A Note from Excelsior Drive Baptist Church

Monday, March 16, 2009 by Thomas Pryde ·

Today, I received a message on my Facebook wall from the pastor of Excelsior Drive Baptist Church (that was where we were this past Sunday). I thought that you, who are praying for our ministry, would rejoice to hear what he wrote:

"Hi Tom, guess what?? The Lord mightily used your teaching and preaching yesterday to move the heart of Melissa who is one of our teenagers. SHE GOT SAVED and the first words after that was I want to be baptized and join the church. Give me your cell phone number when you can and Teresa will tell you the whole wonderful, beautiful story. Hope all is going well." (Pastor Riley)

We are delighted and rejoice with very life brought closer into fellowship with God through the work that God has given us to do. You, who have prayed and sacrificially given to keep us moving, have played an important part in every single changed life! I trust that God will credit this fruit to your account.

Your Servant,
Tom

What Is A Sermon In Song?

Preaching

...should deliberately and consciously adhere to what the Bible says, where the Bible says it, and with the emphasis that the Bible gives. However, this should not mean that preaching is a dry, academic, exercise in boredom. No one should ever be put to sleep with the Word of God.

Music

...is like a language, with the volume turned up on the emotion, and when this is accompanied by lyrics, the result can be both powerful and memorable. Because of this, music must be used carefully and with particular attention to what is communicated to the audience (both lyrically and emotionally).

When these elements are brought together, you have a Sermon in Song!
