Wait, What Are We Actually Singing? – Week 1

September 27, 2026

What are we actually singing when we gather for worship? In Week 1 of this Discipleship Hour series, Dr. Evatt explores the important role hymns and songs play in shaping our understanding of God, Scripture, and the Christian faith. From the early church and Ambrose to Martin Luther and the hymns we sing today, we’ll look at how music has long been used not only for praise, but also to teach and confess the truths of God’s Word. Dr. Evatt also examines why the words we sing matter, how hymns can point us toward Christ, and the danger of replacing the specific hope of the Gospel with vague spiritual ideas or feelings. Join us as we take a closer look at the theology behind the music of the Church and ask a simple but important question: “Wait, what are we singing?”
