n this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony delve into Colossians 3:16–17, exploring the essential role of singing in Christian worship. They discuss how singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs is both a command and a spiritual discipline for believers, emphasizing its importance in teaching gospel truths and fostering mutual edification within the body of Christ. Singing is not merely an individual act of worship but a communal practice that unites the church in shared faith and gratitude. The hosts reflect on the transformative power of music in worship, emphasizing its role in shaping Christian character and relationships. They explore how singing serves as a means of mutual instruction, allowing believers to proclaim gospel truths to one another while glorifying God. Jesse and Tony also highlight the need for congregants, particularly men, to actively participate in worship through singing, modeling obedience and devotion for their families and fellow believers. Additionally, the conversation touches on how the act of singing transcends generational and cultural boundaries, bringing together believers of all ages and backgrounds. The hosts underscore the unique power of music to unite the church, deepen spiritual formation, and prepare hearts for eternal worship around the throne of God. Key Points: The Command to Sing Singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs is a biblical command for all believers, rooted in passages like Colossians 3:16–17 and Ephesians 5. This act of worship is not optional but central to the Christian life. Singing as Mutual Instruction Worship through singing serves as a means of teaching and admonishing one another in gospel truths. It is a communal act that fosters spiritual growth and unity among believers. The Role of Men in Worship Jesse and Tony discuss the importance of men leading by example in worship, particularly through singing, to encourage their families and the congregation to participate wholeheartedly. Music's Power to Unite and Transform Singing in worship transcends individual preferences and abilities, uniting believers of all ages and backgrounds in a shared expression of faith and gratitude to God. Practical Encouragement for Worship Participation The hosts encourage listeners to prioritize singing in both corporate worship and family settings, reminding them that even imperfect voices glorify God and edify the church. Questions for Reflection: How does your personal approach to singing in worship align with the biblical command to sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs? In what ways can congregational singing foster unity and mutual edification in your church? How can you encourage those around you, especially within your family, to participate in worship through singing? What steps can you take to incorporate doctrinally sound music into your daily life and family worship?

We are continuing the section of the podcast series that proceeds step by step through the Mass to look at the various sections and rubrics of the liturgy. In this week's episode, we focus on the section from the Introit up to the Collect. These prayers and the symbolism of the liturgical gestures have a deep history, which is apparent when we open our hand Missals to see phrases like “The Mass of the Catechumens” and “Stational Churches.” What do these terms mean? And what is signified during this beginning portion of the Mass? https://angeluspress.org/products/the-life-of-st-francis-de-sales See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We'd love your feedback on this series! podcast@sspx.org – – – – – – View this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/exVo2tu44hQ – – – – – – – The Society of Saint Pius X offers this series and all of its content free of charge.

All joking aside, Hebrews 13:15 tells us that the sacrifice of praise that we offer to God is the fruit of our lips and we are giving thanks to His name. Danny and Kurt will discuss the singing that the church is called to do and some of the innerworkings of that commandment.

Sermon Four in our Worship by the Word series.
When the various movements of Reformation came the worship services of the churches were transformed. Out with the old form of singing by choirs and monks and other clergy and their musical instruments. Any thing that was only for entertainment and passive worship in Latin was to go or be transformed into the language of the people in a style that was easy to memorize and sing. Based on the principle that what the church did in the worship of God must be based on the Scripture alone two schools of thought emerged. One could do in the service what was glorifying to God and upbuilding to the church if it was not prohibited by Scripture. This normative principle was followed by Luther and later the Anglicans. Luther himself wrote 37 hymns many based on the Psalms but all containing truths of Scripture. This was a major way the Reformation truths were taught and spread. The second principle followed by the Reformed such as Zwingli and Calvin is known as the regulative principle. Therefore one could only do in the congregational worship what was clearly authorized by the Scripture. So at first due to reaction to what was considered idolatrous no singing was done. Calvin however made the restoration of congregation singing a condition of his return to Geneva. He introduced the singing of psalms with the human voice only. He produced the Geneva Psalter.The scripture authorizes and commands singing in the assembly gatherings.

Brandon Sickling is the new associate pastor of worship at Bethlehem Baptist Church, so we decided to pick his brain a little on how he views worship. We talk through what it means for worship to be seen as a celebration and we get a glimpse into the process Brandon uses in picking out songs for the congregation each week. "Is this a song that I would want a member of my church to be singing on their deathbed?" Is a question Brandon asks of himself each week. He explains how we internalize a lot of theology through our singing and he wants us to be able to remember these truths not just throughout the week but for years to come. Let's worship God and encourage one another through the truth sung together each Sunday morning.
What is congregational singing? How should it be enacted in a worship service? So many different opinions and thoughts go into something so wide and broad.

It is easy to take for granted the ability to sing together with fellow Christians on Sunday. We can even sing together in the public square if we wanted to! That hasn't always been the case. For that reason, I think it's important to take a "quick" look through history to see how we have a long history of singing together and should celebrate our ability to do so today. This is a longer episode, but I don't go too deep into any one particular time period or episode in church history; so, let me know if you want me to explore more details of something that piques your interest!
Psalm 150 1 Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. 2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. 3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 4 praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, 5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. 6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. (NIV)
