Through the whole Bible, we find people singing and making music as worship to God. Singing is a great way to praise God and let Him know we love Him. This Sunday we’ll take a look at how the Jews used music to worship God at an important time in their history.
It was after King Cyrus of Persia allowed the Jews to return to Israel after their captivity in Babylon. The temple had been burned to the ground, and the city of Jerusalem was in ruins. But many of the Jewish people were willing to return to the land God had given them and rebuild.
The first thing they built was the altar for burnt offering, starting the morning and evening sacrifices each day. Two years later, everything was ready to begin building the actual temple. As soon as the foundation was laid and the building could begin, a special worship service was held for all the people.
The Jewish song book is the book of Psalms in the Bible. Very likely Psalm 111 and Psalm 138 were sung in the worship service. The people sang, played musical instruments, and worshiped God.
We will look at music in worship and we will do some singing of our own this week. We will have a great time! Come and bring a friend.
Tom and Sydney Cook
