This Sunday, the 7th of April, I will be teaching the first class of a series of adult Bible classes in music in the church. In this class I hope to present an overview of how music has been used in Christian worship from its roots in the songs of praise and thanksgiving of God's people in the Old Testament and New Testament times to the present. The first class will look at references to singing and playing instruments in the Bible, among other topics. There are 149 verses in the ESV translation of the Bible that contain words that are related to singing, "sing, sang, sung, singing, etc..." I will quote some of them in class, but I won't be able to read all of them. So I am listing the verses below. I found them with Accordance Bible software.
If you hover your pointer over a verse reference the verse will pop up. One of the amazing things about these verses is how many describe trees and mountains and other non-human living and non-living creatures of God described as singing. God created the universe with a voice! What a joyful testimony to the beauty of God's creation these verse are!
