Why do we sing and lift our hands at church?

  • Summary

  • In this episode, Mark and Ross tackle the "why" behind the tradition of singing in church, and even further why some choose to take postures of hand raising or kneeling during this type of worship. They reference moments in Scripture where people were moved to worship, or connect with, God through song. Though churches vary in the way they lead or encourage their congregations to participate in this style of worship, the art of connecting to God through the powerful medium of music is an important part of most church services. What postures should we take when we praise and worship God? Is there a true "right way"? Mark and Ross discuss in more detail why some people prefer the posture of their hearts to be reflected outwardly. These postures are not commanded of us as followers of Jesus, but for many people, they reflect a place of humble surrender, recognizing who we are in the presence of a mighty God.
