Why do we lift our hands?

Psalm 134:2 – “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and bless the Lord.”

I Timothy 2:8 – “I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or doubting.”

Why do we have audible praise unto God?

Why do we have this type of worship?

John 4:23-24 – “But the hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a Spirit; and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.”

Why do we sing choruses as well as hymns?

Colossians 3:16 – “Let the work of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

Why are musical instruments a part of the worship service?

Psalm 150:3-5 – “Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise him with psaltery and harp. Praise Him with the timbrel and dance. Praise Him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise Him upon the loud cymbals: Praise him upon the high sounding cymbals."
