  • Are You Attending God's Institute for Music in Worship?
    - Dr. Vernon Whaley
    God's plan for a dynamic relationship with Him is perpetuated & developed in our ministries as we teach our praise teams and musicians how to worship.  The Bible already outlines this plan of action through the Mosaic, Davidic, and Pauline Schools of Worship.  Listen as Dr. Vernon Whaley, Dean of the Liberty University School of Music explains shows how the origin, organization, operation, and opportunities of these three schools of worship serve as a Biblical model for discipling our own praise teams and musicians. 
  • Story-Telling Music: The Gospel Sung
    - Dr. Jim Hart
    What is the gospel? Why is it important to worship? What is the foundational purpose of music in worship? Worship music, in fact the entirety of Christian worship and liturgy, should be rooted in scripture, specifically the Gospel, serving a formational value that far exceeds the issues of stylistic taste that may thin out the subversive good news of Jesus the Christ. Led by Jim Hart, President of the Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies, we will explore the role of music in serving the scriptural content of Christian worship.
  • Shaping our Speech and Song in Worship by the New Testament
    - Dr. Lester Ruth
    When contemporary Christians speak and sing in worship why don’t they sound more like the Bible? Specifically, when modern Christians speak and sing in worship why don’t they sound more like the Christians of the New Testament? If an apostle of the 1st century showed up at your church next Sunday, would they want to say “amen” to the content of your service? Lester Ruth, a worship historian at Duke Divinity School, will discuss some ways in which a close reading of the New Testament can enrich how we speak and sing in the worship of God.
