Express Yourself - Week Three

July 19, 2026 0 0

Week 3 Secret Chords and a well known chorus — Music (begins Sunday 19 July)

Ever had a song give you chills, completely change your mood, or move you to tears? Music speaks a language our body, soul, and spirit all understand at once. We are ‘triune beings’ (body, soul, spirit) and music resonates across every layer of our existence, harmonising us with the Divine and each other.

Scripture Focus: Ezra 3:10-13

  • Core Discussion Question: In Ezra, the people's praise was a mix of shouts of joy and weeping. How does music help us express the complex, beautiful, and sometimes painful layers of our human identity as we strive to know ourselves and to know God?
  • Book: Resounding Truth: Christian Wisdom in the World of Music Jeremy S. Begbie
  • Film: August Rush (Beautifully capturing how music connects the physical world to something deeply spiritual)
