WHY NO
INSTRUMENTS IN
WORSHIP?
(JOHN 4:24)
I) “Why No Instruments In Worship?”
A) This question necessitates an investigation into the Biblical
purpose and concept of worship.
B) Organized worship of (Yahweh) God originated with God.
SERMON NOTE
Why is it that some churches
use instruments in their
worship today but others do
not?
While we may never know
the answer to every church’s
reason for refraining the use
instruments, the Bible is very
clear about this issue.
We must
be open minded enough to
explore and accept it.

1) It was handed down from heaven, and regulated
by God (Lev, Num, 1-2 Chr).
C) Worship was about publicly displaying honor and praise to the one true
God, accepting humble surrender to His will—In every aspect of one’s life.
1) The key focus of organized worship was to praise God according to
His design (Lev 10:1-3).
II) Those Who Worship God Must Do So In Spirit & Truth (Jn 4:24)
A) In SPIRIT
1) Worship of God must me be spiritual in nature.
2) Acts 17:29: Since God isn’t a physical—earthly being, we shouldn’t
view or practice worship of Him from that perspective.
3) 1 Cor 2:1-16: Christians must see God’s truth, purpose and will
for their lives—from a spiritual point of view, not a secular
one.
B) In TRUTH
1) Mat 15:1-9: Worship of God that is based upon the doctrines and
commandments of men, is vain.

2) We must be sanctified by God’s word alone (Jn 17:17-21),
because His word alone is truth!

My Sermon Notes
DID YOU KNOW, “Make
melody...” the Greek word here,
psállō, means “to rub, pluck; to
pull; twitch; twang,” and primarily
referred to the idea of playing a
musical instrument, such as a
harp.
But in Ephesians 5:19, Paul
identifies the human heart as the
instrument that is to be plucked.

III) Key Important Truths of New Testament Christianity
A) Jesus is its
1) Founder (Heb 12:2).
2) Mediator (Heb 12:24).
B) Christ alone is in a position of full authority over every aspect
of Christianity.
1) Mat 28:16-18.
2) Eph 1:15-23.
C) Jesus never gave His apostles any command or instructions for them
to require instruments in N.T. Worship.
Nor is there
ever any mention or example of such among
the 1st century church ( Jn 16:12-14; Jude 1:3).
1) The mention and use of instruments in worship to God
was prevalent under the Old Testament.
2) Instruments in organized worship to God was specifically
commanded by God (2 Chr 29:20-28).
Such is
not the case under the New Testament.
IV) The Early church in the first century during the apostolic age sang
praises to God in worship without the company of instruments:
A) 1 Cor 14:26.
1) Eph 5:19 Paul told the Christians in Ephesus and Colossae to
address one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing and making melody
to the Lord with your heart.
(see also Col 3:16).
B) Early “church fathers” and reformers were opposed to instruments
in worship because there was no heavenly authority for it.
1) John Calvin: “...musical instruments in celebrating the praises of
God would be no more suitable than the burning of incense, the
lighting up of lamps, and the restoration of the other shadows of
