MUSIC MINISTRY

TOIM Music Ministry is committed to facilitating the spirit of true praise and worship in every assembly.  This is partly enhanced through various musical ensembles.  We strive to promote and prepare the congregation for true Corporate praise and worship that is transformational and display the unity of the Spirit at all times. If you sing or play an instrument, we would love to have you join us.  Experience the joy and privilege of giving your time and talent for that which is eternal to the glory of God.  The choir rehearses on Thursdays from 8:00—10:00pm
  
We praise GOD for what he has done for us and worship him for who He Is.

Ps 9:11
Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

Ps 33:2
Praise the Lord with harp, sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

Is 42:12
Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare his praise in the islands.

Heb 13:15
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, this is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name.

According to the above, Praise consists of song, music, words, and we are to do this consistently, even when it is a sacrifice.

At times, when we’re having a rough time it can indeed be difficult to rejoice in what is taking place. But as we study the word of God, we know that everything is happening for a reason and that reason is for our growth and the Lord’s glory! (Rom 8:28)

According to the Word of God, the Lord inhabits the praises of His children.

Ps 22:3
But thou art holy, o holy that inhabitest the praises of Israel.


2 Chr 20:22
And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

These armies being stopped by the Lord, are pointing us in the direction of the enemy as he sets traps for us. As we praise the Lord we will walk in His power and protection.

Lets take a look at Worship:

1 Chr 16:29
Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord our maker.

Ps 95:6
O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.

Ps 96:9
O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
