In this message from the 2024 Church and Family Life Conference, Dr. Scott Aniol explores the essential connection between singing and discipleship as commanded in Colossians 3:16. While many are familiar with the verse “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs,” we often overlook the broader context. Paul’s instruction to sing is deeply tied to living as faithful disciples of Christ. Through singing, we not only meditate on God’s Word but also cultivate spiritual maturity, build unity within the body of Christ, and align our hearts with heavenly things.
In this teaching, we unpack how singing can help us fulfill the commands of discipleship—putting to death earthly passions, putting on spiritual affections, and living in harmony with others. Discover how singing can form mature affections, harmonize God’s people, and even help kill earthly passions. As we dive into the rich spiritual purpose of music in discipleship, we emphasize the importance of intentional, robust, and doctrinally sound singing in both our homes and churches.
Key topics covered:
• Singing as an essential part of discipleship
• How singing helps the Word of Christ dwell richly within us
• The power of music in forming mature spiritual affections
• How to lead our families and churches in biblical singing
Join us in recovering the powerful role of singing in the spiritual life, just as the early church understood. Let us raise our voices in faith and in truth to help cultivate the kind of discipleship that honors God and transforms lives.
