Brainerd Conference Day Two: Morning Sermon, Sean Demars

TJ Freeman, Joe Wagner, & Josh MacClaren Season 1

Speaker: Sean Demars

Summary:
In this morning sermon at the Brainerd Conference, Sean Demars highlights the unique advantages of congregational singing, particularly within small churches. Demars explores the dichotomy between artistically and logically inclined Christians, referencing Exodus 15 to illustrate how God appreciates both prose and poetry, logic and beauty. He interprets the Song of Moses as a vital tool for teaching the importance of congregational singing, emphasizing that singing is both a duty and a privilege for God's people. Singing engages the whole person and should be done in response to God's grace, together as a community, and in a way that bears witness to our faith. Demars underscores the necessity for leaders to set an example in worship, encourages singing truth about God, and advocates for covering the full spectrum of God's attributes in worship. He concludes by connecting the Song of Moses to the Song of the Lamb in Revelation, emphasizing the eternal nature of our worship.
