Practicing Primitivism: Worship in Song

Churches that opt for acapella singing instead of using instruments are often looked upon with curiosity in modern culture. After all, since David used instruments and God talks about instruments in Heaven, surely He doesn’t mind if we use them now. Is this, however, how to determine authority for worshiping God? Is this how Christians in the first century reasoned in seeking to offer God the worship He desires? In this study, we will explore the use of instruments in the Old Testament, examine the authority for doing so, and determine whether this same line of authority instructs the people of God today.A sermon given by Greg Chandler on August 14, 2022.
