Hey peeps! I hope y'all have been well. This sermon really spoke to me and I hope it speaks to you too. I will also share with you why it got to me.
If you knew me in high school one of the first things you would notice was that music and dance were my heart beats! I could be having a conversation that is a matter of life and death and a single beat or the first few words of a song would completely distract me. In short I WAS a zealous worshiper of the world!
I remember in my first year of University, now feels like billion years ago, when I decided to do a week long fast from music..I thought I was going to die! I am not being dramatic (Though I can be :D), it was a real concern. But, by the end of the week I not only found that I could live without secular music, I also started to develop a taste for Christian music.
Fast forward 5 years, God has completely set me free from that attachment to secular music! Now, I not only listen to Christian songs at church, but I jam to it, I dance to it, I walk to it, ...
The thing I love about Christian songs is that they speak life and align you to God's word. Anyways, enough about me! Watch this sermon! Ask God what He wants to teach you through it!
I pray you approach this topic with a heart that is willing to learn and grow from it.
