, 98, 150.
• Music is to express repentance, sorrow and
transformation. David’s repentance when Nathan the
prophet came to him after his sin with Bethsheba
(Psalm 51)
14. Music is an expression of Worship.
• Music to express spiritual warfare. King
Jehoshapat of Juda appointed the singers at the
head of the army on their way to battle.Their
enemies were defeated (2Chr 20:21).The
Israelites went around the city of Jericho seven
times in procession with the Ark of Covenant,
singing and praising the Lord for seven days and
the walls of Jericho collapsed (Joshua 6:15-20).
In praising the Lord, we declare to the devil that
we belong to God. And praise is the throne of
God, for He inhabits the praises of His people.
