Why do we sing in church? What does it do? And does it really matter if I participate?

In this bonus sermon from the Church on Fire series, we explore the importance of singing in the life of the church and discover how we can sing on purpose.

A church on fire sings!

Have you ever followed God and still felt like everything was falling apart?

Paul and Silas were obeying His call when they found themselves beaten and imprisoned. But God was working through their unexpected circumstances to change lives.

Pastor Aaron Roberts (Worship Pastor) - ​​​​​​​​​​​​Judges 10-12 (Judges 10:1-18; 11:1-11 & 14-40; 12:1-7; Isaiah 45:5; John 14:6; Hebrews 12:6-7; Matthew 7:8-11; 1 John 1:8)

We come to the story of the most famous judge in the book of Judges! He could tear a lion apart, but could he control his own desires? Samson’s story begins with a miraculous birth, a God-given purpose, and incredible potential. Yet compromise begins pulling him in the wrong direction.

As the book of Judges goes on, the deliverers of Israel become more and more flawed. The judge whose story is told in Judges 10-12, Jephthah, is no different.

Lesson 8 - Notes

Illustration #2: Israel During the Period of Judges

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Acts 2:44-45; 4:31-32 & 34-35; 9:15; 11:29-30; 17:6; John 3:16; Matthew 6:1 & 20-21; 24:3 & 12; 25:14-21 & 23-26; Mark 12:43-44; 14:9; Luke 6:38; 12:48; 1 Corinthians 4:2; 16:2; Colossians 1:18; 2 Corinthians 9:6

Ever wonder why the book of Acts is called “Acts”?

The book of Acts is the story of the disciples living out what Jesus taught them in the Gospels. This book is the “acts” of the apostles. What we see the disciples teaching and doing through the church is simply them putting into action the things Jesus taught them.

Jesus taught them to serve, love, teach, help, and care for people—but there is more. When Jesus died for them, He was teaching them to sacrifice for others—to give of themselves for the sake of others.

The question is: Do we view this as a practice of the church or simply an option?

Pastor Chris Andrews (Associate Pastor) - ​​​​​​​​​​​​Judges 9 (Judges 8:23 & 30-31; 9:1-57; 1 Kings 18:21; Proverbs 3:5-6; 10:9; 11:3; 13:2; 16:18; 18:21; 22:1; 1 Corinthians 15:33; Galatians 6:7-8; Psalm 73:3 & 16-17; 90:12; 1 Samuel 16:7; Mark 10:43-44; 2 Timothy 4:7)

A power-hungry king, talking trees, and a woman with a millstone… Judges 9 is quite a story!

As we continue our study through Rebellion and Redemption, this lesson takes us into “Politics, Power, a Parable, and a Projectile.”

Through this wild chapter, we’ll discover important truths about our character, the company we keep, and the legacy our choices leave behind.

Have you ever questioned God during a difficult season?

Pastor Matt Hodge (Discipleship Pastor) - ​​​​​​​​​​​Judges 7:23-25; 8:1-9, 12-28 & 32-35

In Judges 8, the man God used to deliver Israel from Midian begins to rely increasingly on his own judgment, pursuing personal vengeance, creating a spiritual snare for Israel, and leaving behind a nation that quickly returns to idolatry.
