Did Jesus ever do karaoke?

from Redemption HOU podcast Hosted by Redemption HOU

Big Ideas - Mark 14:26, Psalm 113-118 - We see little snippets of God’s character in Jesus’ life - Jesus sings - This is how Jesus chooses to spend his last night, singing hymns with his friends - Redemption started as a place that was safe for cynics and doubters (it still is). For a lot of us, it’s scarier to sing, to pray, to be vulnerable in our joy - Traditionally, Jews sang Psalm 113-118. This is a good guess for the songs Jesus sang on this night. - They say “Praise Yahweh” over and over - Things were dark and hard, but they still sang Praise Yahweh - These are songs of resistance - In this moment, even if I don’t feel it, I believe God’s steadfast love endures forever. - They sang with gusto, “this is the day the lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad” - We feel things and say things in worship that we don’t think or say the rest of the week - We are singing WITH JesusQuestions - Read these Psalms together - What would it be like to sing these songs with Jesus? - What does your heart grab on to in these psalms today? - Challenge yourself if you don’t think you’re a singer. Apparently Jesus thinks you need to do this too. - What are things you sing or think in worship that you don’t the rest of the week? - What would change if you felt like you were singing WITH Jesus? - Do you feel like you need this practice of singing hymns?
