Relating to the Sunday’s Hymns to the Sermon
When preparing for preaching and leading
worship, one can use lyrics from the day’s hymns to relate to the message proclaimed.
There are a number of reasons for doing so. First; if you look at pew racks where
hymnals and bibles are provided, you will discover that typically there twice
as many hymnals as bibles and the hymnals are larger and more up to date. The
truth is most protestants know more hymn lyrics than bible verses. The hymnals
are key to how congregates think about their faith. Second; if the preachers
makes theological points using hymn portions the points are more likely to be
remembered. Third; well selected hymns should always reinforce the message of
the sermon why take advantage of that relationship?
