Genesis Church: Sermon Audio

If you’ve ever sung in a group setting, you might have experienced a feeling of elation or comradery with those around you. Science actually backs up that notion: studies have shown that singing produces chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin, which produce feelings of elation and aid bonding with others in the group. It also reduces cortisol, which lowers stress and anxiety, not to mention the added intake of oxygen which increases blood flow to the brain and lowers blood pressure. Is it possible that God designed our bodies to work this way as a supplemental physiological benefit to His biblical call to sing together as His redeemed people? Today, we will encounter a song in Judges 5 that functions as the response of God’s people to the revelation of His redemption. We will see how it was the sovereign hand of God orchestrating the events of the crazy story in Judges 4 such that He fulfills His mission in ways we could not predict that portray His undeniable love, grace, and mercy for His people.
