The songs that we sing often speak volumes about our character. Music is powerful for the melody and words not only pull at our emotions but can transport us back in time to experience both good and bad memories. When I hear some of the songs of my youth such as Phil Collins “In the Air Tonight,” Foreigner’s “I Want to Know what Love is,” Eric Clapton’s “Tears in Heaven,” or Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger;” I can’t help but relive the emotions of times when I experienced injustice, breakups, deaths in my family and the difficult times that required shear grit to survive! And then there are those songs such as Josh Groban’s “You Raise me Up,” Queen’s “We are the Champions,” Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World,” or Michael Jackson’s “Heal the World;” which remind me of God’s loving tender kindness, my potential, my obligation to thank God for the beauty of creation and my responsibility to be compassionate towards others. The songs we love speak volumes as to how we view ourselves in relation to this world and God’s kingdom. The following sermon is going to review the resurrection of Christ and in doing so invite you to think about what kind of “life song” you are currently singing!
