Central United Methodist Church Season 72 Episode 80

Singing Our Faith

Scripture: Colossians 3:12–16

What we sing shapes what we believe. As we begin our new worship series, Singing Our Faith, Pastor Sarah invites us to reflect on how music forms us—individually and as a church community.

This week’s message explores the connection between worship and formation through the lens of Colossians 3, where Paul calls us to live in compassion, love, and unity—and to “teach and warn each other with all wisdom by singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.” Pastor Sarah shares results from our recent church music survey and invites us into a summer of worship shaped by the songs that move us, challenge us, and root us in the grace of Christ.

Whether you're drawn to traditional hymns, contemporary praise, or something in between, this series reminds us that when we sing with gratitude, our hearts and habits are transformed.

🎵 Reflection Questions:

1 - What does "putting on" compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience look like in my daily life?

2 - How does the Word of Christ live in me?

3 - What barriers do I experience that prevent me from singing to God with gratitude in my heart?
