Central Church of God

Sanctuary Orchestra

The first reference to music in the Bible appears in Genesis 4:21 and identifies Jubal as the father of all those who play on the lyre and the pipe. Joshua 6:4-5 recounts the special
occasion where the priests blew their trumpets and the walls of Jericho collapsed.  During times of war, singers and instrumentalists always led into battle, singing songs of victory. 

Possibly the most outstanding reference to music in temple worship is contained in II Chronicles 5:12-14.  Here all the instrumentalists and singers were robed and properly placed in the Temple and it relates as to how they performed in “one mind and one accord” so that the Spirit of the Lord descended upon the house with His presence and seal of approval.  Prayerfully, this is to be OUR goal!
