Musical Instruments in the Church, Part 4: What the Old Testament Says II (Heb. 8:5)

Summary

The sermon explores the use of musical instruments in Old Testament worship, emphasizing that David introduced instruments by divine command and that subsequent reforms in Judah adhered strictly to his pattern without additions. It highlights that instruments were used in temple worship but not in New Testament public worship, where only singing is mentioned. The message underscores the regulative principle of worship, asserting that only what God commands is permissible in worship today. The sermon concludes by pointing to the transition from Old Testament sacrifices to Christ's sacrifice and the resulting change in worship practices.
