It is both the joy and duty of Christians to gather together for worship. But if you've ever wondered why music is so important to your faith, you can turn to the Bible and the church’s experience for truth. Worship at His Footstool, a music worship team based in the Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, area, shares a few reasons why music ministry is important to your Christianity.

Since the beginning of the early church, preaching the Gospel has been a central part of worship. But music is also a key element, opening communication between God and His people. From Moses and Mariam honoring God for their rescue from the Egyptians to the Seraphim singing “Holy, Holy, Holy” in the Book of Revelation (4:8), the Bible is full of musical praise. Today, as we go to church, we continue to give glory to God through song.

The Book of Psalms is full of examples of worship and includes several commands to sing. We are told to “sing praises to the Lord” (9:11), “sing for joy” (33:1), and sing “a new song” (96:1). God wants us to be creative in our music and reference His powerful work in our lives and the world around us.

As we grow in our faith, we get to know God relationally. We learn about His power and greatness. The knowledge of who He is inspires us to worship. Singing is the overflow of that awe and joy and is the least we can offer to an amazing God.

Music ministry encourages us to open our hearts as well. In the New Testament, Paul tells the Christians in Ephesus and Colossae to sing spiritual songs and hymns to keep them from falling into sin. It is meant to encourage them in their faith and inspire thankfulness to God. Even in the middle of hard times, music reminds us of who God is and how we can trust Him in all things.

Have you ever noticed how singing lifts your soul? The worship leaders at Worship at His Footstool want to create an atmosphere of delight in God. They travel to different churches and religious organizations, performing music ministry and inspiring many to pursue God. These talented musicians know all the ins and outs of church performance and can work with your church to help grow your music ministry.
