John MacArthur.

Those of us who know the Lord, those of us who are his living church, those who are his

children in the world, the subject of his kingdom and his ambassadors in the earth, have been given a lot of instruction by the Spirit of God

through the Word of God.

And we're looking at an epistle, the epistle of Ephesians, you can turn to it now,

which gathers up so much important instruction for godly living in the world.

We find ourselves in chapter 5 now and verses 18 and 19.

We looked at them last week and I want us to look at them one more time this morning.

Let me read Ephesians 5, 18, and 19. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation,

but be filled with the spirit, speaking to one another in psalms

and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord.

We've been doing that. We've been doing that.

We've been doing exactly what verse 19 says, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns

and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in our hearts to the Lord.

The context of this text is worship then.

Clearly it is worship.
