How Does Music “Work” in Worship?

Posted by: Bob Kauflin In: —Interviews|Videos

This is the third clip from a longer video in which Tim Smith, worship pastor from Mars Hill Church in Seattle, WA, asked me various questions related to worship. In this portion, Tim asked me about the relationship between music and worship. In it I talk about some of the factors that have made music such a volatile issue in the church today, and different ways that Christians view music. Just scratching the surface here…If you want to dig deeper, I’d highly recommend you read Harold Best’s Music Through the Eyes of Faith. I read it in the mid-90′s and haven’t found anything as insightful, helpful, and biblically faithful.

Excellent responses, Bob. Loved the closing comment: “…wanting to use music to point people’s eye to how great Jesus Christ is.”

So very grateful for your Christocentric leadership, brother.

I’d love to invite you to upload any original songs that are well produced to worshipsong.com. It’s a place for your songs to be heard and for you to be able to sell downloadable mp3′s rhythm charts, etc.

Blessings…

  • Tim Azevedo: Thanks for responding Bob! So how come you wouldn't sing it in A? Is it because it's too low for the man to sing? I feel like C would be really high
