Welcome to the For the Gospel podcast where we provide sound doctrine for everyday people.

I'm your host, Kasti Hinn, and I want to welcome our listeners on Apple and Spotify or wherever

you download your podcasts and those watching this on our

YouTube video podcast format. Okay, so today's episode is the start of a four-part series on

worship. I am so excited. I've been waiting to release this to you. I got to sit down recently

in Louisville, Kentucky, as they say, with Sovereign Grace music. Bob Coughlin,

Devin Coughlin, and David Zimmer. We talked worship, all things worship. And when I say worship,

what I'm referring to in its application would be music. If you followed our ministry long enough,

you know that I make a big deal about worship being everything

from preaching and singing to giving and fellowshiping to disciplining. All of life should be worship

unto God. It's a, the word is Praskineo in the Greek. It's a bowing down. So all of life

bowed down before God is worship. But in this series, I'm saying worship and referring to music.

And that's what they're doing as well. And the way that we gather as churches and worship is so

important. Four episodes. The first, which is this one, is going to be the expression of our worship.

We're talking about handraising, not hand raising,

emotionalism, what is too much man-centered expression, stoicism, what is trying to be what we think

we're supposed to be because we don't want to be accused of being out of order. Really important

conversation on expression that you're about to listen to. And then we're going to talk about the theology in our worship.

Doctrine matters when it comes to music and lyrics.

And so Bob, Devin, and David are going to give a ton of wisdom on that.

And then the third episode is going to be the style of our worship.

Is it lights on, lights out?
