Muscial Instruments in the Church

Summary

Pastor Melter Keith Ellis discusses the scriptural basis for singing in the New Testament church, emphasizing that there is no biblical authority for the use of musical instruments in worship. He explains that Old Testament instruments were part of the sacrificial system, which ended with Christ's sacrifice. Worship in the New Testament is to be done by singing with the heart and spirit, as supported by passages in Ephesians, Colossians, and Corinthians. He urges believers to consider whether the use of instruments aligns with the finished sacrifice of Jesus.
