NSP Worship Ministry
The importance of music in the Bible is indicated by the fact that God’s creative and redemptive activities are accompanied and celebrated by music.
At creation we are told that “the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy” (Job38:7). At the incarnation, the heavenly choir sang: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!” (Luke 2:14). At the final consummation of redemption, the great multitude of the redeemed will sing: “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice and exalt and give him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; it was granted her to be clothed with the fine linen, bright and pure” (Rev 19:6-8). In our Sunday morning worship time, we sing enthusiastically and joyfully with/from our heart to a loving Father who invites us to worship Him and we do equally respond in a biblical manner.
Therefore, when we worship together, the grace of God is applied to the believer’s heart (Col 3:16). Without divine love and grace in the heart, singing becomes as a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal (1 Cor 13:1). The person who has experienced the transforming power of God’s grace (Eph 4:24), can testify that the Lord has “put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God” (Ps 40:3). The glory of God is our highest goal in worship! (1 Cor. 10:31) Therefore, everything we do is dedicated for this purpose.
We intend our worship to magnify Almighty God through instruments and singing. We have a blended style of worship that includes mostly contemporary choruses. Currently the instruments we use to accentuate the worship are: Electronic keyboard, piano, and tambourine and other instruments in view are guitar, drums, bongos, trumpet, saxophone, clarinet, flute, harmonica and organ and the family of strings. Lyrics are very important, so we chose worship songs that biblically and theologically sound and do not just attract only emotions and intellect.
Healthy lyrics help teach and reinforce healthy theology which is the foundation of Christianity. Our Minstrel team practices at different times of the week depending on schedules and other factors. If you sing or play an instrument we welcome you to come and get involved. We are always open to new comers with God given talent to participate in the worship of the one true God who has revealed Himself in Jesus Christ.
