Singing His Triumph Boldly

Worship Wednesday #6

Have you ever felt God’s presence so strongly in a worship song that you realized singing is more than just melody? At Redeemer, singing is one of the most powerful ways we magnify Jesus—boldly proclaiming His victory over sin and death. When we say “sing loudly,” we’re not aiming for volume contests; we’re capturing the biblical call to lift our voices unashamed for the King.

Colossians 3:16 encourages believers to let the Word of Christ dwell richly among us, “teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs.” Notice how singing is woven into discipleship itself. By voicing gospel truths aloud, we reinforce them in our hearts and help others remember them, too. It’s a family witness to Christ’s power—a demonstration that we genuinely believe He has triumphed and still works in us today.

This ties directly into “Worship as a Witness.” Imagine someone visiting Redeemer for the first time, hearing a congregation sing with conviction about Jesus’ resurrection. That collective sound, fueled by hope and gratitude, speaks volumes. It says, “We truly believe Christ is alive and reigning.” In that sense, our praise becomes part of our mission—another avenue through which we share the gospel’s reality. We’re a Gospel-Centered, Disciple-Making Family, so our songs serve as yet another tool for shaping us and inviting the world to see Jesus’ reign.

Think about that: every time we sing about Christ’s victory, we’re essentially broadcasting that He has won and we share in His spoils. This isn’t hype; it’s the heart of the gospel. Romans 8:37 assures us we’re “more than conquerors through Him who loved us,” and our singing reflects that confidence. It stirs our own faith and testifies to those listening that Jesus is worthy, and His triumph matters for everyday life.

Call to Action:
The next time you’re in a worship gathering, don’t hold back. If the Spirit prompts you to sing louder or with more passion, follow His lead—even if it feels a little out of your comfort zone. Your voice could be the encouragement someone else needs to believe in Christ’s victory for their struggles.

Final Encouragement:
At Redeemer, we don’t sing just because it’s on the schedule; we sing because Jesus is worth celebrating. So let’s continue lifting our voices with joyful abandon, sharing His win in each chorus. Together, we proclaim a living Savior who sends us back into the world—fueled by His victory, ready to disciple others in His name.
