Psalm 96:1 LSB

1 Sing to Yahweh a new song; Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.

Psalm 98:1 LSB

1 Sing to Yahweh a new song, For He has done wondrous deeds, His right hand and His holy arm have worked out His salvation.

Isaiah 2:2–4 LSB

2 Now it will be that In the last days The mountain of the house of Yahweh Will be established as the head of the mountains, And will be lifted up above the hills; And all the nations will stream to it. 3 And many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, To the house of the God of Jacob, That He may instruct us from His ways And that we may walk in His paths.” For from Zion the law will go forth And the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem. 4 And He will judge between the nations, And will render decisions for many peoples; And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they learn war.

Isaiah 43:6–7 LSB

6 “I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ And to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring My sons from afar And My daughters from the ends of the earth, 7 Everyone who is called by My name, And whom I have created for My glory, Whom I have formed, even whom I have made.”

John 4:23–24 LSB

Ephesians 5:15–20 LSB

15 Therefore look carefully how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 On account of this, do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; 20 always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;

Colossians 3:16 LSB

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with gratefulness in your hearts to God.

You should not go to a church because you just like the music

Doing things that draw attention to yourself

Worship should be participated in by all believers

Regardless of Voice

Insecurity discussion

Worship should effect the spirit

Does not mean emotionalism

Does mean that worship should reach your soul, be genuine, and be real
